Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 6, 2006 -- REAL Software, Inc., provider of REALbasic, cross-platform that really works, announced today that REALbasic 2006 Release 3 for Linux is available now. In addition to the over 100 features and fixes that have been added, REALbasic 2006 Release 3 for Linux has been specifically tested and optimized for use with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop from Novell.
"REALbasic is a great tool for Linux," stated Miguel de Icaza, vice president of developer platforms for Novell. "Where Mono focuses on bringing .NET applications to Linux, REALbasic migrates Basic applications to Linux. With SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and REALbasic, enterprises now have a true alternative to the Windows desktop."
"SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is the best Linux desktop on the market," stated Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software. "Rather than waiting for Vista we think many IT managers and CIOs will now make the move to Linux because it's more secure, less expensive, and much more open than Windows. And for those businesses who are still locked into Windows by their legacy Visual Basic applications, REAL Software will help move those applications to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. We look forward to helping Novell convert a lot of Windows shops to Linux."
REALbasic 2006 Release 3 for Linux includes the following new features:
- Version control format. Save and export projects in text
format for use with version control systems such as CVS
and Subversion.
- Usability and productivity updates. Improved project
navigation, including the following:
o Automatically save state and option settings from
session to session
o Open various editors in separate windows depending on
set preferences
o Set default properties and properties lists in
separate floating palettes
o Icons and non-printing characters can now be used as
menu item shortcuts
- Linux-specific improvements.
o Improved user experience and increased reliability
for REALbasic and the applications it creates for
Linux.
