Important news about Mac OS X 10.7 Lion!

Mac OS X 10.7 users will be pleased to know that Abvent has released a free update to Artlantis 3.0.7, which fixes an issue with opening files. The update is available in 32 bit and 64 bit versions, and is intended only for users of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).

Please note that the 64 bit version is still in alpha, which means it is experimental and unsupported. We recommend that all major project work be done using the 32 bit version. Limit usage of the 64 bit version only to generating renderings or animations, where the advantages of the 64 bit architecture will make the biggest difference. Before opening a project in the 64 bit version, duplicate the 32 bit version of your project (label it "64 bit" to avoid any confusion), so that if any problems are encountered in the 64 bit version, you'll be able to easily roll back to the original 32 bit version and continue work in the 32 bit environment.

• Download the Artlantis 3.0.7 update here.
• The 30-day demo of Artlantis can be downloaded for free here.

Thank you!

Artlantis and MacOS 10.7 (Lion)

Dear Customers,

Apple recently launched a new operating system, MacOS 10.7, also known as "Lion". Having been unable to evaluate all the software features of Abvent's products with this new configuration, we recommend to our users NOT to upgrade their systems for the time being. Based on the outcome of our tests and evaluations, we will keep you informed about the compatibility of our products with MacOS 10.7.

Thank you for your confidence and patience. We will be in touch again soon.
