![]() ![]() In 19.1, the script called by the JS function is sent to the back of the script queue and will only run when any other running script has finished. This is when the running script goes idle for a little while, typically when paused. In 19.0, the script called by the JS function gets queued up to interrupt any running script at the earliest possible moment. If you are using the new FileMaker.PerformScript() JavaScript function introduced in 19.0, take note of an important change in behavior for that function. The FileMaker.PerformScript() JavaScript Function Keep in mind that feature is not quite production-ready it serves mainly as a peek into where the product is going, and to solicit early feedback from all of us. This YouTube video from Claris shows a nice walkthrough. While initially aimed at making it easier to create compelling User Interfaces, it offers an intriguing glimpse of where the platform’s building parts may be heading. We’ve spent some time with this new technology and will have an in-depth blog post about it soon. Layout Designġ9.1.2 also provides a preview of the future layout design experience. Our Carafe bundles will also serve as an Add-On soon. One quick word of caution: as Add-ons become more readily available from different sources, and given that they can contain any kind of FM schema elements, you will need to scrutinize what it contains to be certain the Add-on cannot do harm to your schema or data. All the add-ons you add to your file will use the new Apex Blue theme, which is also the new default theme for all new files created with 19.1.ĭown the road, we expect a healthy marketplace for Add-Ons, whether those Add-Ons package JavaScript functionality or are simply collections of FileMaker schema objects (layouts, tables, scripts, custom functions, etc.). This knowledge base article provides a solid introduction on how to use Add-ons in your solutions. 19.1.2 comes with nine Add-Ons pre-installed. The concept of Add-Ons was introduced with 19.0 (see our 19.0Įxecutive Summary, for more information), and we believe it will gain traction quickly as the feature matures. So what is new in FileMaker Pro 19.1.2?īesides some important bug fixes outlined in the release notes, this release of Pro is all about the Add-Ons.

As expected, each release from here on will serve as an updater, much like the version revisions that we had between major versions. In the meantime, we have FileMaker Pro 19.1.2. Stay tuned! The New FileMaker Release Model We will have plenty of reading material for you as soon as it is released. We know the brand-new FileMaker Server for Linux will be among those and believe that it will be a major part of the FileMaker ecosphere from the get-go. The announcement made on the Claris Community does indicate we can expect more releases to include Server and Go fairly quickly. (Claris FileMaker Cloud and Claris Connect are on their own schedule.) In the past, each release was for the full platform: Pro, Go, and Server. Two - this new release is just for FileMaker Pro. 19.1.1 doesn’t exist, so don’t go looking for it. Claris followed up on this message in roadmap sessions, so we knew that something was coming around this time.īut two things came as a surprise: one - version number. ![]() At first glance, that seems like an odd version number, doesn’t it?īack in May, Claris released the last of their traditional yearly versions - version 19.0.1.įurther back, in February 2020, Claris announced they would be switching over to a new release cycle that would result in multiple new versions every year. ![]()
