HyperCard open source

RunRev's "Community Edition" of HyperCard is now available for download.

RunRev is prone to hype and has a rep for poor support, so caveat emptor !

This grew out of a KickStarter ( yes, kick-starting HyperCard — so as I said …

Note: this is now multi-platform HyperCard under the moniker "LiveCode".

Note : with RunRev nothing is ever as it seems : you must register to run this "open source" "community edition".

Poor support item picked at random : StackOverflow complaint ; the web abounds in such exasperated customers over the years. You may also want to add a rule to the mail account used to register so as to send the hype-mail to the bit-bucket.

Their former personas include

The LiveCode programming language (formerly the "Revolution" programming language) is a commercial cross-platform rapid application development language.

Formerly MetaCard formerly HyperCard ( which still belongs to Apple ?)

Curl Open source at sourceforge.net

Over at developers.curl.com I have posted the links to Curl open source projects which are from curlap.com in Japan which are found at code.google.com

The project home page at Google with the links is The Curl ORB home page at code.google.com/p/curl-orb

These projects are typically shy of being 1.0 releases.

At the moment they are as follows:

• Curl ORB 0.7
• Curl Advanced UI 0.6
• Curl Sonntag MVC 0.7
• Curl Non-visual Libs 0.7

To quote from their sourceforge.net home pages:

Curl Non-visual Libs
Extended components for Curl language, such as String utility, collection utility, UI utility, logging, log-rotate, data caching, encrypt/decrypt and such.

Curl Sonntag MVC Framework
Curl Sonntag is a simple MVC framework for Curl.

Curl Advanced UI
Advanced User Interface libraries provide components necessary for creating rich user interface applications easily. (for details see this blog post at developers.curl.com)

Curl ORB
Curl ORB is to communicate between Curl and server side Java. It can generate Curl source code from POJO (Plain Old Java Objects), and invoke the Java methods on the server-side from Curl client-side applications.

There is also a new External Libraries project from curl.com in Cambridge, MA, and I will post a note on that open source package when it is out of alpha.
