As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year 2026.
This moment between years carries a certain clarity. The pressure eases. Perspective returns. You can feel what worked, what flowed, and what is ready to move faster. It is a good place to stand. Calm. Focused. Looking ahead with intent.
A few things are already lining up for the year to come.
4D 21 LTS is ready to launch
Just before the holidays, the 4D 21 beta became available. You can download it now and start working with what is coming next. The official 4D 21 LTS release arrives in mid January, and the platform is already in its final stretch.
4D 21 LTS is not about starting over. It is about compounding value across the platform.
With 4D AI Kit, AI moves from the periphery into the core of your applications. It is designed to be monetizable, so intelligence becomes a product capability rather than a technical experiment. With 4D Qodly Pro, web and desktop development continue to converge, bringing more consistency across projects and more flexibility in how features are delivered. At the same time, existing data starts doing more, supporting smarter search and clearer user experiences without increasing complexity.
The beta is where readiness forms. It is where teams validate direction and move into the LTS release with confidence. For a focused view of what has changed, the upgrade manual highlights exactly what is new in 4D 21 LTS.
Webinars to start the year sharp
December rarely leaves space for exploration. These sessions give it back.
Each webinar is grounded in real scenarios and practical outcomes. They are built to answer the questions that slow teams down, not to add noise.
What’s new in 4D 21 LTS since 4D 20 R10: A clear overview of what has evolved, what to explore first, and how the latest platform updates can support your upcoming projects.
Add semantic search and RAG with 4D 21 and 4D AI Kit: See how to introduce intelligent search and AI powered answers into your applications to create more value from your existing data.
Add web browser based forms to your desktop apps with 4D Qodly Pro: Learn how to extend your 4D applications with modern web forms, without rebuilding your business logic.

Design modern 4D forms with CSS: Learn how CSS helps you create consistent interfaces, reduce maintenance effort, and apply UI updates faster across your application
These are not sessions to consume quickly. They are reference points you return to when decisions need clarity.
Turn momentum into mastery
Testing, watching, exploring. At some point, momentum needs structure. That is where learn.4d.com comes in.
It is a dedicated space to go deeper, without pressure and without noise. Tutorials, videos, and structured learning paths help turn what is new into what feels natural. Features stop being concepts and start becoming habits.
Whether you are reinforcing fundamentals or sharpening advanced skills, Learn 4D gives you a clear progression curated by 4D experts. You move at your own pace, build confidence step by step, and strengthen your expertise in a way that lasts.
A final window before the year turns
There is still time to benefit from the End of Year 2025 promotion, available until December 31, 2025.
You can receive an additional 10 percent discount on 4D 20 perpetual licenses, with free maintenance included. Eligible 4D Partners may benefit from additional partner discounts.
It is a quiet opportunity to strengthen your setup now, while optimizing both licensing and maintenance costs before the calendar changes.
Stepping into 2026
With 4D 21 LTS just ahead, the path into 2026 is already clear. Whether you begin by testing the beta, revisiting the webinars, or aligning your licenses with what comes next, each step moves in the same direction.
We are excited to continue building what is next with you.
Happy New Year, and see you in 2026.
