With Rosetta (allegedly) being phased out we will switch Express to use the file importer built into OS X, which is compatible with both Intel and PowerPC Macs. We still offer a version with a PowerPC importer, but moving forward we will phase out PowerPC support.Įxpress uses a different file importer that is only PowerPC. In the case of Pro, we have already switched the file importer to Intel, so there is no problem for owners of Intel Macs.
Since that means using Rosetta, this presents a problem. How does this relate to Express and Pro? While both of these applications are universal binaries (which can run on both PowerPC and Intel Macs) the file importers were PowerPC until recently. It then became an optional installation with Snow Leopard (10.6).
NISUS WRITER PRO ALIGN SHAPES WITH EACH OTHER MAC OS X
Rosetta was introduced with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and was also included with Leopard (10.5). (A quick primer: Rosetta is software that enables PowerPC applications to run on the newer Intel Macs.) The other big issue that will come up, if the reports are true, is that Rosetta will no longer be included in OS X. Pro 2 will receive a handful of fixes for issues that appeared after its release (including fixes for the page number display bug and the Bookends issue). These updates should be released within a week. These issues will be fixed in Express and Pro 2 in upcoming releases.
If the rumors are correct, Mac OS X 10.7 (otherwise known as Lion) will be released very soon.Ĭurrently, Express 3.3.2 and Nisus Writer Pro 2.0 are compatible with Lion, apart from a few issues that we have identified so far.
