We are pleased to announce the release of our dbExpress drivers for Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and InterBase.
The release features our main headliner: support for RAD Studio 12 Athens. Why it matters: there is a multitude of changes purposed for improving the general quality of life of the Delphi end-users, such as:
- Multiline string literals
- New JSON data mapping wizard
- Visual Assist IDE integration
- C++ code navigation and rename refactoring
- Higher performance and quality thanks to Skia graphics support in FireMonkey
- And more!
