Revolution 2.7.3 released, support for U3

[Heather Nagey]

Dear list folk,

I am delighted to announce that Revolution for U3 is now available  
and to give you good folks advance notice about a special offer.

2.7.3 now has support for building applications on and for U3, the  
future looking system for running seamlessly from a flash drive,  
download it here:

As a special offer, we have a very limited supply of the RevCon West  
U3 flash drives in beautiful translucent purple for the first 36  
purchasers of any Revolution CD plus any type of license! Yes, that  
includes updates, new purchases and even Media licenses.

The U3 platform powers U3 smart drives that let consumers carry and  
launch not only files but software programs, personal preferences and  
computer settings - and the means for managing it all - wherever they  
go. Consumers simply plug the U3 smart drive into the USB port of any  
PC and securely access their files and software programs via the user- 
friendly U3 Launchpad. When the U3 smart drive is removed, the U3  
Launchpad disappears from the computer and no personal information or  
software is left behind.

Revolution 2.7.3 lets developers select a “U3 compatible” option when  
they begin creating a new software program. The new software they  
create will automatically conform to the U3 platform and will pass  
U3’s compatibility testing. Because the Revolution 2.7.3 development  
environment itself is U3 compatible, developers can carry Revolution  
on a U3 smart drive and securely access their work on any PC.

As well as U3 support, 2.7.3 brings you

- Zip file management allows file compression, listing archive  
contents and adding or extracting files in archives.

- Application instancing lets developers control whether multiple or  
single instances of Revolution-based applications can run on Windows.

- Improved Revolution Player-based distribution adds support for very  
long file names. Several additional fixes were made to players.

- The Revolution integrated development environment has been upgraded  
with fixes for interrupting applications during the debugging process  
and with minor adjustments to make it easier to modify.

This is a feature release, which means if you have a valid update  
pack you can download and install this for free, if you don't have an  
update pack you are going to need to get one in order to access this  
release.
