New Release & Commitment

Happy New Year to all! I know it’s rather late to wish now but I’ve always been a late bloomer, and it’s better late than never ;)
Well, I’m back from a good long holiday, and ready to resume work and continue to develop FREE Covalentia. In fact, I’ve already uploaded Covalentia Version 2.1 as promised earlier. This release includes:
  • PostgreSQL 8.1 database support
  • Database tables and stored procedures optimizations
  • Codes optimization
  • ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Release Candidate
  • New look for Sub-Tabs using AJAX DropDownList
  • Relocations of folders, files and images
  • Bug-fixing of globalization issue
  • Better documentations for codes, tooltips and help (partial - this is a lot of work)

At the moment, I’m working on the next release (Version 3) which will contain a lot of major changes, especially in the Data Access and Business Object Layers. It will also include other new features such as .NET Framework 3.0, ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 (if they decide to release it soon enough), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Oracle database support and more. If you are one of the users who frequently download Covalentia (one of the 300 or more people registered at the Covalentia Community Portal) and you want to contribute some ideas on how the future Covalentia should be or look like, feel free to e-mail me at support@covalent-tech.com.
