slow progress, but a new plug-in update inbound
progress on our migration front is still slow, but
we have had a small break: as you might recall, one of the milestones for Intel
migration is porting the Pascal code tree to C++, which is a major obstacle. we
have begun testing a new compiler that works with XCode: Free Pascal. it's a
very powerful compiler, and may be the ticket to go. there are still problems
(mainly integrating Apple's C calling interface with Pascal's linker), but if we
are able to use this compiler, we may have significantly less work to do. the
code will still have to be ported (as even two Pascal compilers can have big
differences), but it would not entitle such a big shift in programming
paradigms as a re-programming in C
would.
on the up side, we worked on
simple rotate, and pushed this plug-in up to 2.0 level, adding HD capabilities,
and a new 'smooth rotate' option for long clips.
