4D Server 6.7.5 for Mac OS X released

13th September 2001, Wilmslow, UK. 4D UK, publishers of the award-winning 4th Dimension (4D) database development environment and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced the immediate availability of 4D Server 6.7.5 for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.

4D Server is already known as a "zero admin" server because of the limited time and financial resources needed to maintain it. Users of 4D Server 6.7.x can now easily upgrade their database server to 4D Server 6.7.5 and run it automatically on Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.

4D Server 6.7.5 is compatible with current 4D client software on Mac OS 9 and Windows. 4D 6.7.x native Mac OS X client software is currently under development and is expected to ship before the end of the year.

"4D Server users appreciate the advantages of combining the power of 4D Server with the power of Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server," explained Rob Wylie, 4D UK's General Manager. "We are offering this server update free as a demonstration of our commitment to the Macintosh 4D user community. We have also taken the time to ensure our developers can migrate without changing a single line of code."

"With the power of UNIX, Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server deliver unprecedented stability and performance," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "4D Server is an excellent example of innovation on Mac OS X and provides professional Mac database developers with a powerful, scalable solution that takes just minutes to deploy."
