I am profoundly happy and proud to announce our new version 3.4.3. This version is possible with the untiring efforts of our Dr. Claudio Soto. There are so many new features introduced in this version (especially in GridInPlaceEdit).

You can download this latest version from here (64 MB)

For 64 Bit developers, you have to download and install Harbour64 and MingW64 from here (15 MB) and here (71 MB)respecitvely.

Change Log from the last version:

      - SCS_32BIT_BINARY   // A 32-bit Windows-based application

         - see documentation( DOC --> CLASSES --> HMG_TString )

Something is wrong with IDE_ANSI in installation. There are no .ANS language files.
