Next GDC 4.01.07 release - New compatibility plan

Dear customers,

Genero Desktop Client (GDC) 4.01.07 will be delivered in the second half of February 2024, and it comes with a new compatibility plan.

GDC 4.01.07 and Genero compatibility:

   GDC 4.01.07 can run in direct mode (SSH) with FGLGWS 4.01 and FGLGWS 3.21.

   GDC 4.01.07 can run on the UA protocol using FGLGWS 4.01 + GAS 4.01 and FGLGWS 3.21 + GAS 3.21.

   When using FGLGWS 3.21 (direct mode or UA protocol), GDC uses native rendering.

   When using FGLGWS 4.01 and above (direct mode or UA protocol), GDC uses universal rendering.

   The Genero Report Viewer (GRV) 5.00, which is included in the GDC, is compatible with FGLGWS 4.00 and FGLGWS 3.21.

 

Warning:

GDC 3.21 will no longer be supported after this release. We will only fix issues in the latest supported GDC version.



What are the advantages for you?
 
1/ You can update progressively to new versions. If one part of your application works with FGLGWS 3.21 and the second part works with FGLGWS 4.01, you can open a single GDC to handle both parts.

2/The GDC will always be working with the latest QT libraries. What does it mean for you?

• The GDC is working with OpenSSL 3
  
• The GDC is working with the latest QtWebEngine to display your web components and Universal Rendering; the latest QtWebEngine uses Chromium as the backend.
  

Compatibility summarized: Look at the attached image.
