Valentina 1.8.7 Introduces Java, MacOS X REALbasic, Shockwave Versions

TECHNOLOGY RELEASE 1.8.7 INCLUDES NEW PRODUCT, STRATEGIC IMPROVEMENTS TO
DIRECTOR, REALBASIC AND MAC OS X VERSIONS

January 18, 2001. Beaverton, Oregon. Paradigma Software announced the
availability of technology release 1.8.7, including powerful new
functionality to most SDKs and MacOS X support. It introduces the release
version of Valentina for Java (VJSDK), Shockwave safe and Authorware
friendly Valentina for Director, and MacOS X ready versions of Valentina
application and Valentina for REALbasic.

Valentina for Java is the first of Paradigma Software's line of database
tools for development of client side pure Java applications. VJSDK includes
implementations for Macintosh and Windows development and  includes the
Valentina application (VAPP) for rapid creation and modification of
object-relational databases. VJSDK is available for $299.

Valentina for Director release 1.8.7 is now Shockwave safe, meaning the
Valentina runtime can be downloaded with a Director Shockwave project. It
also includes compatibility with Macromedia Authorware. Valentina for
Director is available for Macintosh and Windows platforms. Single platform
pricing is $199. Two platform pricing is $299, and includes the Valentina
application. Version 1.X users can upgrade to the latest version for free.

Valentina for REALbasic 1.8.7 is the MacOS X compliant version of the
Valentina implementation for the popular visual BASIC environment,
REALbasic, supporting REAL Software's native MacOS X and Classic
compilation. Valentina for REALbasic Standard Edition is available for $199.
The Professional version is $299, includes the Valentina application and
supports Windows compilation.

Version 1.X users can upgrade to the 1.8.7 versions for free.

"REALbasic programmers want to develop for MacOS X now so they can ship OS X
ready applications when the OS is ready. They don't want their apps to be
forced to run under 'Classic'.  With V4RB 1.8.7, they can be assured that
their Classic, MacOS X, 68K and Windows applications are all supported by
the fastest and most robust database engine available for REALbasic," said
Ruslan Zasukhin, founder of Paradigma Software.

Additional information is available on the Paradigma Software website, or
through its authorized international distribution partners.

H Simon,
Hi Dave,
Hi Scott,
Hi MetaCard Developers,

 Hey Scott, why not add a notices page to the MetaCard list so people
 can post their product releases to it?  This is not this first time I
 get spammed in the list (lets call it what it is), it's only going to
 get worse before it gets better.

Please take my apologies for sending to MC list general PR.

I understand reaction of Simon, which decide that this is just spam.
Valentina is new for Metacard community, so probably many people are not
aware yet that actually Paradigma offers a product for Metacard developers
-- Valentina XCMD (VXCMD)
as for MAC so for Windows.

We do release of the WHOLE product line.
This means that release 1.8.7 offers improvements and fixes to VXCMD users
also. 


 On the other hand, it's nice to get information about
 Metacard-related products. We're not exactly swamped with them. :)

I also think so, there is nothing bad to get announcement on list of new
products and updates which will help you work.


 However, the press-release style probably doesn't make many friends
 on a list like this. Something written specifically for Metacard
 developers would be nicer.

Agree, on the other hand this is hard enough to do,
because Valentina now support a lots of API:
C++, Java, Director, RB, xCards, WebSiphon, AppleScript


 By the way, I just gave the Valentina xcmd (Windows version) a try
 out. I'm no database person, but it seems a solid and powerful tool.
 It took a couple of long sessions to work out what I was doing, but I
 managed to build tables, link them, load data, run queries, etc, all
 from a Metacard interface.

btw, have you try use Debug feature of VXCMD ?
Highly recommend to use.
 
 I'd be interested to hear from anyone using it for "big" projects
 about its performance and stability.

Dan, if you want to get info about Valentina the best place -- Valentina
list. (btw on our WEB you can find archive for last 1.5 years).
On this list you will meet several hundreds of Valentina developers which
work on MAC and Windows, which use all that different APIs, but they are
joined by Valentina. Valentina community is very friendly and responsible
(as Valentina itself :-)

PERFORMANCE: you can find benchmarks of Valentina on our site.
in short -- incredible

PROJECTS: practically of any kind. From small -- like a pref files,
to databases with many tables and hundreds of thousand of records.

One of the important for many developers "feature" of Valentina -- its files
can be easy used from any supported environments. For example you can
develop part of your project in MC and other part in C++ or Java.

FUTURE?
Valentina Server
improved SQL
Linux porting
more Object-Oriented features in database

My opinion on this is that such an announcement is *not* spam, that this
kind of information is useful and relevant to this list.

Nor is it all that important that every *single* post that goes to this list
be exactly on topic: the vast majority are, and in general I think its
helpful to have a relaxed policy - people use this list as a general
development resource.  For example, asking questions about monitor
resolutions and modem speeds are not *precisely* related to MetaCard, but
are so useful and close to the subject that I wouldn't think for a moment to
try to interfere with them.

Finally, as a general point, I think the best place to protest about spam,
or other unwanted posts of any description, is my mail box - rather than
this list...

Regards,

Kevin
