What do you do if you can’t leave the house? If you’re a software developer the answer is obvious – you write great software!

That’s just what our team has been doing. From our spare rooms, home offices, living room sofas and back bedrooms, we’ve been working harder than ever on finishing up the features and adding polish to LCFM Native. So much so, that our latest release has 501 more new features, fixes and enhancements than the last one. No, we’re not finished yet. (You can check the full list of features implemented here.) But we have come a long way. If, like us, you are unable to leave the house, and maybe you have a bit of time on your hands, you might like to check out the latest and greatest LCFM Native.

Progress on LCFM Native continues rapidly. We’ve made some big steps forward in this release. The most notable is that we’ve greatly improved the graphic display performance of apps on all platforms, and most particularly on Android.

Better Performance

LCFM Native 1.2 has arrived. It’s been 11 days since LCFM Native 1.1 but we’ve still managed pack a lot of improvements into this release. Notable improvements include the addition of the OnLayoutSizeChange trigger and adding support for find requests containing values for related fields.

We’re delighted to bring you the next version of the LCFM Native compiler today. We’ve packed a lot into a month! This release brings you a host of fixes, features and improvements making your compiler experience smoother and ensuring more apps will run better. Notable improvements include support for automatically rotating orientation on mobile, better support for non-English locales, improvements to the barcode scanner and improvements to container handling.

The wishes of thousands of FileMaker users have today come true. Your FileMaker solution can now be compiled for Android.

Your solution will run as a true native app on Android, iOS and Mac platforms (Windows and Linux coming soon). It will call home to your FileMaker server, keeping your data in sync on whatever platforms and devices you and your clients are using. It will even save your data offline and then sync it up again to the server when a connection is restored.

We’re delighted to say we now have Beta 3.2 available for testing. The major change in this release is we have made some improvements to syncing to give you more control on what is happening and when.
