There is a new build available, Wenatchee 2009-06-24, with many new features, enhancements, and bug fixes with the main focus on new 2-d functionality.
Everyone is invited to download and use the OS X version of Rhino while it is in development.
Most of the core functionality has been ported from Windows and is very stable. There is still much to do to port the rest of the functionality and refine the interface. We don't expect the first commercial release to be ready for at least a year.
Don't worry if the build you are using is going to expire. New versions will be available every few weeks. There will be a newer one available before the expiration date.
Rhino 4.0 Service Release 6 Release Candidate 2 is available for download.
This is pre-release software. If you are not comfortable running pre-release software, please do not download this build.
This release candidate has been tested by our internal testing staff and is believed to be stable, reliable, and suitable for use in production. As with all release candidates, however, there may be problems that we didn't uncover in our own testing. We expect several thousand people to download and test this Service Release and report any problems they have.
When we are satisfied that there are no major problems with this release, we'll release the Service Release officially.
Please report any crashes you experience using the McNeel Error Reporting dialog box that will appear. Report any other problems to our support team.

Workshops Factory is conducting a 4-week Rhino Scripting Seminar in New York City.
Dates: July 22-August 12 (Wednesday evenings)
Location: Studios GO
This class will offer the opportunity for architects and designers to begin to understand and use the algorithmic process as a tool for design by way of RhinoScript. Scripting is not considered a means to an end but rather a valuable tool used to make certain tasks less tedious and certain decisions more informed. More...
The SASC – Shanghai Aquatic Sports Center was renamed by the mayor. Now it is called SOSC – Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. The SOSC includes a gymnasium, a natatorium and an outdoor diving stadium. It will be completed and in use in 2011.
Since most of the design was done using Grasshopper, ZHANG Yan has been posting progress reports on www.grasshopper3d.com. The façade and roof mockup are finished. For all the details, see:

Intro to Architectural Scripting Workshop
Dubai - June, 12-14
When CAD systems started to offer scripting abilities, design processes took a different path, one where designers not only can automate modeling operations, but also devise rules and embed logic in their exploration of form.
This workshop is built around the concept of calculating/computing design. Participants will learn how to think in algorithmic terms and express their design ideas in procedures. We will cover basics of programming and build our skills through an array of short exercises of various levels. So if you have no programming experience, this is the place to start.
The main vehicle for the workshop will be RhinoScript. RhinoScript proved to be the best platform out there to explore design-programming for beginners and experts.
