Yesterday we experienced major problems with the server hosting neXtep Softwares website. The motherboard of the web server has been switched by our hoster, causing unavailability of the website & svn during almost the whole day.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and are pleased to say that everything is back to normal since yesterday evening.

We are pleased to announce that our release 1.0.7 is now publicly available ! Your neXtep IDE will upgrade automatically the next time you start it.

 

Our development efforts focused on improving the user experience by providing brand new editors for your data model manipulation. Based on the Eclipse Forms UI framework, we built modular editors that will change the way you use the neXtep IDE.

 

Here are a few snapshots of this new release :

Table editor overview tab
 Table editor columns tab
Table editor unique keys tab Table editor foreign keys tab
Table editor index tab Table editor physical properties tab

 

As usual, many other bugfixes have been included in this major releases. We improved the SQL generators for almost all vendors, always supporting more complex use case. We now support multi-column partitioning, multi column function based indexes, and some other advanced options...

 

After stabilization of this release, we will concentrate our efforts on 1.0.8 where our main focus will be to increase the level of support for all vendors. As usual, we need your feedbacks on this new release !

 

Thank you to everyone who contributes to this project !

We are making good progress on the 1.0.7 release, whose major feature will be a complete new design of database entities editors. Taking advantage of the awesome features of the Eclipse Forms UI framework and with a better understanding of user feedbacks, those new editors aim at making database developments with neXtep designer IDE a lot easier.

 

Here is what the table editor overview page will look like in 1.0.7 (draft) :

 

And here is what the column page of the table editor will look like :

 

Our main focus is to improve usability of the database entities editors and represents a huge step forward for the neXtep platform. If you have any suggestion and feedback about possible improvements regarding editors, this is the right moment to post on the forum to let us know how we could make your life simpler.

We are glad to announce the general availability of our SR1 patch release of neXtep 1.0.5. This release provides a series of bugfixes mostly regarding the PostgreSql support :

Thanks for using neXtep.
