We are working very hard on the upcoming release of Quick Objects V5 and just wanted to share a few of the improvements coming in the Designer application.

1. The tables grid now allows the user to group by any of the columns and by default it is grouped by the "Owner".
   

   

2. It is now very easy to choose the templates you like to use in your project.

   

3. We received lot of feedback on the Template Grid and have taken the steps to make it very easy to view the configured templates as well as make changes to the templates.

   
   

4. We have added several properties to the Table item in order to allow deep customization of the generated code. These properties are available in the built in templates as well as available to any custom template you write.

   

5. The description and any other large text properties now allow you to enter text in a larger editor.

   

6. Designer provides helpful hints on all aspects of the application, however sometimes the hints can come in your way. Hence, we have added the ability to instantly turn on/off the hints at anytime using either the toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut.

   

There are new features being introduced in the Business Logic Framework as well, and we hope to make a comprehensive list available as we get closer to the release. The tentative schedule for the new release is first week of May 2009. If you have any further suggestions or questions for us, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing support (at) akaltech (dot) com or by posting in the feedback area of the forums.
