In the meantime, 6.3.x which is now a stabilized version continues to be offered as a pre-release version. This will also give our devoted developers community the opportunity to benefit from our pre-release discount for a bit longer. Gizmox is offering a free upgrade to 6.4 for perpetual licenses and will reset your subscription period to start when the 6.4 version is stabilized and offered commercially.
For those who would like a taste of the next version we will soon release a free preview of 6.4. Visual WebGui 6.4 discovers a leap forward in Visual WebGui's evolution and it will literally change the way you develop and design Rich Internet Applications (RIA). The new version combines the ease of Visual WebGui drag and drop application development with graphically-engaging visual designers to build Web UI's.
The 6.4 preview new web design tools bring a new dimension of collaboration between development and UI design tasks enabling simple and productive customization and creation of rich, branded, creative customer-facing Web 2.0 like UI's. This is enabled by new Control & Theme Visual Designers that add up to the Form designer and integrate with existing design software such as Photoshop, Expression Blend, Flash CS, and more to enable the most efficient developer and designer collaboration when customizing and creating new themes and controls. Both Theme and Control Designers provide easy management of the entire project's resources and the integrative capability to edit those resources.
Visual WebGui 6.4 also introduces a new scalability server extension allowing multi-users usage scenarios. The Cluster Server also provides important redundancy to Visual WebGui web applications.
