yesterday, the relase date was… yesterday
By my clock it’s still (barely) the day before yesterday. Yesterday will be here in about 45 minutes.
Well, if you go to a certain place in the arctic, you can stand in all the time zones all at once. Then you are in today and tomorrow at the same time. Yeehaw.
LOL you’re not alone. I’ve been refreshing certain web pages like a crack-addicted lab rat hoping to see a release.
Still shows the previous version. I guess it gets formally released during business hours or something?
Still more than 16 hrs of 2026-07-08 in Austin, Texas where Xojo is from.
I guess it will be released within those hours.
@Emile_Schwarz Where are you located that you were already in 2026-07-09 at the time that you posted?
Has arrived ![]()
I’ve been super excited for this release too. Some great updates in R2. Feels like Christmas!
Merry July

I agree it is a very anticipated release
Yeah this is enough for me to probably renew when the price is right.
France.
I may not say so in my op, but the first time I get the Release Notes for Xojo 2026r2, the date was 2026-07-07.
I do not asked because I do not needed, and waited for the next day. So, yesterday I d-saw the day change and went a bit afraid on what that would need.
I waited a bit after the usual release hour (Paris Time), then saw nothing ans asked here because someone (a tester) asked a question in the forum about that version.
I shared the screen shot to let everyone including Xojo) that I have no inside information (that I do not disclose confidential | internal data but publicly available data).
2026r2 is one of the nastier updates in the last years: my apps crash on quit and a code pattern that has worked since the times of Matt Neuberg crashes, too.
Bad news. I downloaded it but have not time to install / use it.
I will wait a bit…
I had a crash on quit with earlier betas. It was fixed in the later. Mine was related to not having a DesktopQuitMenuItem in the app.
I know yours was both API 1 and timer related. Does it still persist in the release?
I just tested with the final release. The crash is not timer based. I can reproduce it in debug but not the built app. Or I haven’t tested often enough. I’ll let Codex add some instrumentation.
Is this not the null object in a timer event issue, that you had? That’s the one I recall you talking about.
2026r2 is full of “we didn’t know that’s how that worked” type changes that, as usual, didn’t get enough testing. It feels like somehow I know more about the history of the framework than they do.
I haven’t been able to build the SSH helper for Lifeboat with 2026 releases because of these untested changes that break long-working code and I haven’t the time or care to figure what they really broke.
I’m shocked to see people calling this a monumental release worth renewing for.
Too many issues to remember.
Crash on quit: don’t know, yet, what is causing the crash.
Code since the times of Matt Neuberg: have a modal window with an init method to return a value. In the init method the window does a showmodal. The buttons in the window close the window. This now crashes in 2026r2. A “window.hide” instead of “window.close” seems to fix the crash. But I use that pattern like 10 times or so in the larger app.

Isn’t window.showmodal forbidden since some years as it would crash the app? I remember changing all occurences a while ago…
