When v3.0 is released, will it require 'translating' existing v2.5+ programming, or a reinstallation of a whole new program? How much of a revamping is it really? I have a few Sesame projects I want to tackle in the new few months, and a lot of these v3.0 features would make them a lot easier to implement. If the feature-freeze were implemented tomorrow, how long before we could get our mitts on it? A month? Three months? Six? Just a ballpark estimate.

Sesame3 does require an automatic translation from Sesame2. This is because Sesame3 also supports 64 bit. But, the SBasic is fully back-compatible and does not need to change at all (unless you want to). The translation from 2 to 3, does not require any human intervention or decisions.

If we feature lock today, it will be at least a couple of months to test, fix, and document. Jessica is already plowing through the user manual and making great progress. But there are screen shots, the programming manual, web pages, online docs, packaging, promotion, and etc. that have to be taken care of.

All sorts of ducks must be aligned.

WOW! You all are amazing!

If you can enable hyperlinks in the chat client to a webpage and more importantly, to a sesame record, it would be amazing!

CAN'T WAIT FOR Sesame3!

Great!!! Now pleeeease do something so, we get to use them ASAP, alfa, beta.... whatever.  Can't wait to use them!!!

Well, I have been fortunate enough to see the mind blowing Sesame 3 and can tell you it makes the greatest program even better.

One of the most intriguing things about it to me, is that it seems to be 2 new versions in 1.

In one way the Lanticans made  it easier for newbie's and non sophisticated  users  (like me) to get going quickly and get very powerful features into our applications, on the other end they gave power users and people who are professional computer people more powerful tools and features that will allow a developer to achieve just about anything they could desire.

I know everyone on this forum has read and seen the examples that Erika and Mark have told us about and posted examples of, so you already  know what features to expect .  The thing is in Sesame 3 the passion you see daily in the entire Lantica team whether it's when talking about a new feature or Ray solving one of our problems shows up clearly in the software.

Sesame 3 does not feel like a product developed by some really smart people because it's their job, it feels like a really fine piece of art created and crafted by people with a passion and love for what they are doing and a desire to give us users the best possible product and tools for us to use.

I for one cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and effort and believe everyone will love what they have done with the new version.  It is worth the wait.

that is so cool.  I'll definitely be taking advantage of that.  You guys really do rock.

Sesame 3- Breaking News
You can now use Chat (and other methods) to send another user a clickable that takes them directly to the record or report that you want them to see without anyone having to write SBasic.
