Database bug - Version: 2009.5.0.0, 12/12/2009 04:11AM PST

2009R5 has a serious database bug - if you are using databases then wait for 5.1 which should be released by mid November

I still compile some programs for MacOS 9 and Win98 - so I keep a copy of REALbasic 2007 R3, the last version to compile for those antique systems, and which runs fine under Snow Leopard (note that REALsoftware supported those old systems much longer than Apple or Microsoft did).
The same code compiles fine in the latest REALbasic 2009 R5 - I get a few warnings that EditFields are deprecated (they are being replaced by the more powerful TextArea which supports spell checking and other goodies delivered by the operating system), but that was it.
To expect that code will run unchanged after 5 years is - given the developmental pace set by Apple - naive (to be polite).
Look at Apple's X-Code: X-Code 2.5 code often does not compile unchanged in X-Code 3. Furthermore X-Code 3 requires Leopard and does not compile for older versions of MacOS X. Or in other words: programs developed in X-code 2.5 under Tiger will run fine on Leopard but not necessarily the other way round (and I know a lot of people with PowerPC machines which run 10.4 Tiger). Apple is pretty much forcing developers to either forsake new features or abandon older systems. But you do not hear the X-Code developers complain - they just get on with their work, bring out a new version with higher system requirements, and earn themselves an upgrade fee ;-)

REALbasic is a easy to learn cross-platform programming language. It offers everything you need to make nice applications for Linux, Mac or Windows. But there was always a problem with getting the knowledge about this language. Now after years arose a great learning resource for REALbasic - http://realbasic.tutspolis.com/
