PPL 1.60 (the next version of our programming language) is going to be released for FREE. Yes, the Pro version, you get everything for FREE.

We are going to release PPL 1.60 in the next few days.

That’s right, our support for PPL 1.x is not over. We are actively updating it as work progresses on version 2.0. Version 1.60 will include the most-needed speed boost that users have wanted. We have optimized the bytecode compiler once more, making the code cleaner and faster.

There is an IMPORTANT news about 1.60 that we cannot announce just yet but it will certainly make a lot of you very very happy…

Here we go, the future is here, well almost anyway…

This post will detail some of the new paths that the PPL product will take very soon.

Starting with 1.53, the protection in the PIDE will be much simpler than before. There used to be some very complicated copy protection but unfortunately it caused more problems than expected.

Starting with 1.60 (which is the next release after 1.53 and the last 1.x release) will be very different. The compiler/interpreter (PPL.EXE) will be entirely free. You won’t be able to generate executable files or change file’s icons directly from the pocket pc anymore. The generation of executable files will only be possible from the PIDE program on the desktop. The editor and visual form builder PPL programs will be maintained by the community and not be officially supported by ArianeSoft anymore.

The same will still be true with version 2.0. The compiler/interpreter will remain free. The PIDE will be able to compress your executables on the fly.
