Integrated Foundation Classes (2026 R2) Production Released!
"THE" Framework for PowerBuilder / PowerServer 2025 !
(New Framework version 2026.2.0.475 - May 28, 2026)
STD are also very excited as this release represents another significant enhancement milestone to the Integrated framework
that really further exemplifies the power of the Appeon PowerBuilder 2025 GA development environment! The updated framework combined with the
current PowerBuilder products for building Native Client, PowerClient and/or PowerServer applications, 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!
For a summary of the previous framework version's new & revised
features for 2025/2026, please follow these links to 2025R2, 2025R3 & 2026R1 respectively. The STD Integrated
framework has now had 3 releases in 2025 so that it stays
leading edge and feature rich! STD also has more features already ready for
the Integrated framework for 2026 R2 release to match the planned Appeon PB 2025 R2 release coming soon - so stay tuned!
