Another year, another XDC. Once again I’ll try to describe events as they happen for the benefit of those who couldn’t attend. Feel free to jump in with questions and comments.
After a tasty breakfast, we are waiting for Geoff’s Keynote to start. @Dana Brown is introducing him now…
Now talking about Xojo Cloud. Last year Geoff talked about how there had not been any breaches in over 360 million attempts. This year, they don’t know exactly because they had to stop tracking. Users’ logs were filling up!
Xojo Cloud will get faster uploading. The first time you upload, it sends everything. Subsequently, the Libs folder is cached. Now showing a video comparing r3, r4, and r4 with caching. Expect 400% improvement.
Windows framework is getting an update. Behind the scenes, GDI and GDI+ will be replaced with Direct2D. It will give you better, smoother graphics and hardware acceleration.
Note: you won’t see the improvement on a virtual machine, but on actual hardware.
