This is a beta release so it may contain some quirks. Please report any problems or make suggestions for improvements to us at support@wingware.com.
Version 2.1 is a free upgrade for Wing version 2.0 users; any license for the 2.x series will work with both. Version 2.1 can coexist with 2.0, although they share the same configuration files. It should be possible to switch back and forth between them on the same system.
System requirements are Windows 2000 or later, OS X for PPC 10.2 or later, or a recent Linux system. We plan to support OS X for Intel in the future.
