Synergex Announces Synergy/DE 10.1

Enables Synergy developers to add significant value to their enterprise applications

Sacramento, CA – January 9, 2013 – Synergex International Corp. today announced the release of a new version of their Synergy/DE application development suite. Version 10.1 enables Synergy developers to add new capabilities to their enterprise business applications, and to be more productive while doing so. Synergy/DE 10.1 supports the latest industry technologies–such as Windows 8 and Microsoft .NET—giving Synergy developers opportunities to add significant value to their solutions.

New features in Synergy/DE 10.1 include

• Multi-user Repository. Multiple developers can now update the same repository concurrently.
• Change tracking. Developers can track the changes made to their Synergy DBMS ISAM files and then save and restore snapshots of their data. This powerful feature can be used to implement database replication, “end-of-period processing” (with no interruption), or any other function that makes use of data snapshots.
• Enhancements to HTTP/HTTPS API. New client-side API routines make it easier for developers to write HTTP/HTTPS code (e.g., using strings instead of memory handles) and gives the ability to interact with REST-based web services.
• Windows 8 support. Enables developers to offer Windows 8 support to their users. Includes support for Windows Store application deployment.
• Synergy DBMS enhancements. New Synergy DBMS ISAM revision provides many new features to help developers manage their Synergy DBMS data; includes new key types and performance improvements.
• Synergy .NET enhancements. Synergy .NET gives Synergy developers a path to dramatically advance their applications, giving access to all the resources available to .NET applications. Developers can add a new UI, create Synergy .NET class libraries, integrate with C# assemblies, and much more. With Synergy/DE 10.1, Synergy .NET is better than ever with new features like asynchronous processing (for improved performance) and YIELD (which enables methods to return collections “item by item”).
• Visual Studio 2012 support. Includes support for the latest Visual Studio features, performance improvements, plus support for Windows Store application deployment. Synergex continues to work closely with Microsoft to ensure seamless integration with the latest Visual Studio releases.
• Improvements to the C# to Synergy Code Converter. With v10 support for more C# constructs, developers can make use of even more C# examples when writing new Synergy .NET code, or getting up to speed on developing with Synergy .NET. Also includes a new C# to Synergy solution converter that lets developers convert whole solutions.

“We believe it is important to stay up to date with Synergy versions to allow us to take advantage of the latest features,” states Gordon Ireland, Managing Director at Equiniti ICS, Ltd. “We are particularly excited about Version 10 as the snapshot facility provided by change tracking will allow us 24 x 7 operation without having to stop for backups.  We are also excited about releasing our first Symphony/Synergy.NET extensions to our product set under V10.  Our users were blown away by what can now be achieved.”

Synergy/DE 10.1 delivers on Synergex’ mission of enabling developers to advance their solutions as the software industry evolves. Developers can transform their applications by updating their UIs and adding other new capabilities. “The ability to evolve their proven applications enables Synergex customers to retain the significant investments they’ve made in them over the years,” states Cindy Limburg, Synergy/DE Product Manager. “This latest Synergy/DE release provides new opportunities for our customers to add value to their solutions.”
