Dave Fish started it off by discussing the new features of 12.5 and demoing a few of them.

Sue Dunell then talked about what was going with PowerBuilder, including a lot of the interest/involvement from SAP.



With regard to PB15, the tentative road map showed:

• Web (partial)


• Cloud


• Refactoring support


• Win32 UI enhancements


• .Net Framework updates


• 64 bit deploy - Classic


• OData Support

With regard to a full fledged web solution, she referenced the work that Appeon is doing towards HTML5 and mobile client support.

Dave then demos some 'pre-alpha' work on PB 15. He did mention that there will be a 12.5.1 MR that involves 2 enhancements for the PB.Net version.

• The ability to dynamically load assemblies


• 64 bit compilation support

The PB15 features he supported were:

• MDIDock - a bot of a minomer because its not MDI
