Major New Features

  1. Multifile support: The nsx file has been reorganized. It now just contains values for project properties. All code, HTMK and other text entities are now stored as separate folders and files.
  2. GitHub Support: AppStudio projects are now GitHub compatible.
  3. Version control: You can now use git (or other utility) for version control.
  4. Team Development: The combination of multifile and GitHub allows a team of developers to work on the same project.
  5. External Editing: Having all code, HTML, etc. in separate files allows the use of other editors.
  6. Toolbox reorganized: All framework related files are now in folders for that framework.

Upgrading

If you have AppStudio 6 or older, you will need to get the upgrade to use these new features. You can order it here.

If you like would to try it first, download from the 'Check for Updates' screen in the Help menu. You'll get a demo copy.


Version 7.0.0

Version is still under development. Here's a list of what is new: All items are subject to change.

If you own a previous version of AppStudio, you need to buy the upgrade to use Version 7. You can do this from within the app or from our order form.

Until you have bought the upgrade, you can use AppStudio 7 in Demo mode for up to 30 days. Once you buy, your copy will convert automatically to the full version.
