Finally!

QuickTime VR 2.0/Macintosh is GM! It will be available in about 10 days
to customers.

Please keep in mind that QTVR v2.0 is NOT cross-platform yet! We expect
to ship QTVR v2.0/Windows later. This release is out now to give
developers a chance to start working with it until we have the Windows
pieces ready.

If you have any questions please call me at 4-2621.

Here is a letter that went out to developers:

Many thanks for your patience. QuickTime VR 2.0 is GM!

Richmond, California—March 3, 1997—Keyspan, the #1 provider of serial
communications cards for PCI-based Macintosh computers, has released a
driver update for the company’s SX line of low-cost, multi-port serial
cards.

A minor bug-fix update to SmallEiffel for CodeWarrior is now available.

If you’ve already downloaded SE/CW, just get the updater:

http://www.peak.org/~jcd/eiffel/updaters/SE-CW_1.0b1-to-1.0b2.sit.bin

New in b2:

– No stupid DebugStr when Cmd-Period pressed while compiling

– Reports an error if rootclass.c, rootclass.h, or rootclass.make
is open (1.0b1 would fail silently); still doesn’t work for
rootclass2.c, rootclass3.c, etc.
