I especially want to thank our new team members. They've really put a lot of work into this release. You guys rock!

The past year I've spent a lot of time developing with Cappuccino and it's been great.

I started using Atlas. I wonder if Atlas will get any love, or if I'll have to figure out how to convert my CIBs to XIBs?

The Interface Builder integration is fantastic now. You really should be using it, it's worth the time it might take to port your CIBs to XIBs. Lots of things just work for Cappuccino in IB, including bindings and custom table cells.

The comments on the post seem to suggest that Interface Builder w/ XcodeCapp is the way of the future.

As a non-OS X user this makes me sad as well, but I'm guessing there are lots of legit reasons for 280 North to decide not to focus on it.

280North doesn't exist anymore, that's why they aren't focusing in it anymore. :)

Heh, OK I'd missed that development. Thanks for filling me in :)

They were acquired over a year ago. :)

Any tutorial for using all this stuff together in Xcode?

There's a 3rd party package on the site that is probably supposed to add syntax highlighting and such but it seems out of date as of Xcode 4.2.

Syntax highlighting in Xcode isn't working so well with Xcode 4. TextMate and Sublime Text 2 are the more popular environment for Cappuccino editing right now, I think, while using Xcode only to edit the UI files.

And here I thought all the coffee names were stolen by Java...

Cocoa was given its name because, at the time, it was intended to be built on Java. Cappuccino is a play on Cocoa. So while it may not be directly built on Java, its name did descend from Java.

Has anyone built something cool with this yet?

Sofa built a great app, enstore that lives on under it's new owner. Plex also has a Cappuccino component. Pixar built an internal app a while back. There are various others we've mentioned in the past, and several internal apps which unfortunately the public will never see

Very interested in this too, is there a showcase of apps?

Congrats cappuccino team!

Congrats!
