Blyth Software Inc of Foster City, California has announced version 3 of its Omnis 7 client-server application development environment. Its new features include a built-in version control for developers, which takes the form of an application repository that enables multiple developers to work together on separate systems, thus sharing the workload across various developers and reducing the cycle time. The Change Management feature sends the piece of upgraded software that the end user needs to run an application so that the user does not have to load it himself, which increases communication between the developer and the end-user. It has an SQL Form Builder that is a template-driven prototyping tool for automating application development, reducing development time; and an interactive graphing tool that provides the end-user with graphing detail that minimises developer code. The new version supports supports Power Macintosh, OS/2, Windows NT, HP-UX, Sun Microsystems Inc Solaris and IBM Corp AIX Unixes in addition to Windows and Apple Computer Inc Macintosh. Omnis & Portable Client-Server Enterprise Kit for Windows and Macintosh is available now at #4,000 per developer and for that it can be deployed to any number of end-users.
