| 2008-02-25 | Maintenance Release 2.95 |
| The 2.95 maintenance version has been released. Its main purpose is to eliminate the incompatibility of the Leopard (10.5) Mac OSX with PMOD 2.9 and earlier versions. This incompatibility was incurred by Leopard which does not support some of the user interface widgets used by PMOD. Consequently, the whole PMOD user interface was revised in order to replace the affected widgets. As a result, PMOD has now a platform-specific look on Mac systems. On Linux and Vista systems, however, both the proven cross-platform look as well as a system-specific look are now available.
The 2.95 maintenance version also comprises a number of fixes and improvements, as documented in the Release Notes. |
