REALbasic 2007 Release 4 includes the following new features:
Ubuntu Support: Ubuntu version 6.06 and later is now officially
supported. REALbasic 2007 Release 4 is now released as a deb package
for easy installation on Ubuntu.
Faster ODBC: The ODBC plug-in has been optimized to provide
significantly faster performance.
Faster Database Access: The REALbasic database API is now
significantly faster when iterating through a recordset using the
Field function. When combined with the new ODBC plug-in, customers
have reported a 20x speed improvement in the performance of some
database operations.
Debugger Improvements: Debugger console applications have been
enhanced by the addition of properties that simulate command line
arguments. The debug application location may now be set by the
developer.
Delegates: New delegate datatype provides an abstract representation
of a method, allowing variable implementation of a specific
invocation.
"REALbasic has always had strong support for cross-platform
connectivity," stated Jonathan Monroe, Managing Partner for Actual
Technologies. "With the latest optimizations for ODBC, REALbasic
applications now rival Visual Basic counterparts for fast data
access."
"I have been testing the faster ODBC Plugin as I have been porting my
database application from Visual Basic to REALbasic," stated Frederick
Roller of F.W. Roller & Associates. "I am pleased to report that with
the faster ODBC Plugin provided in REALbasic 2007 Release 4, my test
code now runs 23 times faster than it did before. These updates make
me confident in my decision to use REALbasic as my development
platform."
