I did a short talk at the start of today’s ClarionLive<\/a> session. John and Arnold had posted that I’d be there and the room filled up really fast. In case you missed it, here is what I covered:<\/p>\n

1. SoftVelocity and ClarionLive are co-organizing the next Clarion DevCon, which will be held in Denver Colorado, (same location as the last ClarionLive conference) for November 11-13, 2011. It’s sure to be a great event! I’ve heard the venue is incredible, and I know the content will be even better. In the weeks ahead we’ll be announcing the details on the session topics.<\/p>\n

2. The initial early release of Clarion8 is going out today!
\nA few notes on the C8 release:
\n– You’ll get your chance to try out all the new UI features, like the Gradient support on Toolbar controls, the new Slider control, the 3-state Checkbox control, the vastly improved look for disabled images and icons, PROP:NoThemed support to allow transparent SHEET when the application is using a manifest, and much more.
\n– All told there are already over 65 new features and improvements<\/strong>, as well as about 150 fixes and changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

– You\u2019ll have some long sought after improvements in the IDE; like remembering the last edited EMBED point, and the ability to edit data as Text. But you’ll have to delve into the readme for the complete list. A lot of hard work has gone into this release, and we hope you will love it.<\/p>\n

– What to expect after the install:<\/p>\n
