Hej all,

Mac showed a bit of the new OS called "Lion" (Conservation status: Vulnerable. Doing bettet than the Snow Leopard: Endangered) today. I'd like to know what plans the Nisus team has for this release. Obviously it's still too early to tell (since I guess no one besides Apple has developer packages), but perhaps Nisus can tell us what are some changes we might expect in the new version for Lion. (Willing to pay for significant ones!)

Cheers!

Every time Apple announces (…oops, keynotes) a new version of something, I wonder, what do I gain? Is it really what I need? Didn’t I tell you I was after something else? and stuff like that. I mean, speaking of desktop publishing, I can do now what I could some twenty years ago, with system 6.something and PageMaker. I have some plusses, like live icon previews, but they slow my computer, even a double-core with gigas, and the scroll takes so long, so I use the old custom icon that, if I am not too old to remember, dates back to system 7.
On the other hand, we have software houses, like NIsus, that really progress at each new update. You couldn’t (and needed to) stick annotations? Well, here is an annotations tool for you. You couldn’t make text red? Enjoy the text the color you want.
I say, Nisus does bring really new and needful features into your computer. You say, hi Martin, why not a colored background? This is what I need. And many people say, sure, the kid’s right, I too need colorer background, jim-dandy, and next time or so you see colored background. Apple seems to tell you, this is what we have done. Ain’t it neat? Aren’t we cool people? And I keep on telling them, well, why don’t you make international hyphenation available? My, you’re using LaTeX’s hyphenation schemes. It’s all there. It doesn’t seem such a rocket-science task, does it?
Let’s see.

Pardon, I wrote in a hurry.

At this point we don't know much more about 10.7 (Lion) than everyone else, but we're definitely staying alert and will take advantage of new developments in OSX as appropriate.
