- Most of what I've heard about this is second-hand, but I think I have it
- right. Apple has stopped all but bug-fixing on MacApp. I'll actually be
- surprised if we even see another bug-fix release. Most of the former
- MacApp team is now working on "Bedrock", a new class library being jointly
- developed by Apple and Symantec (makers of Think C). Bedrock is supposed
- to be a multi-platform, and will run on (at least) Windows. Apple has said
- there will be some sort of migration path from MacApp to Bedrock, but I
- don't know any details.
