Genexus

Dear Beta testers,

We are proud to announce the release of GeneXus X Evolution 2 RC!

With GeneXus X Evolution 2 RC we take a big step towards the objective outlined by the previous betas: a revolution in Smart Devices development and an evolution in Web development.

Regarding Smart Devices development and the resulting applications: RC eases the learning curve for SD development, adds power and flexibility to UI design, and strengthens the architecture of these apps.

Regarding Web development, pages are generated using HTML5 and CSS3 by default. Fields based on domains like Phone, Email, Address and others are automatically generated using HTML5-specific tags, improving user experience in all supported devices and browsers, and leveraging specific devices' features related to these tags. Also, SEO, security, and performance in general has been improved.

Not only is it fully compatible with GeneXus X Evolution 1 Upgrade 7, but also beats it in all categories: features, bug fixes, performance, and ease of use.

As we also did when releasing the Beta versions, we now want to show you some apps that have been developed in the latest weeks and are publicly available (many more coming!).
