Briefly: FileMaker 9 details revealed; release planned for mid-late 2007

 

January 25, 2007 - Details of new features in FileMaker 9 have emerged ahead of its release, as engineers continue to polish functionality and keep the database software competitive.

 

Among the changes planned for FileMaker 9 are object scaling based on window size, scripting triggers when entering and leaving fields, and significant ODBC changes. In addition, support for reading and writing to SQL databases will be added in FileMaker 9.

 

Object scaling is rumored to be in development but may not make it into the final release due to technological hurdles, sources say. Specifically, ensuring that scaling works at multiple levels without overlapping of objects, including white space and anchored items, may prove too cumbersome to implement.

 

In addition, developers are said to be working to support the FileMaker 7 database format, so that FileMaker 9 will work with 7/8/8.5 databases as well. If accomplished, this would mark the first time that a new version of FileMaker offered such extensive backwards compatibility.

 

Other sources report that accompanying the release of FileMaker 9 will be a thin client, although details of the product are scarce at this point. FileMaker's primary competitors have offered thin clients for years.

 

FileMaker 9 is expected to be ready around the second-half of 2007 at the earliest, although its release could be pushed to later in the year.

 

Meanwhile, rumors continue to persist that Apple is interested in unloading FileMaker, Inc., but no credible evidence of plans to do so exists at this time, despite the company's awkward fit in Apple's current and long-term strategy.

 

Since launching the FileMaker, Inc. subsidiary in 1998, Apple has taken a hands-off approach to its operations, simply reaping the financial benefits from FileMaker, which has had a solid track record of profitable quarters.

Een Thin Client zou inderdaad handig zijn!

 

De andere vernieuwingen zijn ook leuk:

* object scaling

* scripting triggers

* odbc changes

* sql support

* 7/8/8.5 support

 

Nog eventjes wachten tot half 2007!!

Nog onverwacht lang wachten, vind ik dat... :oops::cry:

 

Tegen die tijd kunnen ze het mss al maken dat het alleen nog op Vista gaat werken. Zijn daar gedachten / verwachtingen over?

 

Met zoveel mensen die nog bij XP zullen blijven, hopelijk niet.

Ik ben een XP gebruiker maar na het werken met MacOSX bij familie zal dat mijn volgende systeem worden.

 

Ik vraag mij echt af wat er zo geweldig is aan Vista, behalve de naam.

 

Zie ik wellicht iets over het hoofd? Bij het horen van de naam Vista krijg ik een associatie met iets traags in tegenstelling tot XP dat misschien wel het eerste soepel werkende Windows was, zeker in vergelijking met Windows 95 of nog erger Windows 3.1. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Kwa FM uit goede bron ook niet vergeten dat er een "Set Value" scriptstap komt :wink::P
