Preview of New Development System, Revolution 1.0 - Launched by Runtime
Revolution Ltd.
Edinburgh, Scotland, Wednesday 21st Feb 2001. A preview of Revolution 1.0,
a state-of-the-art rapid application development system, has just been
released by Runtime Revolution Ltd., in public beta test form.
Runtime Revolution is inviting developers, computer professionals,
educational users and hobbyists - in fact, anyone who writes, designs or has
an interest in creating computer software - to try out this preview version
and provide feedback. Users may download a copy from Runtime's web site
http://www.runrev.com/. This preview version is free for any type of use,
but will expire when the testing program is completed.
"Revolution represents many years of painstaking design, development and
refinement." said Kevin Miller, Runtime's Managing Director. "Not only have
we made development and product maintenance easier than ever before, but
we've done it on every major computer platform. Revolution at last delivers
true power to the developer with the ability to write once and play
anywhere. We're very excited to release this eagerly awaited preview
version!"
The Revolution development system allows users to easily and rapidly create
powerful Internet-enabled applications and solutions which can then be
delivered on MacOS, Windows, Linux, and popular UNIX systems. (Support for
MacOS X is planned.) Utilizing a state-of-the-art high-level scripting
language called Transcript, Revolution allows more efficient application
prototyping and development than is possible with any more traditional
(third generation) language.
Revolution includes an unprecedented set of features: from the basics such
as support for standard interface objects including buttons, text, bitmap
(including GIF, JPEG and PNG) and vector graphics; to support for QuickTime
and QuickTime VR (on MacOS and Windows systems); through to more advanced
support for associative arrays and text pattern matching; and even full
script level support for Internet sockets (a basic client-server application
can be written in less than 10 lines of script); Revolution represents an
essential tool for every developer.
Once the testing program is complete, the final version will be available as
a number of different license types, from only $25 for a K-12 educational
license (minimum purchase of ten) to the top end professional license at
$995. Hobbyists are not forgotten, either. The Starter Kit Edition, which
allows access to a restricted set of features, is completely free. Users
are only required to purchase one license to author with Revolution on all
supported platforms. The preview version contains the complete professional
edition feature set, together with its generous end user/publisher license.
This allows royalty free commercial distribution of software developed with
Revolution on all supported platforms.
