Hi VFPers,
Just announced on the X# webpage, work on the VFP repos will start in earnest once this build is released. WITH, TEXT...ENDTEXT, USING etc. already part of the in progress tasks of the next compiler.
ANNOUNCEMENT - Created: 06 June 2019
Just a quick message about our progress in the RDD system and other areas of the product.
The DBFCDX RDD is now working, and we have also added a DBFVFP RDD that allows you to read and update Visual Foxpro DBF files. DBFVFP is not completely ready yet (for example AutoIncrement fields are not automatically updated) but complete enough to allow to read VFP tables. We support Binary and Nullable fields, and new datatypes such as Currency, DateTime, Double and more.
Further we made some changes to the compiler. We have started work on the FoxPro dialect and we now suppress including the Vulcan Header files if you are having a reference to SDKDEFINES.DLL or the relevant X# SDK files. This should make compile speed somewhat faster. Of course it is better to remove the #includes when you don't need them anymore.
We expect that we can publish a new build (for our FOX subscribers only) by the end of next week.
We expect to release the complete runtime early July.
And don't forget the special "Spring" discount of 25% for new FOX subscribers.
