  • Softvelocity and Clarion current status question

    From Doug Hill@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 2 06:57:19 2023
    I have a really old clarion app that continues to work (Clarion 6 I think)
    So the owners are wondering if bringing it up to Clarion 11 is worth the cost and effort. I notice Clarion 11 was last updated 2 years ago and the Softvelocity web site doesn't look updated since. Hence the question is Clarion dead as a current
    development tool?

    Doug,
    There's not many ppl checking c.l.c outside of the SV news server, you
    might get a better answer on clarionhub.com

    FWIW I never upgraded past 6.3 but then I've also never written a report
    or wrote code in the last 20 years that's used a dictionary so I know
    I'm in the minority

    HTH,
    Paul

    current major version is now 11, and several sub-versions have been
    released regularly.

    Afaik the version 12 is due to arrive "soon"

    As for that web site ..... don't look at it. It hardly gets an update
    once in a while ...

    I program with Clarion 6.3 but finally convert to Clarion 10 because under Windows 10 the Clarion 6,3 executable aborts some times unexpectedly under Windows 10. The app is quite large (about 1000 procedures).
