Hi folks, A quite note on this one.
There is no measurable marketing benefit to us for continuing to promote support for OS 9 at this stage. We are not maintaining this information for marketing reasons, rather we promised one final classic version to our users some time ago. 2.7.5 was the version this was to be in and this has been renamed to 2.9. We didn't promise this within a specific timescale and we made a public announcement to the effect that 2.7.5 has been renamed 2.9. It remains our intention to do a classic build with 2.9. That was the last public statement we made on this. There is a caveat with the classic build. We have encountered technical problems working with the classic port we didn't expect when we made the original announcement. We looked at this not too long ago and because of changes we have made its become much more difficult to update the port. So there is a risk that when we work on classic for 2.9, it will prove impossible. We are unable to devote weeks of engineering to resolving any "impossible" problem relating to this port. I can promise you though that will make a solid attempt to produce a workable classic version for 2.9 within a reasonable engineering timeframe. If we can't, it will be because the engineering issues have become insurmountable since the point at which we resolved to do this. In which case we would make an announcement of that with a full explanation at the time. Hopefully though the engineers will be able to resolve this issue within a reasonable period of time and we will do a successful final build, fulfill our obligation and move on. Until we have looked at it further I don't have any more information to give the community as I simply don't know any more. I hope this clarifies our position a little.
