March 27, 2007: Beta release for MacOS X!

Today is the first anniversary of the Bol Processor open source project. So, as a present to all of you, Bernard and I are very happy to make available the first public beta of BP2 running on MacOS X! Read the release notes or download it below. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! For help using this release, see the help forum.

January 26, 2007: First OS X launch!

In just three and a half weeks of devoted work, we have managed to finally get Bol Processor 2 to launch and run on OS X! As you can see from the screenshots, there are many cosmetic issues to resolve. And the Open, Save, and Print commands do not work, nor is there any real-time MIDI at this point. But it is possible to compile grammars and produce output in the Data window. So, BP2 on OS X is coming!

January 4, 2007: Bol Processor 2.9.5 released.

Bol Processor 2.9.5 has been released! This is the follow-up to the previous beta release and we are assuming that this release is stable enough to replace the previous stable version of BP2 2.9.3. Read the release notes or download it below. For an introduction to the capabilities of BP2, please see Bol Processor introduction. For help using this release, see the help forum. For general discussion of BP2, check out the BP forum.

January 2, 2007: Work on OS X version of BP2 commences.

Carbon porting of Bol Processor 2 has begun. Once finished, BP2 will run on MacOS X and possibly will still run on MacOS 8/9 too. We are very focused on getting this done and have estimated that the first OS X beta will be functional in about three months! To monitor our progress, check out the developer list archives.
