HN 4.3 and HN 5 using Free Pascal
« on: April 25, 2025, 09:38:23 AM »
This a belated post about the status of HyperNext Studio.

Unfortunately HN 4.3 is the final release using the previous modern 'commercial' compilers.
Sadly those compilers still produce very buggy HN runtimes and so are no use for future HN development.
HN runtimes require good reliable interactions between threads and the GUI which they cannot now do.

HN 5 is using Lazarus Free Pascal which has really matured over the past few years and is very reliable.
This is a continuation of the old HN 5 development project.
Development should now go much faster as some already FP debugged code can be copied from other projects.

HN 5 aims to build on HN 4.3 functionality including loading projects from previous HN versions.
 

For details on HN 4.3 just follow this link

Further details on HN 5 development will follow.

I am sorry but I do not have time to answer questions by PM or email.
