[Forrest]

NDK 2.6.0 is now out and available for download on the NetBurner support tools download page Please report any issues in this thread or directly to support by submitting a new ticket at http://support.netburner.com.

New versions of our NNDK are released for evaluation purposes only. We do not recommend using this release in an end product until it has been thoroughly tested. As with all new releases, this will be a beta for the first 8-12 weeks while we await feedback. If no major issues are present, we will upgrade this to an official release.

Please note: OS X release is in preview state. Currently not yet supported: MOD5213, Network Debugging. Expect frequent updates to the OS X preview as bugs are reported.

Hi - Any update on MacOS / Linux version? It seems MacOS has been stalled That's infortunate, we bought 1 year support only because of MacOS version.

Thanks,

[John.Ohl]

I second that question, any updates coming for OSX?

[nirias999]

The netburner.com site makes it appear that the OSX development tools are production. Is that really the case or is that just a planned future release? I ask because I never saw an announcement on the forum.
