On Mac, application signature has become a standard, and since Big Sur, you can’t even run unsigned applications. In the past, we published a workaround to build client-server applications running on a Windows server and accepting connections from Mac clients. With the release of 4D v19, we have updated the application building in 4D to handle this case. Here is how you can build a single platform or a cross-platform application in v19.

In continuous integration systems, every time code is submitted, or on an hourly basis, a compilation of the source code is automatically launched. This approach allows you to check merges on the code management server.

Starting from 4D v19, a new command allows you to launch code compilation, so you can set up this type of system.

We recently reviewed the formats of our logs to increase their readability and their compliance with automated analysis. We made these improvements in response to real-life situations we experienced, directly addressing issues that were hindering our ability to use 4D logs. In this blog post, we’ll explain in detail what changes we made so you can adjust your log analyzing tools accordingly.
