hi all,

i don’t think we are quite ready to release 3.5.0, so it might be better to do
another release candidate. there seem to be some issues with scapp, that are
most likely related to 64bit, so for now we will provide only a 32bit dmg.

so again, please test … if all works well with this rc, we can do the final
release very soon.

i hope this is the final release candidate before 3.5 is out. we’ve been able
to fix a number of bugs, especially the cocoa/escape bug that caused some
troubles with earlier binaries in 64bit mode. HID on osx is still broken, but
we will release 3.5 without a fix, as no osx dev had been able to track down
the issue.
this time, we also have a win32 installer: it does not come with any editor,
but it ships with a plugin for gedit [1].
and osx users may be happy to hear that there is also an updated package of
sc3-plugins binaries …

so, please test … if all is working well, we will have a final 3.5.0 next
weekend …

another catch — when converting the font from the plot skin,
make sure the font name exists, otherwise cocoa can crash
hard!
