PFiddlesoft Releases Version 3.5.0 of Its PFAssistive Framework - Published on 10/15/15

PFiddlesoft announces the release of a new version 3.5.0 of its PFAssistive Framework. The PFiddlesoft Frameworks help developers write assistive Macintosh applications for persons with disabilities using Apple's Accessibility and Quartz Event Taps APIs on OS X. The PFAssistive Framework was updated to add support for client applications that are written using the new Swift programming language. It also adds support for new accessibility features in OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and more.

Quechee, Vermont - PFiddlesoft is proud to announce that it has updated its PFAssistive Framework to version 3.5.0. The PFiddlesoft Frameworks are two frameworks that help developers write assistive Macintosh applications for persons with disabilities using Apple's Accessibility and Quartz Event Taps APIs on OS X.

The PFAssistive Framework was updated to add support for client applications that are written using the new Swift programming language. It also adds support for new accessibility features introduced by Apple late last month in OS X v10.11 El Capitan, improved power, speed and efficiency, and a few minor bug fixes.

The PFAssistive Framework was created in 2003 as the engine driving PFiddlesoft�s highly regarded UI Browser application for developers and for users of Apple�s AppleScript GUI Scripting technology. The framework supports and enhances Apple's Accessibility API. The PFEventTaps Framework was created in 2007 as the engine underlying PFiddlesoft�s free Event Taps Testbench utility for developers. The framework supports and enhances Apple's Quartz Event Taps API. Both frameworks have been revised and updated over a period of years, and they have demonstrated their power and reliability in PFiddlesoft�s commercial and free developer utilities.

The frameworks are written using Objective-C. They support the Intel 64-bit architecture using reference counted memory management or ARC, and they support client applications written in Objective-C or Swift.

Developers can now license the PFiddlesoft Frameworks for distribution or for use with their own products that use Apple's Accessibility and Quartz Event Taps technologies. The frameworks may be licensed free of charge for personal use or for distribution or use with a free software product. A modest license fee is required to distribute or use the frameworks with a product for which payment is requested or required. Source code is available for a separate fee. Different terms apply to large or established commercial software developers. For more information, visit the PFiddlesoft Frameworks website.
