REALbasic Update
We recently released an update to REALbasic 2009 Release 2. REALbasic 2009 Release 2.1 includes 11 improvements and updated Oracle and ODBC plug-ins. The complete list of improvements and new features in REALbasic 2009 Release 2.1 can be found in the release notes in the product download.

REAL Server Update
REAL Server 2009 Release 1 is now shipping. This release boasts greater scalability, increased performance and 8 new features, including a new architecture, restore points and full-text searching. REAL Server is ideal for developers who need to make a single user application multi-user.

REAL Server's new architecture supports over 10,000 concurrent connections from a single database server. Our tests show that it provides performance comparable to and, in many cases, better than MySQL.

The REAL Server Developer Edition is completely free of charge and enables developers to create an application based on REAL Server without paying any fees until they are ready to deploy their application. REAL Server is available in two editions: a 5 user/connections license for $299 and an unlimited connection license for $599.



To view all of the new features and improvements in REAL Server 2009, view the release notes in the product download section.
