First of all, we want to wish everybody the best for this new year.
Then, we would like to inform you about our progress:
We are busy finalizing build 2.19 of X#. This build will fix some issues that were reported and adds some new features.
There are new features in the compiler, VS integration and runtime.
One of the things that we have added, is support for some FoxPro embedded SQL statements, such as CREATE CURSOR, CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE and INSERT.
Other embedded SQL commands will follow in a next build.
We expect to release 2.19 to our beta testers in week 3. Then, when things go as planned, we should be able to release build 2.19 in week 4.
The preliminary what's new document for this release can be found here
During our presentation in Memmingen, we have also announced some other changes.

For everybody.
Designing Windows Forms for .Net 5 and later inside Visual Studio will be difficult,
because of changes that Microsoft made to the Windows Forms Designer
We will also make some breaking changes to the X# runtime in this build. |
We are also planning another X# summit 2024. We have reserved accommodation in the HYPERION Hotel in München (Munich) on October 17-18. More information about this will follow in a few weeks.
Finally, we will move this website to another hosting provider later this month. We hope that this will not cause too many hickups. The website itself will not change, only the location where it is hosted.
