JOHNSON CITY, TN (October 22, 2019) — GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce the availability of GraffitiSuite Release 30!

“Release 30 is a monster,” according to Anthony G.

Release 25 Now Available

  • February 1, 2018

Johnson City, TN (February 1, 2018) — GraffitiSuite Solutions is proud to announce Release 25 for GraffitiSuite Desktop and Web Editions!

Included in Release 25 are major bug fixes, compatibility improvements, and new products.

For R25, we focused on improving not only the end-user’s experience, but also the developer’s experience. We’ve done some work converting old Constant values for properties to Enumerations and added properties and methods that were previously missing and frequently requested for a number of the classes.

In the realm of new products, Desktop Edition has three new classes (GraffitiNote, GraffitiSettings and GraffitiTabBar), while two new classes have been added to Web Edition (GraffitiWebLabel and GraffitiQRReader). These new classes are sure to be a welcome addition to any developer’s arsenal.

In terms of bug fixes, for Desktop, GraffitiHTMLEditor has seen a plethora of changes aimed at improving support on MacOS primarily. Other notable changes are to GraffitiGrid, GraffitiCalendar, and GraffitiSlideshow. For Web, there are very few of our products that didn’t receive some work in this release, and improvements were made to our base class to improve support across the board.

Release 20 Coming Soon

  • January 12, 2015

Release 20 is coming along nicely, so how about an update of what’s included?

GraffitiSuite Web Edition is the primary focus of this release, with nearly 50 changes in so far. Of those, 5 are completely new products, 4 are added functionality, and 36 are bug fixes. Special attention has been paid to dialogs and resizing in this release, so we’ve rewritten the WebPage of the demo to add the ability to test that functionality.

GraffitiSuite Desktop Edition will also see some love in this release with a fix for Scaling Factor on non-Cocoa targets (we now actually get a scaling factor on Windows, as well). You’ll also see a new addition in this release that has actually been worked on periodically for the last few years.

We have no set release date, but we’re working to get it ready as fast as we can since it includes some compatibility fixes for Xojo Web 2014r3.1
