Dear Xbase++ community,

As of today, 2005-10-21, the release candidate #1
(RC-1) of Xbase++ 1.90 is available for download.
Whereas past release candidates were made
available only to a limited number of beta
testers, this time we encourage all our registered
customer to get a hold of this release candidate!

While having tremendously invested into Xbase++
1.9, Alaska Software not only has expanded the
featureset of Xbase++, but also extended the
platform-support. More details about Xbase++
1.9 can be found here:

Xbase++ 1.9 is now validated against Windows
95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000, Windows XP/SP1/SP2 and
Windows Server 2003, hence does support all of
them. In addition, Xbase++ 1.9 also supports
systems with Hardware DEP (Dynamic Execution
Protection) enabled, nowadays a necessary security
feature in modern platforms against malware and
viruses. Furthermore Windows XP 64Bit constitutes
an integral part of our standard validation
procedure, and is therefore officially backed. On
the network side, we added Samba to the supported
file server systems. The new ActiveX feature of
Xbase++ 1.9 has been validated against the
so-called COM Interop layer of Microsoft .NET,
allowing Xbase++ developers to fully utilize the
.NET framework and its features.
