Items requiring attention
  • WebDAV
    8.7.0
    The WebDAV module has been migrated to .NET 8. For those few systems using WebDAV, its web site or virtual directory requires reconfiguration.
New functionality
  • App
    8.7.0
    Every system can now have its own iOS or Android app.
  • Database Designer
    8.7.0
    Foreign key columns can now be initiated by drawing a connection between two tables in a function block as well as when creating a new table.
  • Database Designer
    8.7.0
    Meta data for columns and foreign keys can now always be edited.
  • Embedding
    8.7.0
    A new component for generating vectors embeddings from text has been added.
  • GenAI
    8.7.0
    GenAI now supports sending images and audio.
Performance
  • Event
    8.7.0
    Events are now fired instantly when the procedure returns if raised in a SQL call that allows the forwarding definitions result set (i.e. NewEdit, Execute etc). Events raised from all other sources are not affected and are started within a few seconds.
  • Event
    8.7.0
    Events can now be set to poll its queue infrequently, every few minutes, instead of every few seconds. This greatly reduces server load if many event listeners are present. This should be enabled for events that do not need to trigger quickly or are triggered from SQL calls that allow forwarding definitions, and hence are triggered instantly.
