Helix Engine 6.1 is available as a Preview Release.

Helix 6.1 represents the second stage of our work in updating our code for OS X. Helix 6.1 features OS X (PowerPC & Intel) native versions of Helix Server, Helix Engine, Helix Client, Helix Utility and Update Collection.

Helix RADE & the Developer Utility remain Classic (OS 9) only for the time being. All products (except Helix Server) are also available in a compatible Classic version.

A rare printing issue — which only occurs under very specific circumstances — was found in the November 30 release of the OS X Engine. This bug has been fixed, and we encourage all users of Helix Engine 6.1.5 (145) to update to 6.1.5 (146) to avoid this potential bug. See technote R6750 of our Knowledgebase for more information.

Helix Engine 6.1.5 addresses numerous stability issues, refines rectangle placement on screen and print, and increases the size of text as compares to prior Preview Releases, and more.

The Release Notes found on the Preview Release web pages contains a comprehensive list of changes for this version.
