Beta Version Currently, UBIK® Server version 4.0.0 is in Beta testing stage. Previously, in addition to the automatic tests, we've done a complete manual test of the Alpha version and have gone through a QA process fixing all defects blocking a release from R&D's point of view. Now, we want to get feedback from our internal users to make sure we provide our products with the highest quality we can. Thus, the current version 4.0.0 is being distributed to engineers in our Service Department, who will test according to their needs and experience. Depending on the resulting feedback, we will plan the further QA and release of UBIK.Server version 4.0.0.

Revision History

Revision	Release Date	Comment
4.0.0.15042 (Revision A)	2022.11.17	Initial Release
4.0.0.15076 (Revision B)	2022.11.23	Saving performance improvements
4.0.0.? (Revision C)	2022.12.??	Several bug fixes and enhancements

Features

Revision A:

• Managed System Definitions - No SQL scripts are required to update a database anymore. For installing a new UBIK^® Environment, you only need an empty database and UBIK^® Studio or SmartStudio.
• Dynamic Live Mode (DLM) - All MetaClasses are always in Live Mode now. If you change a MetaClass, UBIK^® adapts the database automatically.
• Relational Polymorphism - Override MetaProperty assignments for MetaClasses and MetaProxyProperty assignments for MetaProxies.

Revision B:

• All of Revision A
• Better saving performance: The saving performance was improved, especially for individual instances via the network.
• Better bulk saving performance: The saving performance was improved, especially for many instances via the network.

Revision C:

• All of Revisions A and B

Enhancements

Revision C:

• A base implementation for the ISystemDefinitionProvider interface was created, to make system definition version management easier for plugin developers.
• Added default instances for View, Application and Context.
• For system definitions, (read-only and customizable) property values are now accessible.

Bug Fixes

Revision C:

• An issue where document related system definitions were incomplete was fixed.
• The UIDs and ORDERs for the default languages were corrected, and Portuguese was added as a default language.
• The Kernel system definitions version was raised to 4.0.0.2.

Known Issues

• System meta classes do not have icons and international descriptions at the moment. This does not affect instances or meta classes created by the user.
• Not all property values for system meta classes and meta properties are visible at the moment. This does not affect instances or meta classes created by the user.
• The automatic creation of database views for reporting and human readability requires further polishing.
