Mids' replacement is in the design stage. Don't hold your breath for any release dates, it's not even in soon(tm) stage yet.
Mids' will likely never be ported to any other platform due to is heavy reliance on Windows code in its base (e.g. .NET framework, etc.)

Mids' for HTML5 + Javascript/AJAX makes it available to most people with a modern browser regardless of platform.

HTML5 is the plan, I don't know how much java/ajax/jquery/whatever else is being used, but HTML5 is the basis of the new planner. The way we have it planned is that it will be one program that can morph to fit smartphones of most sizes (if not all sizes), tablets, netbooks, laptops, and desktops alike. Can't *guarantee* that but that is the current plan.

MIDS for the Lexon Delta-7XXV with the Quebit-7 processor and... Oh, never mind...wrong planet.

I want to make it abundantly clear that Mids is not being ported in any way. The new planner is a totally new system and won't even have the Mids brand on it when it comes out.

That's not actually the problem, the problem is that Mids' is written in .NET which is Windows only (and no, Mono doesn't really count) and so even if you could somehow compile it to run on OSX it still wouldn't work because the .NET frameworks aren't present.|

Cue standard rant: .NET is great if you know that your application is only ever going to be used on Windows systems and it provides a great base on which Powershell can operate, however, if you even think you might want your application to work on non-windows platforms than it's a terrible choice of language - this applies equally to any other platform specific languages.
Given the difficulty of finding something compilable that you can run on iOS, Android, Windows, OSX, Linux and anything else you feel like (Window Phone 7? Symbian? BeOS? HP-UX?) that also does what you want, HTML5 is often the best solution these days.

What's more is that .NET is, in a very real sense, Microsoft's answer to Java. C# in particular is nearly identical to Java save for the names of the built-in classes and a few method names (String.toUpperCase() versus String.ToUpper(), for instance).|

But that's beside the point... The point is that Java is fairly cross-platform as it is, but it's specifically not supported on key mobile devices like iOS and Android (which is ironic, since Android apps are actually Java with a different GUI kit).
It wasn't really until around March-July of this year that HTML5 really took hold, so it happened to come along right when we needed it. The new planner's gonna rock.

And given Oracle's general behaviour since buying Sun I think it's probably for the best that Android isn't running their JVM (unless they win their stupid lawsuit, of course, which would be interesting).

Not even in the credits somewhere?

Maybe as an "Inspired By" note, but Mids has no involvement in the new project, and none of the code from the old one will be used in the new one.

In fact, I wrote a totally custom encoder for that format in Sentinel; that doesn't use the Mids code either.
As long as it's ALMOST as good and ALMOST as frequent on updates i'll be content! Not to mention i wont have to split screen my laptop when building toons in game
Not sure we can do almost. The current design spec calls for better. Will that do?
