Servoy 2.1.2 Release Candidate 1

[Jan Blok]

We announce the immediate availability of Servoy 2.1.2 Release Candidate 1

NOTE: this is pre release SOFTWARE, use with caution and make BACKUPS before you start.

Install in a separate directory, not in your default 2.1 Servoy directory (so you can easily move back to your production version). Before launching it make sure Sybase is not running to avoid connecting to your production repository. If you do not know how to stop Sybase restart your machine.

This version can be downloaded in the beta section of downloads at http://developer.servoy.com

Jan,

I noted a good performance boost with this version. I think it loads forms faster that have or reference global variables. Particularily global media variables. Sound right?

We do load database media a little different, globals lookup is not changed. So I cannot explain your performance boost...
