* “ALP 9.0b6.zip” contains the following:
– “all ALP properties.xls” – ALP properties spreadsheet
– “alp 12.4dbase” – a 4D v12 database illustrating and explaining the new ALP v9 API. The plug-in is inside the package.
– “ALP compatibility.txt” – a note about backwards v8.x compatibility
– “ALP constants.txt” – ALP v9 constant list
– “look inside package.txt” – a reminder that the plug-in is inside the “alp 12.4dbase” package

* “ALP 9.0b4.txt”  is the release notes from the unreleased b4 but still valid for b6

* “ALP Examples_b6.zip” contains the Example database as documented in the manual

* “ALP Manual V9 b6.pdf” is the manual in progress

== If you already have reported issues, please retest and report the status : fixed or not ==

DisplayList is now a ALP v9 module and will be discontinued as a separate product. Feel free to test the DL commands with the attached beta if you are already using this plug-in (or not).

Please review the manual and let us know if you think anything is missing or not very well explained.

OEM users are welcome to request their v9 license key.
