OS X 10.7 Lion compatibility

Will the current release of MWorks run on 10.7?

Will the current release of MWorks run on 10.7?

Yes, it runs on 10.7. However, it hasn’t been tested extensively, and I’m not aware of any labs currently using MWorks+10.7 in production setups.

The only issue I’ve seen when running MWorks under 10.7 is that timers and scheduled actions fire a bit later than they did under 10.6. The delay is pretty small (in my experience, a few hundred microseconds), so I doubt this will impact any real experiments. However, it’s something to be aware of.

If you’re using an ITC-18, be warned that the driver installer is a PowerPC executable. Since OS X 10.7 drops support for Rosetta, the installer won’t run on 10.7 systems. I’ve been meaning to write a little script that will extract the drivers from the installer package and move them into place; if you need this, please let me know.
