  • Running old versions of MacVector on Lion.

    Only MacVector 9.5 and later versions will run on OS X 7 Lion. Apple started transitioning their processor architecture from PowerPC (PPC) to Intel’s x86 in 2006. The Macbook Pro and the iMac being the first Intel Macs. When they did so they gave Xcode (the OSX development environment) the ability to create Universal Binary…

  • MacVector 10.6 and earlier and Lion

    If you have upgraded to Lion and you’re running MacVector 10 to 10.6 (earlier versions will not run) then anytime MacVector displays an error message it will crash. MacVector 10.6 was developed before even Snow Leopard was released and is quite long in the tooth now. Why not take this opportunity to upgrade to MacVector…

    Lion was released through the App Store earlier today. Although MacVector has not gone through a full round of testing, our initial tests on development builds and the released version shows that there are no bugs, or at least no obvious ones! Here’s the coolest feature of Lion, Mission Control. Technorati Tags:MacVector

  • New, personal, single-machine licenses now available

    We would like to announce a new license type that is now available – a personal license. This license is perfect for the user who only needs MacVector on one computer. It is perpetual (lifetime), will be node-locked to run only on one machine, and is less than half the cost of a standard license.…

  • MacVector12: Forwards (and backwards!) compatibility of MacVector files

    MacVector is very good at forward compatibility with sequence files. We do strive to ensure that all versions of MacVector will open files created by earlier versions. In fact MacVector 12 will still open files created by the very first version of MacVector! Backwards compatibility is more complicated as due to our policy of continuous…
