Re: [Liberty-eiffel] Good news: Status on Liberty

Hi,

IUP project is working in a control that creates a simple editor based
on Scintilla (http://www.scintilla.org/). This is a basic editor, but
they have the intention to improve it on later versions. This is not
still at eiffel-iup wrapper, but I can include it and provide a basic
editor.
On the other hand, there are people working to port IUP to Mac (https:/
/github.com/ewmailing/IupCocoa). But this is still experimental and
needs contributors.

Regards.
