Anyone kow if this program (Freeway Pro) will be updated to 64-Bit for the Macintosh operating system. Apple is doing away with support for 32 Bit software in the near future. Is Softpress going to update to 64 Bit?

I’ve not been actively involved in the development of compiled
programs for a while now, but I would imagine that it would take some
effort to develop any application in a way where 32/64 bit binary output
is not selected at build time. In fact 64 bit would probably be default.
The source code (what they are actually writing) would be the same
either way.

We’re working on a 64-bit version of Freeway.
Because Freeway predates Cocoa, and because Apple have stopped supporting the non-Cocoa (Carbon) APIs that Freeway uses, this means that Freeway has to be rewritten from the ground up (as a Cocoa program).
Our other programs (Exhibeo, Chroma, and Fretspace) are Cocoa programs.

Has Apple confirmed that Mojave will do this? I didn’t notice it in the press release nor other things I saw yesterday, but I may have missed it or not read the right sources.

I think that what Apple has said is that 10.13 is the last version of macOS that will run 32-bit programs “without compromise”.

Just saw this:
Mojave will be the last version to support 32 bit. After Mojave 32 bit apps will not run at all.

Does anyone have an update on IF or WHEN Softpress will develop a 64-bit system for Freeway?
Softpress is doing a poor job of communicating any information on the status of this, and it’s preventing many of us from upgrading operating systems.
Should I start looking for another stand-along program to create websites?

Thanks much for the update. I completely understand the complexities involved.
Is the ANY ETA whatsoever? Are we talking about a few months? A few years? Any timeline would be helpful so we can properly schedule projects.

Hi Daniel,
We haven’t announced an ETA, but we’re aware that the next version of macOS (presumably late 2019) will not support 32-bit applications, so we obviously want to have something available by then.

There isn’t anything I know of that is preventing you from upgrading to the current version of macOS (Mojave).

I can confirm that Freeway 7.1.4 runs OK under MacOS 10.14.1 (Mojave). You get the message about the software needs to be updated and may not run under future versions of MacOS. Looks like “may not” is actually “will not”!!

Freeway works fine on Mojave. If Apple lives up to their stated goals, the next major version (10.15.0) will not allow 32-bit applications to load or run. Mojave does, and will continue to, throughout all of the 10.14.x.x.x versions.

I own a small manufacturing company that is about one tenth the size of my two competitors and yet I consistently have a much better, more professional web site than they do. I have been doing my own web site for over 15 years and Freeway Pro is the most powerful easy to use software for web site development. I hope Jeremy knows that I am more than happy to pay a significant upgrade fee for Freeway Pro 8 which is 64 bit compatible.

Freeway Pro is now crashing on launch after the “not optimized” message appears …

Are you on a Catalina beta? (Because as you know, that won’t work, shouldn’t allow you to launch at all.)
Are you using the very latest version of Freeway? (7.1.3, I think)
I am using the latest version of Mojave, and Freeway Pro 7.1.3, and I diid get the alert on first launch, and occasionally thereafter, but have had no stability problems.
The one thing that will reliably crash many Mac OS X applications, even in this day and age, is dodgy fonts or mangled preferences files. One way to debug this easily is to use the System Preferences Users and Groups pane to create a new user, sign in as that user, and try launching Freeway in that account. You won’t have any of the extras that your account has gathered over time, and if you use an external font management system, or the built in one in the OS, you will likely only have the bare system fonts enabled. If that works, you can then start the process of debugging things.
Preferences: open the [your user]/Library/Preferences folder, find the Freeway preferences and move them out of that folder (while Freeway is not running). They will be re-created from defaults the next time you launch Freeway.
Fonts: if you’re using a font manager, try disabling half (any half) of the fonts you have opened. Re-launch Freeway, see if it launches. If it does, quit and re-enable half of the fonts you disabled. If it doesn’t, re-enable the ones you disabled, and disable the other half. Repeat until you find the one or ones that cause the crash, and restore them from the originals (wherever you purchased them).

I am not on Catalina. This just started happening a couple of days ago. None of my other apps are crashing, just Freeway Pro 7.1.4. I have gotten the “not optimized” message for over a year now on every Freeway launch.
