Tailored Customization for Dates and Times
The manipulation of dates and times often requires specific formatting for various representations based on 4D’s internal resources or operating system settings.
While the default formats are usually all you need, there are scenarios in which custom formatting is essential, particularly for different geographical locations or unique requirements. In 4D v20 R4, significant advances have been made to meet this precise need
Non-blocking Printing
With 4D v20 R4, we significantly improved the management of print jobs inside 4D. 4D can now run multiple print jobs in parallel, significantly increasing your applications’ reactivity while facilitating the management of concurrent print jobs.
Let me tell you more about it!
4D View Pro: What’s New in 4D v20 R4
With every release, the list of features in 4D View Pro continues to expand. And this feature release is no exception: 4D v20.2 and 4D v20 R4 come with a new version of SpreadJS, the v16.2, and a Ribbon update that is compatible with it.
Let’s explore the enhanced features introduced in this latest version.
Introducing Code Live Checker: Elevating Code Quality in 4D Development
4D v20 R4 introduces the Code Live Checker, an algorithm used during Compilation, Syntax Checking, and code typing in the Code Editor. In this blog post, we’ll explore the unique aspects that make this feature useful for 4D developers.
A New Way to Handle Errors
We’ve recently introduced a new error-handling mechanism using the new throw() command.
This marked the first step towards a new error handling system, positioned as close as possible to the code generating them.
In the next phase with 4D v20 R4, we’re expanding this approach to intercept errors during expression execution.
Let’s delve into the details.
Auto-Generated SSL/TLS Certificates for Client-Server Communications
To simplify the security of client-server communications, from 4D v20 R4 onwards, 4D Server generates its own SSL/TLS certificates instead of relying on the default certificates provided by 4D.
This update brings a significant advantage for both testing and production environments. You’ll experience heightened security measures without the necessity of providing your own certificates. Let me explain to you what will change.
Streamlined Method Parameter Declarations
In the pursuit of efficient coding practices, 4D developers commonly configure compilation path settings to enhance syntax and typing checks, thereby minimizing errors during code execution in compile mode. Let’s see how #DECLARE method prototypes will gain time and code security.
4D Netkit: Assign Labels & Get Multiple Emails with Gmail API
From 4D v20 R4, we are adding a duo of powerful enhancements to the Gmail command set.
The first feature allows you to retrieve several emails simultaneously, and the second one will enable you to manage label emails.
Keep reading for all the details.
Structure Definition Export in HTML
Sharing structure definitions with colleagues, users, or customers is simplified through HTML formatting.
In 4D, structure definitions are presented in XML+XSL, which browsers render as HTML for easy human readability and computer-based content parsing.
However, recent browser restrictions prevent local files from using certain external resources unless sourced from the web. To overcome this issue, 4D has now re-factored this export in an HTML+CSS format, providing the option to export either XML as before or directly as HTML.
4D Netkit: Create, delete and update Gmail labels
Gmail labels provide a flexible way to categorize and organize emails, enabling personalized and efficient email management. Their use facilitates easy navigation and identification of messages, offering an enhanced user experience in email handling.
With this last set of functions that includes all the features to manage labels from the 4D v20 R4, you have in 4D NetKit a set of functions to manage your Gmail labels by programming.
