Dear FrontBase Friends,
Happy Holidays!
Product News - New Version of FrontBase is Now Available
The new version of FrontBase (version 2.19) is now available from our website http://www.frontbase.com. Version 2.19 is primarily a maintenance release, but includes also a few important enhancements, which may be of interest to you.
The enhancements are:
- The backup format has been enhanced to include checksums and a tool for checking the contents of a backup file, FBListContent, which is located in the FrontBase/bin directory, which invokes the full path name of the backup file.
- The FrontBase EOF Adaptor now supports Apple’s event logging, a valuable tool for performance tuning of WebObjects 4.5 applications.
- New protection of the FrontBase database file. The default protection of the FrontBase database files (.fb files) are 0600, read and write by the owner only.
- The FBManager app replaces and enhances FBDatabaseManager and the FBDatabaseEditor.
- The object file FBCAccess.o has been replaced with a proper object library found in <installation directory>/lib/libFBCAccess.a.
- The memory management has been improved to avoid fragmentation of the RAM for long living database servers handling large databases.
- And, finally, the sql92 command line tool is now included in the Windows NT version.
