Overview

The most significant change in this is release is support for a Unicode data type. From Wikipedia: "Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. The latest version contains a repertoire of 136,755 characters covering 139 modern and historic scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets. The Unicode Standard is maintained in conjunction with ISO/IEC 10646, and both are code-for-code identical." The addition of Unicode will allow you to develop APPX applications to run in any language.

 Language Translation uses the new .UTIL COMPUTE HASH to compute hash values in the Dictionaries. Your Dictionaries are automatically converted during the migration.

New & Revised APIs

All the .TEXT APIs have been reworked to accept Unicode strings up to 1M in length. The .TEXT LOWER TO UPPER and .TEXT UPPER TO LOWER use the Unicode library to convert text. If you have applications that add or subtract 32 from the ASCII value to convert case, be aware that this technique will not work with Unicode data (unless the Unicode field only contains US ASCII characters).
