Hi,

After the rough start that PPL 2 had, we are now back on track and things are looking pretty good now. There are still issues of course but we are tracking them one by one and fixing them. Here is what you can expect from us in the next few weeks:

• Release new CleverUpdate and PPL 2 today (Friday July 24th)
• Work on the Windows Mobile SDK (fix PCL libraries for WinMo) and release new version (Early next week)
• New component package StringTools (XML, Encryption, Compression, Regular Expr)
• New component package Picture&Sound (JPG, PNG, GIF, MP3, WAV, OGG without game engine)
• New component package CommunicationTools (TCP/IP, FTP, SMTP, BLUETOOTH, SERIAL)
• New component package PhoneAPI (Dialer, etc…)

In today’s release we have a new Installation Guide in PDF format. In today’s release we have also fixed the locking of Swirl, Orion and WinMo special features that were not active, this was due to a keyfile not being created/read properly.

We are working on a Tutorial Guide that will be pretty complete as well (should be finished in about 2 weeks).

Hey all, it has been quite a while since I’ve posted some updates. Don’t worry we are hard at work and we are getting somewhere.

We now have a Batch Operation dialog that allows you to set properties on multiple objects in one click. Same goes for creating a series of objects in one click.

Work on the Orion database engine started again this week. Yes, we’ve worked on it long ago and didn’t have time to retouch it. Now, we are putting polishing and we’ve came up with really cool stuff.

For example, creating a database with multiple tables, is a matter of dragging components to the project manager and select the database object and click ‘Create Database’, this will create the database file and create all the tables according to the fields specification you’ve specified.

Next is our visual query builder module and the report editor. The report editor module has not been worked on at all, so we are not sure yet what we will do, we would really like it to run on the Windows Mobile devices (in preview mode) but if it is too complicated we are going to go with an already made report builder.

So, in to sum up, the database support in PPL 2.0 will be very advanced (still SQLite based for portability and very small) fully object-oriented, create tables visually, create queries visually and create reports visually.

Our goal with PPL 2.0, is to offer a tool that is easy to use but also very powerful.

Work on promotion videos has started and we will be releasing small clips of the cool features you will be able to use in PPL 2.0.

Until next time, enjoy life!
