In 2009, a migration assistant was launched to help move code from Visual Basic.
In 2004 REAL software announced the "Made with REALbasic Showcase" program to highlight applications created with the product. The new IDE employed a redesigned user interface. The option to compile for Linux was added in 2005 and the integrated development environment (IDE) was ported to Windows and as a free public beta for Linux platforms. Prior to version 2, the Java target was dropped and later replaced with a Windows target and database support. The CrossBasic name was trademarked by another company, so the product was renamed REALbasic. A public beta was released in April 1996.
CrossBasic got its name from its ability to compile the same programming code for the classic Mac OS and the Java virtual machine (although the integrated development environment was Mac only). In 1996 FYI Software, founded by Geoff Perlman, bought CrossBasic, which had been marketed by its author Andrew Barry as a shareware product.
