Sixty four bits of goodness

Hi Everyone,

It looks like L3DT release 3.0 will include a 64-bit version, at least for the Professional edition. This very evening the first developmental build of 64-bit L3DT Pro was compiled and run, with no obvious problems. As if no further proof is required, here is the 'about' dialog box:

Wow, a 64-bit 'about' dialog box!

There are still some hurdles to clear before the 64-bit builds will be publicly available; namely all plugins must be re-compiled for the AMD64 architecture, and every feature must be tested to ensure there are no ill side-effects.

I shall keep you informed as to the progress on this endeavour.

Regards &etc,
Aaron.
