Force Login Now the Default for REST API Access

Enhance your API security with Force Login mode, now the default for REST API access, making it easy to manage access and transition from legacy methods.

Simplify Component Interactions

Simplify your coding with automatic class sharing across components using declared namespaces, eliminating complex setups and enabling easy class usage.

Compare Object & collection References Easily

Easily verify object and collection references in your code with new comparison operators, helping you distinguish between separate objects and references to the same object.

Access Session Storage Across Different Sessions

Access and manage session storage across different parts of your application with the new Session storage by id command, ensuring a consistent user experience across web, client/server, and mobile sessions.

PDF/A3 File Extraction

4D 20 R6 introduces a dedicated component that automates the extraction of embedded files from PDF/A3 documents, which is crucial for handling mandatory electronic invoices in Europe (see details for France and Germany). Easily installed via the Component Manager, this tool leverages the open-source QPDF library to extract and manage various embedded files, including parsing XML files directly into DOM trees.

Control Empty Data Source Visibility in Tables

Take charge of table appearance with the wk empty datasource attribute, offering settings to show, hide, or customize tables when their data sources are empty.

Get Rid of Gaps from Deleted Entities

Keep your entity selections neat and organized by removing empty spaces left after deleting entities, improving the overall appearance of your interface.

Refine Warning Display for Better Code Management

Enhance your coding efficiency by setting global warning preferences and filtering out irrelevant warnings to maintain focus on important issues.

Customize OAuth 2.0 Login Interface

Get more flexibility in the OAuth 2.0 login process by controlling the display of the login interface, allowing you to prevent automatic browser windows.

Direct GitHub Component Integration

Connect directly to GitHub repositories to integrate and manage 4D components, eliminating the need for local component storage.

Improve Subform Scrolling Experience

Enhance user interaction with subforms by fixing scrolling issues, ensuring that lists move smoothly without disrupting the entire subform.
