Wow, RBTI is making changes and improvements so fast I can't keep up. I only program part time on the side.
I haven't even really started converting my 50 users from 6.1 to 7.1 yet and will not have the time to do this for several months. Too many fires to mess with at my full time job.
So, should I wait for 7.5 to come out or 8 to really dive in?
I have been writing small, small apps to learn 7.1. Like keeping track of 2 kids sports events. I can tell you 2 kids and 5 sports between them can get crazy.
Marc,
If I were you, I would jump on the band wagon now!
Start converting and fine tuning your 6.1 database and applications to be fully compatible with R:BASE 7.1 and then it will be breeze to step-up from 7.1 to 7.5 or even 8.0 (if you wish).
Private beta for R:BASE 7.5 and 8.0 will be available after the Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers's Conference on October 22-25, 2004.
********** About R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Enterprise Edition) **********
R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Enterprise Edition) stands to make the offering more suitable for use in large enterprises.
This version of Industrial-Strength, True-Relational and Multi-User R:BASE with already supported Stored Procedures, Triggers, After Triggers, Views, Temporary Tables/Views and more is for enterprise database users with NO LIMIT on the database size.
A one-step conversion utility will be included for the users of R:BASE 7.x to convert their existing 7.x database, forms, reports, labels and applications.
Once converted, R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Enterprise Edition) will NOT be backward compatible with prior versions of R:BASE, including R:BASE 7.x. (because of the different File I/O, File Structure and more ...)
R:BASE Turbo V-8 (Enterprise Edition) will include all the features, wizards and designers including the R> Prompt, (all-in-one) ease of use, similar to R:BASE 7.5.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
