Greetings!
The newest version of BBx is here!
BASIS International Ltd. announces the 12.0 release of BBj® and Barista® Application Framework. Get 12.0 now from the new, cleaner and leaner BBj-powered BUI download page!
BBj and Java are now faster than ever! BASIS refactored components of the product with an eye to maximizing performance and extended their effort to the database utilities. As Stephan Knobloch, a long-time and very active BBj developer, reports -
"I just tested the improved table analysis in Enterprise Manager against our nastiest table. It took 36 or more hours before and now is done in 30 minutes (30 keys, 1.8 million records). Very good job!"
BBj 12.0 now runs on the latest Java 1.7.xx that provides a significant boost in performance in addition to the enhancements provided by the code optimizations achieved between BBj versions 11.0 and 12.0. CUI, GUI, and BUI programs all benefit from the synergism of these dual performance enhancements. As Java 1.6 approaches EOL Q4 2012, it is comforting to have such an enhanced platform to replace it.
