4D work involves more and more web development. HTML 5 is reaching out fast. Josh Duck has a very nice overview about the HTML 5 elements:
AreaList Pro 8.5 released
e-Node announces AreaList Pro version 8.5.
Published by e-Node worldwide.
Download: http://www.e-node.net/alp
This release fixes several bugs and brings new features.
System requirements
AreaList Pro 8.5 requires 4D v2004 or higher (including 4D v11 SQL and 4D v12).
Fixed bugs
- – Improved stability and fixed scrollbar issues when the area is placed into a composite type window.
- Better callback execution when run from a component.
- Improved redraw and updates when several windows are simultaneously open with AreaList Pro areas.
New features
- -New command AL_GetLastEvent replaces the deprecated ALProEvt variable (existing projects using this variable will still work, but AL_GetLastEvent should be used instead in new projects or in case of issues with ALProEvt). In addition, AL_GetLastEvent offers a better control of event management compared to ALProEvt, as it allows tracking of the last event in each AreaList Pro area.
- AL_Register can now be called several times with different license keys. Registration will succeed if one or more keys are valid.
- The return of the Advanced Properties dialog, updated to include new v8.x features and v11 / v12 compatible.
- AL_UpdateArrays and AL_UpdateFields can now use the recalculate options (-2 and 2) in event callback methods.
AreaList Pro 8.5 is a free upgrade from v8.3 and a paid upgrade from all v8.x previous versions. (Ed.: Ohh… we like this!!)
8.3 license keys will work with version 8.5.

4D v12.1 Hotfix 3 verfĂĽgbar
4D kĂĽndigt die VerfĂĽgbarkeit von 4D v12.1 Hotfix 3 an.
Hotfix 3 erscheint frĂĽher als geplant, um einen Bug zu korrigieren, der in 4D v12.1 Hotfix 2 aufgetreten ist. AuĂźerdem wurden einige Fehler behoben.
Dies ist, wie bei allen Hotfixes, ein Zwischen-Release, das nur auf behobene Fehler getestet wurde. 4D Partner können die komplette Liste der Bugfixes sowie das Hotfix laden unter 4D Forums.
Hotfixes sind nur fĂĽr Gold und Silver Partner verfĂĽgbar. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter dem 4D Partner Programm.
(Anmerkung Red: Wir hätten ja auch gerne mal die Liste der Bugfixes gezeigt, das hat sich nämlich schon gelohnt, aber…)
Nach dem Hotfix ist vor dem Hotfix
Es ist beim programmieren wie beim Software schreiben – manchmal gibt es Features, die keiner gewollt hat. So beim letzten Hotfix (v12.1.HF2). Nix dramatisches, aber es stört das ästhetische Empfinden. Also zurĂĽck in die Kiste damit und warten auf den Hotfix 3.
Es ist ja ohnehin Wochenende, mal so richtig ausspannen im Februar-Neuschnee!
