The features I was most interested in (after 24-bit PostScript) where a
couple of related features to make distributing code, particularly
cross-platform DLMs, easier. Here's a brief run-down of the features:
http://michaelgalloy.com/2009/06/03/idl-71-distributing-code .html
If you are familiar with the Workbench update mechanism already, here is
the update URL for the example code (otherwise, read the article):
http://updates.idldev.com/dist_tools
Here's the documentation for the code I'm distributing:
http://docs.idldev.com/dist_tools
The code consists of some routines and classes useful for distributing
code to others (yes, quite "meta" to distribute code making distributing
code easier!): a preference system, a logging framework, and a few other
miscellaneous routines I use in nearly every application I write.

Yes, the author still has to build the code on the different platforms,
this is only for distributing the compiled code.

Just so I'm clear... this is just a fancy way to distribute pre-
compiled code libraries to different architectures? What would really
be fantastic is a cross-platform compiler packaged with IDL, and used
to compile C code on any platform, without shifting that burden to the
author.
