Why have we released these earlier than planned? Because we love the new visual design / build methods so much (“a thing of beauty!” quote our MD) that we all agreed “Get it out there!”

Hence this release includes “System Visions”, “Forms Visions” and “Application Manager”.

These new visual methods assist the XPORians amongst us to;
