ACIUS shipped (is shipping) upgrades to all registered users. The upgrade is FREE. I am sure it will be coming soon to a store near you. (Computerware has it) If you are upgrading, the package comes with a converter to move your 1.0 databases into 2.0. (Hint: Run 4D Tools 1.04 on your 1.0 database before running the convertor on it. This gives the converter a clean slate on which to run.) The two most obvious improvements are speed and ease of use. 2.0 is much faster than 1.0 All the data access functions are an order of magnitude faster. 2.0 is also much easier to use. In 1.0 you could do alot, but there were some definite hacks. 2.0 removes those hacks. Anyone should now be able to build databases with 2.0. I waited a while for this upgrade, but am glad I did.
