What's New


New Features

The bulk of the work done for Amzi! 5.0 has been in reworking the underlying structure of the system to better support our source code customers and to make porting and support on multiple platforms easier. As such, Amzi! 5.0 provides a better base for ongoing development that spans multiple platforms.

With Amzi! 5.0 we distinguish between the 'core' Amzi! + Logic Server system and the various Logic Server extensions offered with the product. The core is included for all platforms.

The extensions, as they always have been, are all open source, and are supported to various degrees on the different platforms. We welcome any and all contributions to the extensions portion of the system.

The core system includes:

Extensions are built on the core and include:

Changes

Initialization files are now called configuration files and have .cfg (instead of .ini) extension.

Beta Test Distribuions

The 5.0 beta is being distributed for Windows, Linux and Solaris. If you are interested in the HP/UX version let us know. It is available.

The 5.0 beta distributions completely support the Amzi! 'core' system, as described above. The documentation is mostly at the 5.0 level. The extensions included by platform are documented in Platform Status.

If you would like to use the beta release, but it is missing an extension you would like to use, such as VB or Delphi support, let us know and we'll see what we can do to make it available sooner rather than later.

Licensing

This code can be downloaded under the Amzi! Personal license, which allows for free non-commercial use. Professional licenses, allowing commercial use, are available for the same price schedule as release 4.x. Professional license subscribers can download and use the 5.0 beta under the terms of their current license agreement.

Support

Support is by e-mail sent to support@amzi.com. Professional license holders get priority support and should include their 4.1 license number in the e-mail. We do not guarantee support for other users, but will try our best to be responsive.
