Today we have released an installer (for our FOX subscribers) for XSharp Cahors 2.19, which contains some fixes for problems reported with X# 2.18, and some new features.
The most prominent new language feature is the new support for tuples. You can read about the tuple syntax here.
Tuples are a value type that allow you to return more than one value from a function / method.
Unlike Tuple<T1,T2>, this is a value type, not a reference type.
The "What's New" document, describing all changes, can be found here:

There will be NO public build 2.19.
Guys,
thx for the update. In the what's new i read:
"We have added additional documentation to the X# Programming guide about several subjects."
Well, that's great. But how do you think we will find this, whatever it is? Running a diff against the old and new version of the help files?
Is there any chance to sort help by date descending?
Karl (and anybody else),
Is there any particular feature of the language that you'd like documentation added? Just to prioritize items..
Chris,
i'd like to get a hands on how to use/test the upcoming sqlrdd and xgui classes. Especially from the viewpoint of "small business" case - i.e., i have no need for maximum optimized transactions or hundreds of concurrent users. What i dream of is an extended DBServer rdd, which comfortably(!) allows defining a set of tables and their relations, which may then simply be bound to a form and gives me direct access to all field/accesses the DBS holds.
Karl,
For the new SDK classes, you just need to replace the references to VO*.dll files, with the respective named XSharp.VO* files. About the SQLRDD, that's a new things that's not available yet, but it will be an RDD, not a DBServer extension. Having said that, nothing stops us for doing DBServer extensions, too...
The new chapters are in the X# Programming guide. Not just the new topic about Tuples, but also about Classes & Structures, Namespaces etc.
More will follow.
I'll see if we can add a list of changed topics in a future build.

Robert,
would be great, if you found a way to make any new/corrected parts of the help easily availble. You guys invest time and brain to write helpful things for us, and we don't read them, as there is no easy way to find the items. As i wrote, a sort by "date descending" would definitely help...
