4D UK, manufacturers of the award-winning 4D Product Line, today announced the release of a major new version of 4D, v2004.

4D v2004 comes with a new streamlined Design environment, new deployment features that lower its cost of ownership even further, enhanced Web serving capabilities, new XML and Web services technologies and much more.

4D v2004 has been radically designed to take advantage of new exciting Windows XP and Macintosh Panther technologies. Boasting a completely redesigned interface, 4D developers can now build truly native, beautiful applications for both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X.

"4D v2004 is our best release ever," said Laurent Ribardi¼re, Chairman and Founder of 4D SA. "More than 100 new features, including new interface objects, revolutionary new deployment technologies and dramatically improved performance ensure that 4D developers all over the world can quickly create elegant, robust applications."

New Design Features, XML-related Technologies and More

The 4D v2004 Design environment has a completely new look and feel for increased developer productivity. A new Form Editor ensures that developers can create beautiful applications in less time than ever. Many new interface objects such as MS Office buttons, new window types, a List Box and improved subforms allow developers to create modern efficient applications.

From a company committed to technology leadership, 4D v2004 continues its tradition of supporting industry standards with new Web services technology, the addition of XML streaming generation, XSLT and more. 4D developers can utilise these latest technologies to integrate their solutions with applications such as Microsoft Office 2003 (Windows) and Microsoft Office 2004 (Mac OS X).

4D v2004 has several end-user features that complement the major new features for developers. User modifiable forms enable end users to customise forms even in compiled applications to suit their needs. Automatic application distribution and new automatic backup and restore features add to the other outstanding features in this revolutionary new release.
