SAPIEN is pleased to announce general availability of PrimalScript 2007. You can download a free trial, or purchase your copy (or purchase an upgrade, if you’re eligible). If you’re already a PrimalScript owner, you can use our Upgrade Advisor to determine what your upgrade options are.
Upgrades are priced at $139 – however, for a very limited time, upgrades are on sale for $89 – if you need to purchase your upgrade, you’ll save money by doing so now!!! This special pricing is not permanent.
We recommend installing the trial version and evaluating it before you decide to upgrade. Many features, especially those relating to the user interface, have changed; if this will bother you, we’d prefer you to know about BEFORE you un-install your current version. The PrimalScript 2007 trial can be installed “in parallel” with older versions and will co-exist properly if you accept the defaults during installation of the trial.
In the coming days we’ll be blogging about the new features in more detail, but for right now, here’s a quick list:
- A brand-new user interface, including dockable panes, tab groups, and other enhancements. You can completely rearrange the PrimalScript UI to work the way you want to. The new user interface is also completely compatible with Vista Aero, if you’re using it.
- An enhanced script packager, giving you the ability to package VBScript, JScript, Windows PowerShell, and HTML Application files into standalone executables that run under alternate credentials. VBScript and JScript files can also be run more securely by using the SAPIEN Script Host, which runs entirely in memory and without the use of temp files.
- An all-new Visual Query Builder, offering a vastly improved drag-and-drop means of building complex SQL language queries for your scripts.
- An enhanced Find in Files feature, offering an improved results display that makes examining even a large set of results easier and more efficient.
- An ActiveX Data Objects Wizard, which is integrated into PrimalScript’s Database Browser. Use it to quickly generate VBScript code that makes working with databases fast and easier—including the use of PrimalSense code hinting and completion!
- An updated macro language that allows you to write .psCmd scripts—essentially, it’s a way to script PrimalScript itself, to automate various tasks. Nearly every feature and function in PrimalScript is accessible through the psCommand language.
We hope you enjoy PrimalScript 2007!
