No idea but the beta test program is supposed to be over around november 6th. So your guess is as good as mine.

! How about performance ? OC 1.1 was dreadfully slow on anything ! I put it on here. (386/33 and the like). It sounds to me like ! they have abandoned the old "hypercard" clone as a framework and ! created their own ?
Performance was very slow if you used their default stack builder but I found it quite acceptable on the 'custom' option. Now as of this release (keep in mind that it is beta) the whole design system is a little slower than 1.1. Menus call and object creations are slower than in 1.1. (that si getting the menus and object to respond in 'tool' mode.
Now keep tuned for more info on some real application testing and and their running time.
