JOBORDER 2010 BETA SOFTWARE IS NOW AVAILABLE

June 1, 2010, Homer, NY

JobOrder 2010 is now available in our first beta release. JobOrder 2010 is strongly recommended if you are upgrading to Windows 7 or to Macintosh OS X 10.6.3. JobOrder 2010 is the only version of JobOrder certified for those operating systems.

JobOrder 2010 includes 4D v11 SQL Release 6 Hot fix 2, our programming language, certified for Windows XP SP3 / Vista SP2 / Server 2003 SP2 R2 / Server 2008 SP2 R2 / 7 and Macintosh OS X 10.5.8 (PPC only) and 10.6.3 (Mac Intel only).

4D v11 SQL Release 6 is a dramatic upgrade from 4D 2004.7, the programming language used for JobOrder 2009. For more information about 4D v11 SQL, please visit click here.

JobOrder 2010 beta demo installers and server installers are available from our public ftp site. Please connect as 'Guest'.

JobOrder 2010 has many internal changes, including improvements to both speed and stability. If you have not recently performed any preventative maintenance on your JobOrder data file, please call Customer Support for guidance.

JobOrder 2010 Server will be distributed both for Windows Server 2003 SP2 R2 / Server 2008 SP2 R2 / 7 and Macintosh OS X 10.5.8 (PPC) and 10.6.3 (Mac Intel).
