Are there any plans for a 64bit native version of Beyond Compare 3?
I run an AMD 64 bit version of Ubuntu Linux. I suspect that a lot of linux users who have 64 bit hardware run a 64 bit version of the OS, because almost all applications are available in 64 bit versions. I have got the 32 bit Linux build working via a 32 bit chroot environment, but it does not play nice with Subversion because meta chars in pathnames are not properly handled by the chroot scripts.
Anyway, all that pain and flakiness would disappear if there was a native 64bit build. I
dare say there are some windows 64 bit users out there that would also benifit.
While we are considering other platforms, I am confident that a Solaris 10 version would go down well with fellow sysadmins where I work, so If you have got the source code to be portable and compile on non windows systems, the next step to a wider range of platforms should be much easier.
