Integrated Foundation Classes (2021R5) Released!
"THE" Framework for Appeon PowerBuilder & PowerServer!
(v2021.5.0.266 - December 17, 2021)
STD are also very excited as this release represents another significant enhancement to the Integrated framework
that really further exemplifies the power of the Appeon PowerBuilder 2021 build 1311
development environment! The updated framework combined with the
current PowerBuilder and/or PowerServer products, positions developers
to take
advantage of today's Agile and DevOps methodologies. Plus it further
enhances a
newer GUI "punch" in your Native and Cloud based Apps without buying
expensive add-on products. Especially, since the framework is free!
