This is going to be the start of a huge shift in how we do changes to solutions in FileMaker.

However alongside FileMaker 19, we also got the release of the “ Claris FileMaker Custom App Upgrade Tool” which is complementary to the data migration tool we’ve previously seen. FileMaker now has a “Save As XML” option which is great for for documenting a solution, but still not quite a DDR replacement. I think the other interesting aspect of FileMaker 19 is how the platform is talking about developer tools and how we integrate directly with our solutions out in the field. A insightful take on this is from Todd Geist, describing FileMaker 19 as the “ first open platform“. This release is a big one in terms of the changes and direction in the platform, and the deeper integration of JavaScript and the Data API into FileMaker Pro client is going to be massive. As always we are hot on the heels of the FileMaker Pro 19 release to announce a new version of BaseElements, v 19.0b1.
