Introduction.

In February 2026, we are organizing our fourth European conference, following successful events in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

With the help from one of our sponsors, we have found a great location in Potsdam, not far from Berlin.

We will present the current state of the X# development and show how to migrate your apps to XSharp. Furthermore, we will also discuss the internals of X# and how you can extend X#. Finally, we will discuss our future plans, and showcase some work in progress. 

This summit is structured to encourage open and facilitated face-to-face discussions and idea-sharing among all attendees. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, with scheduled lunch and snack breaks.

Location. The event will take place at the following hotel: Kongresshotel Potsdam Am Luftschiffhafen 1 D-14471 Potsdam Germany

Agenda.

Dear members of the X# community,

This year we celebrate the 10^th anniversary of X#, which has been very successful in providing a path for a lot of companies and developers to extend the life of their Visual Objects (VO) applications, by transitioning them to the .Net ecosystem. We are very proud that many of you have also developed entirely new applications in X#, some even joining us from other xBase dialects than VO! It has been a success so far, but now we need to think and prepare for the future, together with all of you.

Today, we have released a public installer for XSharp Cahors 2.24.

The "What's New" document, describing all the changes, can be found here:

The public installer can be downloaded here:

This new installer is several Mb bigger than the previous installer, because we have now also included documentation in Chinese!

Please remember: we need your financial support to keep this product alive.

X# 2.24 is the last X# 2 build. From now on, we will be working on X# 3 only, with the focus on supporting the latest .Net versions. Of course, X# 3 will also still support .Net Framework.

More information about what's in X# 3 can be found here: https://www.xsharp.eu/articles/blog/what-s-coming-in-x-3-modern-net-features-and-net-8-compatibility

Today, we have released the installer for the FOX subscriber version of XSharp Cahors 2.24.

SAP has announced several years ago that their product Advantage Database Server (ADS) was "End of Life".
However, through a special "OEM-Distributor" we have been able to buy licenses and sell these to our customers as service.

Unfortunately, SAP has now announced that new licenses will no longer be sold after August 31, 2025.
This means that we will also no longer be able to sell ADS licenses in our webshop.
We will have a few items in stock, but when these are sold, then we will no longer be able to sell licenses to customers.
And these stock items will only be full - new licenses. After August 31 we will no longer be able to sell additional users for existing licenses or license upgrades.

So, if your software depends on ADS licenses, then you should act now and order licenses now:
