[News] Servoy 4.0 Public Pre-release available
Hey, everyone can now download and check out Servoy 4! The download is here:
http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=10397
Top 10 new features:
1) Servoy Developer is now based on Eclipse the world's most-used IDE
2) Form Inheritance allows you to re-use forms and override methods rather than having to duplicate forms with similar functionality
3) Form Variables allow you to define variables in the context of a form - rather than having to define multiple application-wide "global" variables - reducing clutter and streamlining development efforts
4) Live client debugging for both Smart Client (client/server) and Web Client (browser-based) solutions - giving you unprecedented abilities in debugging applications
5) Enhanced scripting environment with new auto-complete functionality, user-defined code coloring, conditional/persistent breakpoints and in-line XML support
6) New menubar plug-in - you can now control all the menus in Servoy, create your own new contextual menus, window menus and your own toolbars to solutions
7) New JasperReports plug-in that allows seamless integration with JasperReports - even in multi-tenant SaaS applications
8) Design broadcasting will update the Smart Client and Web Client live as changes are made to the application - avoiding the need to relaunch Smart Client or "refresh" page in the Web Client
9) You can now edit multiple objects at a time (forms, methods, value lists, table definitions, etc.)
10) Built-in Team support for multiple Servoy repositories as well as CVS and Subversion which allow multiple developers in disparate locations the ability to check in/out objects, create multiple versions, and view the differences between versions

I would be interested in hearing from developers that have an interest in the Jasper Reports interface and issues with version 4.x

At the VUG next week (May 21), Scott will be covering the Jasper Reports plugin. Looking forward to that myself.
