- The DaboRuntimeEngine binary package is at present only available for the Windows environment. It has four main advantages:
- It is easier to install (usually).
- It is easier to keep up to date by using the webupdate feature.
- It installs the DEMO package to help you experiment and learn.
- It installs the Tools in the IDE folder. Not a full IDE but some great tools.
The updates are only committed to the Binary package when the team are convinced that the next version is stable.
The binary package was intended as a convenient way to try out Dabo without having to install a bunch of stuff on your machine. It was never intended to be the permanent development system. If you have tried Dabo and liked it, it is strongly recommended that you make sure you have Python, wxPython, reportlab, and whatever database adapters you need installed on your machine, and then you can install the current source release of Dabo.
If you are going to actively use/ develop applications in Dabo you will want to upgrade to the source code version which allows you to do more customization and keep up to date with the latest fixes and additions using the SVN updating system. It will depend upon your issue or question that you point on the Dabo Users mailing list as to whether it will take weeks for the issue to be sorted out or sometimes merely hours. But regardless, SVN makes the updates almost instantaneously available.
