Other features in Omnis Studio 5 include brand new interactive UI components, extensions to the Omnis component interface to allow animation and transparency in third-party components, important updates in the Omnis VCS for developer teams, context menus for web and mobile forms, method performance monitoring, and much more.
TigerLogic is also pleased to introduce new product configurations and a new pricing structure for Omnis Studio 5 to encourage developers to adopt Omnis as their preferred tool for enterprise, web and mobile application development, while making Omnis Studio a more attractive proposition for all application developers, including independent developers, system houses, and vertical market application developers. One new configuration comprises a free Standard Edition SDK that allows direct access to the MySQL or PostgreSQL database, both of which are popular choices for web developers and business application developers alike. The new Professional Edition SDK provides a complete set of tools for all enterprise, web and mobile application developers, including data connecters for direct access to all leading databases, a versatile and robust Version Control System, easy to use reporting tools, a powerful 4GL and scripting language, and a world-class debugger.
“This latest release adds Mobile application development, full Unicode compatibility, and improved Localization support to the already powerful arsenal of tools available to application developers in Omnis Studio. Together with the new product and pricing configurations introduced today, we believe Omnis Studio 5 will become the essential tool for all independent developers, consultants, system houses and software vendors wishing to create the next-generation of enterprise, web and mobile applications,” commented Bob Whiting, Omnis Product Manager and General Manager of Raining Data UK Limited, a subsidiary of TigerLogic Corporation.

About Omnis Studio
Omnis Studio is a high-performance visual RAD tool that provides a component-based environment for building enterprise, web, and mobile applications – all from one code base. Omnis Studio’s Web and Mobile Client plug-in technology allows server-based applications to be accessed over the Internet using a web browser or many types of mobile devices, providing fast, secure, and scalable solutions with minimal development time. With complete scalability from individual to enterprise level solutions, Omnis applications can be developed on any one supported platform and deployed on any other platform without modification. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, all with full Unicode compatibility for your data and application interface. Omnis directly supports traditional SQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, as well as TigerLogic’s advanced multidimensional database, D3 via the mvDesigner product.

Omnis Studio dramatically cuts application development time compared to 3GL environments (C++, Java), while allowing the developer to use objects developed in 3GL environments as components in Omnis applications.
