RemObjects Elements 8.3

Includes the new Mac-native development environment and hundreds of other enhancements.
May 6, 2016
New Version

Features

  • New Mac-native development environment - Introducing the first official release of Fire, the brand new development environment for Elements on the Mac. Now you can create apps for all three supported platforms (.NET, Cocoa and Java), using all three Elements languages right on your Mac, without the need to run Visual Studio in a VM.
  • Improved Swift Support - Added support for Swift 2.2, as well as some initial support for features planned for Swift 3.0.
  • Language Improvements - New in this version are support for inline properties, the "await" feature is now available on all platforms (including Cocoa and Java), and full custom attribute support has been extended to Cocoa, bringing platform parity there too. There is also a new "readLn()" standard system function for all platforms, as well as several other improvements.
