Re:nothing new still

Hi again Ihor.

In light of the current situation we have decided to do some big re-writes of our DE9 code like switching from IE to Chromium for our internal web engine etc. This involves ripping central pieces out of the code and hence it will render the product in limbo until it has been properly implemented and tested.

DE9 will be our development hub for all products for quite some time and hence we want it to be as strong as possible. 

We have also switched quite a bit of our resources to our PURE Web offering (GoAllTheWeb) which will allow full Web development online. 

Beta is a way for us to share with you some of the ideas and functions we are working on but it is not a release product with regular updates and bug fixes. 

The latest build of DE9 Beta 33% is 4450 and the current one in development is 4712. That is almost 300 build numbers up which is over a 100 more than difference between 7.2 and 8.0 if you measure it in historic number and that took well over a year in Development.

At the moment we are not in release mode of any code but that can change quickly but as things stand now our first new beta will be "DataEase GoAllTheWeb" and then full DE9 Beta (100%).

Re:Re:Re:nothing new still

The death of Windows like the death of DataEase has been predicted constantly since the 90s and still - here we both are.

Microsoft have tried to capture the "device" market almost as many times and every time fallen flat on their face. 

One thing we have learnt in this company is that "killing" off software is almost impossible and very ill adviced. The biggest mistake done here was not to include DFD applications "as is" in our strategy when DFW was released. The idea that people would migrate/re-develop apps in this "fantastic" new environment was completely flawed and for the same reason MS will keep maintaining and develop Windows along the same lines for decades to come.

They might want to move, they might try to move but if people move it is away from them to another OS rather than on to their "new" one.

Hi Ihor.

I think that in general we agree.

DQL is one of the main pillars of DataEase and something that has been missing in most "easy of use" tools.

We have got this point and all future versions of DataEase is built around DQL.

DQL is the result of many different ways to drill down into a database and generate result which can be anything from a web page, a book or a report on the latest transactions.

We will not throw it all into the same pot so there will be simple and intutive ways to generate reports (DQL), pages (DQL), exports (DQL), Web Pages (DQL), transactions (DQL) etc.
