We are excited to announce that we launched a new Omnis Studio release: Omnis Studio 11.1 Rev 37255 is now available for download from our website: www.omnis.net/developers/resources/download/index.jsp

It provides many new features and enhancements and focuses on:

  • Faster and easier development for you
  • More options for an appealing and accessible UI for your users.

New features to speed up your app development

Omnis Studio 11.1 provides some powerful enhancements in the Omnis development environment including:

  • Find and Replace Tool: updated with a new UI and enhanced with several new options, including a new Find Previous option and a new Modify Class option in the context menu.
  • SQL Browser: You can now import CSV or TSV files into a session.
  • Property Manager: You can now enter a calculation to change the value of the Location and Size properties for a group of selected objects.
  • Configuration Editor: Changes and additions to the config.json file made via the Configuration Editor are now saved in a separate userconfig.json file.

The new Studio release also includes new and enhanced Worker Objects:

  • Java Worker: This is a new Worker Object that allows you to invoke methods inside Java modules running on a background thread.
  • AWS Signature Version 4, a new authentication type in the HTTP Worker.
  • JavaScript Worker now supports ES Modules and CommonJS modules.

More power for your app development:

  • Remote Objects: You can now implement common code for both server and client methods.
  • SQL JavaScript Form Wizard: It now includes an option to create or open a database session and create the required schema classes (also available for Window and Report classes).
  • Markdown Object: This is a new control to render Markdown content in a JavaScript Remote Form or in Window classes as an HTML control.

Innovations for building attractive apps with improved usability and a better user experience

Omnis Studio 11.1 makes it even easier to build apps with a beautiful UI for any screen and device. It includes new features and enhancements that will enable you to build attractive, user-friendly apps:

  • Design Guides have been added to Remote Forms and Window classes to make your design and layout easier and more convenient.
  • Vertical Mode Tab Strip: You can arrange tabs in groups with enhanced appearance and behavior for tab groups and headings.
  • OBrowser: Support for content drag and drop has been added.
  • HTML Link: This is a new control to add links to a remote form.

Accessible Apps for Everyone

Digital accessibility means designing a product that can be used by all users – including not only people with physical disabilities, but also users with age-related limitations or temporary impairments (e.g. after sports injuries or accidents). Therefore accessibility in your applications is not a ‘nice to have’ but an important sales option and competitive advantage. And in large enterprises and public authorities it is simply a Must.

For several years Omnis Studio has supported WCAG 2.0 guidelines to fully support Accessibility. This has now been further enhanced by PDF Accessibility. PDF Universal Accessibility (PDF/UA) is supported to make it easy for you to create universally accessible PDF documents.

Upgrade to Omnis Studio 11.1 Today

Omnis Studio 11.1 Rev 37255 is now available for download from our website. Here’s the link again: www.omnis.net/developers/resources/download/index.jsp

Omnis Studio 11.1 requires new serial numbers. All customers currently supported under the ODPP or RMA can update to Studio 11.1 free of charge, and you should receive serial numbers and the latest downloads through the usual channels. Customers using Studio Now can use existing serial numbers and can download this latest revision from inside the Studio Browser.

We are excited to announce that a new Omnis Studio 11 Patch Release – Revision 36251 – is available, and it provides you with important bug fixes and also several feature enhancements augmenting your app development even further. Among the fixes and enhancements are the following:

  • Window Components: Screen Report Fields
    The $print() method has been enhanced allowing you to print from a Screen Report field to a PDF file.
  • JavaScript Components: JS Data Grid Custom Picklists
    A new client-executed method $getpicklist() has been added to the Data grid control to allow picklist columns to be specified per row.
  • JavaScript Remote Forms: Using a Promise with Client Commands
    Various “message” type client commands now return a JavaScript promise when the methods are executed on the client.
  • The Omnis Environment: Spell Checking
    Words can now be added or removed from the custom dictionary when using spell checking for window fields in end user apps, and when using the Code Editor during development.
  • Save Window Setup and Omnis Preferences
    The position information saved for various screens in the IDE has been moved from omnis.cfg to a new file called positions.cfg.
  • Debugging Methods: Method Stack Limit
    A new item ‘stackLimit’ has been added to the “default” section of the Omnis configuration file (config.json) that allows you to set the limit on the number of methods allowed on the method stack.
  • OW3 Worker Objects: Hash Worker Object
    The $initverifysignature() method has been added to the Hash Worker Object to allow you to verify the RSA signature from $initsignature
  • Functions: FileOps Workers
    Three new Worker Objects have been added to the FileOps external component to allow you to Copy, Move or Delete files asynchronously if required – in essence they work the same as their equivalent FileOps functions that can operate on a separate thread.

Please see the Whatsnew11.pdf accompanying the patch release for full details about the enhancements, and the Readme.txt file for details of bug fixes in rev 36251.

Upgrade Now and Unleash the Full Potential of Omnis Studio 11!

The new revision 36251 of Omnis Studio 11 is a free patch release and available to download from the Omnis website: www.omnis.net/developers/resources/download/index.jsp

We’ve got some electrifying news to supercharge your development experience – introducing Omnis Studio Now!

What is Omnis Studio Now?

With Omnis Studio Now you can download the most recent revisions of Omnis Studio at any time rather than having to wait for general releases. So you can make use of new features and bug fixes earlier than being outside the program.

Picture this: Brand new features and enhancements will continuously become available for you – no waiting for general releases, no twiddling thumbs. With Omnis Studio Now, you’re the first to feast on the freshest revisions of Omnis Studio. It’s like getting VIP access to the code party! But that’s not all – our new service ensures you’re armed with the latest bug fixes, making your coding journey smoother than ever.

And here’s the cherry on top – zero extra cost! That’s right, Omnis Studio Now is our gift to you, bundled up with the Omnis Developer Program (ODPP) and Runtime Maintenance Service (RMA). We believe in giving you more bang for your buck without actually asking for more bucks!

How can you make use of Omnis Studio Now?

Now, let’s talk membership. To join the Studio Now service, you have to be in the club – Omnis Developer Partner Program (ODPP), that is – and you need to put your client licenses on Runtime Maintenance (RMA) if you haven’t done so already. It’s like having a backstage pass to the coolest coding environment!

What is Runtime Maintenance and how does it work?

The Omnis Studio Runtime Maintenance (RMA) is your key to an effortlessly streamlined, always-up-to-date environment for your Omnis applications. These are your RMA benefits in detail:

  • Update when it fits into your release cycle 
    Timing is everything. With RMA, you’re the maestro of your release orchestra. Update when it suits your rhythm, ensuring a smooth transition without missing a beat in your development process.
  • Stay always up-to-date and one step ahead of your competition
    In the fast-paced world of software development, staying ahead is not a luxury – it’s a must. RMA ensures you’re always up-to-date, giving you that competitive edge that makes all the difference.
  • Simply include the RMA costs in your maintenance charges to your clients 
    Billing shouldn’t be a headache. Seamlessly include the RMA costs in your maintenance charges to clients. It’s transparent, straightforward, and keeps everyone on the same page.
  • No need to explain Omnis technology and release information to your customers
    Why burden your customers with tech jargon? With RMA you don’t need to explain why they have to pay for an Omnis Studio client license upgrade while they just want to work with your application.
  • Migrate all customers at once as there are no extra costs
    Say goodbye to the headache and costs of managing multiple releases. RMA cuts costs and reduces your workload by consolidating support efforts. It’s efficient and cost-effective.
    As you don’t have to ask your clients for extra expenses, RMA lets you bring all your customers to the latest version simultaneously, without burning a hole in your pocket. It’s not just an update – it’s migration made easy.
  • Calculate and budget with a fixed RMA service amount each year 
    No surprises: with RMA, budgeting becomes a breeze. Calculate and plan with a fixed RMA service amount each year, giving you financial predictability and peace of mind.

And here is how RMA works: RMA is an exclusive benefit for our ODPP customers. If you put your deployment licenses on RMA (which is possible from Studio version 10.x onwards) you commit for a minimum term of three years, i.e. for our approx. major release cycle. After the initial period RMA will renew always for another 12 months period.

And in case you haven’t upgraded to our latest release Studio 11.0 by now, now is the perfect time to do so by purchasing RMA.

The RMA price is 20% of your individual license purchase price (i.e. inclusive of ODPP and, if applicable, volume discount) per year and RMA costs can be paid either annually or per quarter. Embrace it, and let the future begin!

Conclusion – don’t wait any longer

Omnis Studio Now is our way of saying thank you for being part of the family. If you have any questions or need help to calculate how you could best implement RMA, please contact your Omnis sales team: www.omnis.net/contact/

In a nutshell, Omnis Studio Now is not just a service; it’s a ticket to the fast lane of development. So why wait when you can code at the speed of NOW?

Upgrade your coding experience, unlock new possibilities, and stay ahead of the curve with Omnis Studio Now! Happy coding!

We are delighted to announce that the Omnis Studio 10.2 Patch Release – Revision 32066 – is available. It adds support for macOS Sonoma, further improves the security of deployed libraries, and provides you with a few smaller enhancements in the JavaScript components plus several bug fixes.

Valuable Feature Enhancements

Among the new features and enhancements in Revision 32066 are the following:

  • macOS Sonoma Support
    Omnis Studio 10.22 now fully supports macOS Sonoma, ensuring that you can seamlessly run your Omnis applications on the latest Apple operating system.
  • Class Locking and Library Conversion
    In order to enhance the integrity and security of deployed Omnis Studio libraries, the mechanism used to lock classes in a private library has changed in Omnis Studio 10.22 Revision 32066. Consequently, all libraries opened in Omnis Studio 10.22 revision 32066 will require conversion, including libraries created with all prior revisions of Omnis Studio 10.22 – the library conversion process is irreversible; therefore you should make a secure backup of all libraries before opening them in Omnis Studio 10.22 Revision 32066.
  • JavaScript Components
    You can now long press on the Previous or Next arrow buttons on a List pager to jump to the start or end of the list pages.
    In addition, you can now specify the row when setting the $nexttabobject property to a Complex Grid child.
  • Functions
    The function sys(256) has been added to return the maximum server license count, and sys(257) to return the current number of server licenses in use.
  • SMTP Worker Object
    A new property $allowpathinuri has been added to the SMTP Worker object to allow a path in the URI.

Bug Fixes

Our team has been hard at work addressing your feedback and diligently fixing bugs to ensure a smooth and seamless experience with Omnis Studio. Please see the Readme.txt file accompanying the release for details of bug fixes in this release.

We recently released the latest patch release for Omnis Studio 11 – Rev 35659. This update brings several exciting enhancements and bug fixes, with the most notable additions being support for macOS Sonoma and enhanced security for your deployed libraries. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect from this new patch release:

macOS Sonoma Support

Omnis Studio 11 now fully supports macOS Sonoma, ensuring that you can seamlessly run your Omnis applications on the latest Apple operating system.

Class Locking and Library Conversion

In order to enhance the integrity and security of deployed Omnis Studio libraries, the mechanism used to lock classes in a private library has changed in Omnis Studio 11 Revision 35659. Consequently, all libraries opened in Omnis Studio 11 revision 35659 will require conversion, including libraries created with all prior revisions of Omnis Studio 11 – the library conversion process is irreversible; therefore you should make a secure backup of all libraries before opening them in Omnis Studio 11 Revision 35659.

Feature Enhancements

The following enhancements have been added to revision 35659 of Omnis Studio 11 enhancing the JavaScript and Window components:

  • JavaScript Components
    All JS Camera events now have an additional pError param which reports any possible errors.
    Two new properties $choosefilesbuttontextpos and $choosefilesiconid have been added to the JS File component to allow more control over how the UI is displayed in Upload mode of the control.
    A new property $reordermode has been added to the JS Native List component to allow end users to reorder rows within the list.
  • Window Components
    A new event evColumnDividerMoved has been added to the Complex Grid control to report when a grid divider has been dragged.
    The $splitbuttonbars property has been added to Toolbar classes to allow you to split radio button groups into individual button items.
    Support for the ‘use-mock-keychain’ CEF switch has been added to the “obrowser” section of the Omnis Configuration file (config.json) to manage the Chromium Safe Storage Prompt shown when using oBrowser on macOS.
  • Omnis Environment
    A new item called monitorDockKeyEventsInfoPrompt has been added to the “macOS” section of the Configuration file (config.json) to manage the Keystroke Receiving Prompt on macOS.
  • OW3 Worker Objects
    The $oauth2state property has been added to the OAUTH2 Worker Object to allow you to append custom content to the state query string parameter.
    Also a new property $allowpathinuri has been added to the SMTP Worker Object to allow a path in the URI.
  • Functions
    We added a new parameter wCenterImg to the OIMAGE.$makeqrcode function to allow you to add an icon image to the center of the generated QR code.
    A new parameter asnumber has been added to the rnd() function to force Omnis to return a Number, rather than a Character value.
    You can now return a reference to the field under the mouse in a Complex grid using a new parameter tablefield with the mouseover() function.
    The $filepath property has been added to the FileOps object to allow you to obtain a path to the file associated with the object.
  • Online Documentation
    All the enhancements in Revision 35659 of Omnis Studio (and the previous revision 35439) are highlighted in yellow in the online documentation to show you what has been added.

See the ‘What’s New’ guide (PDF) accompanying this release for more information about any of these new features.

Attracting new developers with free Community Edition and the new CommunityPro Edition

In autumn last year we introduced the free Community Edition developer license which has been attracting a large number of developers to test and see how fast you can develop business apps with Omnis Studio. Now we are providing flexible licensing and pricing that allows developers to start free and scale as they grow:

  • We have introduced a new developer license called CommunityPro Edition. Like the free Community Edition it enables developers to build web and mobile apps with a PostgreSQL backend. It is the next step for developers who successfully created their first Omnis app(s) with the free Community Edition and deployed them to five users free of charge.
    With a CommunityPro Edition you can purchase as many client licenses as you want when your user base grows. This developer edition is available as a monthly subscription which includes updates and upgrades and basic support.
  • Another element of flexibility is the introduction of license subscription for the Professional Edition as an alternative option to the lifetime license. Just like with the Professional Edition lifetime license you can build desktop, web and mobile apps, make use the VCS and all DAMs to almost any database. You can chose between monthly payments and annual payments (with a discount of 20%) and there is no minimum term. Updates and upgrades and basic support (email only) are included.

Learn more about these plans and compare details at: omnis.net/store

Omnis Client License subscription

Equally important, we are now providing subscription models for client licenses – for runtimes, web and mobile licenses. It is our target to support all your different business models and deployment options. So for each of your existing or new projects and for each of your clients you can now choose between (monthly or annual) subscription or lifetime licenses. As explained above for the developer licenses, client license subscriptions include updates and upgrades (so no additional Runtime Maintenance Service purchase is required) and there is no minimum term.

These different licensing options both for developer and for client licenses allow developers and companies considerably more flexibility to decide the best option for each project and business case.

New Omnis Online Store

And we launched a new Omnis Online Store: omnis.net/store. Here, you can compare subscription plans, register for the free Community Edition, or purchase other Omnis Studio developer licenses. This is also the portal to access additional tech support and a comprehensive range of professional services including the Omnis Developer Partner Program (ODPP).

What does this mean for you as a long-term Omnis customer?

Because of the introduction of subscription models, we are also launching a new price list so everyone can choose between purchasing a perpetual license or monthly/annual subscriptions. These new subscription options can also be applied to existing developer and client licenses.

Nevertheless, your existing licensing models will be grandfathered. So there will be no need for changes to your purchase and retail prices.

However, if you want to experience the new licensing options and subscription prices, or wish to take advantage of some of these new options, you can of course switch to include them at any time. Please talk to us to determine the best-fit solution for your current requirements. We will be more than happy to provide you with a custom quote that matches your exact needs.

We wish you lots of fun and success with Omnis Studio 11!

You can create an app on one platform, and deploy it to any other, without modifying the code or recompiling the code – the project library you create in Omnis Studio can be deployed to all iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as Windows and macOS desktops, making it easier to create and maintain.

The Community Edition is free, forever

You can start straight away with the Omnis Studio Community Edition by downloading it now, for free. And when you have created your app, and you’re ready to deploy it to end users, you can use the free 5 user license – there really are no hidden fees, no credit card required, and no time limits – it’s yours to use for free for the lifetime of your app. So, it’s a great choice for start-ups and for developers who want to develop their first projects with Omnis Studio or work on an app for a small group of users. If your app is successful and you want to deploy it to a larger number of users, you can upgrade to the Omnis Studio Professional Edition, reusing your project library files without change.
