New Carbon Framework: Nano 1.2
January 26, 2007 - refNum Software have released Nano 1.2, a major update to their open source C++ framework for developing modern high-performance Carbon applications.
Nano 1.2 adds an advanced Software Update engine, built around RSS, that allows users to view release notes, download updates, and upgrade their software from within a running application.
This release also includes over 50 improvements and bug fixes, such as HTTP support, XML parsing, PCRE-based regular expressions, thread locks, and additional control over WebKit views.
Daily source code snapshots are now available through Subversion, and the svn repository can be browsed online.
Nano provides:
- A HIG-compliant application+document model
- C++ wrappers around every HIToolbox view
- Advanced features such as one-line-undo
- Built-in support for Software Update
- Improved Interface Builder experience
Built around the native Carbon framework, Nano allows developers to create full-featured, 64-bit clean, Universal Binaries with minimal effort using the industry-standard C++ language.
