Mac Users Pateince Wearing Thin

[kalub88]

Ok, I know this problem is in the F.A.Q section but the date on the post is 2002, so i was just wondering the status of a mac version....cause well like the title say....our patience is wearing thin;)

Don't hold your breath for it cause u will die.

No seriously, before a MAC version comes out they have to finish the TS port from Delphi/Kylix to C/C++. This was planned for TS 3 but now it seems that it will happen with TS 2.

After that the port to the MAC can start. There is currently no statement how long this will possibly take.

Well,

the official answer is in the FAQ. Also I wouldnt dare to put any (additional) pressure on the developers by saying something like "I guess in X timeunits you will have a Mac client", because as we all know, its one of the hardest things on earth to estimate howlong you take on large programming tasks.
What I think I can reveal, is that the porting to C++ is going on right now, and that - once its done - I dont see that much *extra* work that Mac needs. Might well be that Mac will be part of the supported plattforms when we start giving the *new* C++ code some testing, which will undoubtedly be necessary after such a big step (not to mension the features that are supposed to be going in). Dunno if this will be a closed beta or open, or (like with rc2) first a closed one and then be opened up once fairly usable.
We will see, and you will have to be patient, sorry for that - but I feel for you, as it was the same I went through while the TS Team was working on a linux client.
