We haven't forgotten. Unfortunately, FOX does not current support the Mac,
so we won't be able to have a Mac version for this release.

I believe that Mac support for FOX is  "in the works", but we are also going
to take a dual GUI rendering approach and be able to use either FOX or
wxWindows (which does have Mac support). I am personally working on the Ruby
bindins to wxWindows precisely for this purpose.

Sorry to make you wait :-(
