Further to other posts, ArianeSoft has now released PPL 2.0! It’s available now from their website.

The list of new features, enhancements and breakthroughs in PPL 2.0 is far too extensive for this post, but here’s a partial list:

- A fully-visual programming environment, complete with a form layout editor, whether developing for Windows or Windows Mobile deployment

- A powerful code editor with built-in automatic code-completion and code-formatting, for those of you that prefer manual coding

- A fully object-oriented development environment, entirely components-based, including visual editing of object properties, and powerful object-oriented libraries

- New advanced real-time application analyzers including a code profiler, memory leak analyzer and line-by-line debugging tool

- A new object-oriented, 2D game library, called Swirl, that includes sprites, particles, Fx, sound, music, isometric display, and many others

- A new visual game-level editor with the PPL 2.0 Game Edition

- Full cross-platform SQL database support via the new Orion database library

- A new tag search engine; if you don't remember the name of a function, property or method, simply type words that might be related to what the item does and PPL 2.0 will return a list of all matches.

- Auto-update of all programs and installed components in one click

Hi Everyone. We thought we should share some additional information on PPL 2.0’s new object-oriented methodology called PCL (PPL Control Library).

PCL delivers to developers a wide array of standard and custom controls. Developers can easily create new custom controls into component packages for easy distribution.

PPL also supports the use of 3rd party DLLs and ActiveX controls, providing lots of options for great user interfaces.

For business software developers, PPL 2.0 offers a great set of objects that encapsulate the embedded database, SQLite. We’re trying to make it as easy as possible for developers to focus on their end-users and applications, rather than mundane low-level coding.

PPL 2.0 remains available via the ArianeSoft website.
