Preparing for Concept 2.0

Concept 1.x is now powerful and mature. It is stable and the relation between Concept Application Server and GyroGears is now truly symbiotic. GyroGears is also stable and prepared to evolve into a new generation of application generators. The 2.0 release of Concept will include:

faster execution time
smaller memory footprint
less CPU usage
same zero crash-tolerance policy
more security features
Zero-downtime updating system that will allow the update of Concept Server with no downtime (or with at most a few seconds of downtime without affecting the users).
CLB (Concept Load Balancer) out of BETA
CIDE enhancements
Do/Install deployment tool replacing CUDW
Binary compatible with Concept 1.x (Concept will always be backward-compatible)
An enhanced GyroGears (1.2) distribution
Thread-safe variables and better multithread APIs

Concept 2.0 will focus on mission critical applications. The first BETA version will be available early in 2011. Some of the features are already available in the official Concept 1.2 distribution.

create-technology said...: can Concept be run on the next generation computers (I mean iPad tablets)?; December 13, 2010 at 12:35 PM
Eduard Suica said...: Concept Client runs on OS X. For Concept Server you must compile it yourself. Also, Concept Client is not available through iTunes, so you can't install it on iPad, iPhone or iPad. But it should run.

I'm not sure that iPad is a next generation tablet ... it is more of an entertainment device ...; December 13, 2010 at 1:33 PM
