Yeah when I saw that I let out a loud WOOHOO, My wife asked me what it was about,.so I had to explain. This is BIG. It seemed to me that there should have been a parade and fireworks involved with this announcement. Oh well... It's still cool... Thanks Alexandre.
For those who haven't followed this saga, what's it useful for? Getting database apps working, ok, anything else?
Multiuser desktop database apps such as Paradox, Access, FileMaker Pro, DBase, Clipper, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, etc. And... and this is the most important IMO of all... the thousands of internal custom business apps built using one of these desktop database development environments.
This one fix means that all the apps I've developed for my various clients in Visual FoxPro will now be portable to Linux. Before this fix, I couldn't say that.
