The DataFlex 2025 Beta 1 release is now available for you to test out and preview the new features delivered in this latest build. The Beta 1 build delivers several new capabilities since the Alpha 1 release that you’ll want to check out - see the details below.
When creating tables in the Studio, developers can now automatically add an auto-increment column with a unique index. For SQL databases, the index is marked as a primary key and the column will be marked as an identity column. Embedded databases utilize a `DFLastId` system table, which is included in new workspaces for improved ease of use.
This new runtime class enables the use of regular expressions directly in DataFlex, eliminating the need for third-party dependencies and libraries. Based on the popular PCRE2 (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) regex standard, it provides developers both convenience and application performance improvement with finding, matching, substituting, and extracting - all in one single class.
Web themes now use CSS variables for main colors and some dimensions. This allows for configuration of the themes without changing them, which means less trouble during updates!
Numerous bug fixes and other improvements are also delivered in this latest release. Get a preview of what’s coming by downloading and installing the Beta 1 build of DataFlex 2025 and joining the testing community.
