Integrated Foundation Classes (2022R1) Released!
"THE" Framework for Appeon PowerBuilder & PowerServer!
(v2022.1.0.281 - March 7, 2022)
Software Tool & Die Inc (STD) are very pleased to announce that they have just released a
new version of their
Integrated Foundation Class library framework 202
2R1 (build
2022.1.0.281) exclusively for
PowerBuilder 2021 and
PowerServer 2021 (Cloud), and InfoMaker 2021
(build 1506) - with new features, enhancements and upgrades!
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 1506
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!
