Description

Hi, try to run the Advance program but it continually crashes on me.

Looked through the FAQ's, made sure no other synergy stuff was on my system, downloaded another dmg and tried to install it as well - nothing but crash.

Can post error report in its entirety if you'd like, here's a little bit: 

"Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSProxy doesNotRecognizeSelector:activate] called!'

Thread 0 Crashed:
0   com.apple.CoreFoundation      	0x96bc7ff4 ___TERMINATING_DUE_TO_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION___ + 4"

Just bought the 5 user license and can't use it, what can I do, here?

Thanks for your time.

    I'll send you a 5-seat Synergy license via email to keep you running while I investigate the problem with Synergy Advance on Leopard. If you haven't got it already, you can download the latest stable version from:

    Changing ticket type from "Support ticket" to "Bug report".

    Time for a progress report.

    Synergy Advance depends on a number of frameworks, all of which need to be updated in order for it to work on Leopard. In recent months I've had about four to six hours available per day to work on getting all this stuff ready so progress has been very good of late.

    At the moment WOTest and WOBezel are 100% Leopard compatible. WODebug is also 100% compatible but I've taken the opportunity to rewrite the crash-report submitter to post directly to this webserver rather than send an email. This has required quite a bit of work on the server, a lot of which is visible here on this issue tracker if you check out the tickets.

    Incidentally, as I do all this work I am trying to prepare most of the code for release as open source. In this way users will be able to see the progress directly instead of inferring it from observing tickets and the like on this site. The intention is that the frameworks be free, but the core application will have to remain closed source for now, as it seems that selling licenses commercially is the only way to make a living on small projects (huge open source projects like Linux and MySQL etc are another story for those programmers who are paid by companies like IBM and Red Hat to work on them).

    The rest of the codebase is pretty close to 100% compatible so once the frameworks are done the release should follow thereafter.

    any update on this?

    I'm pushing out some more code as open source. At least a couple frameworks are now very close to the point where I can release the code.
