  • === Major changes ===.
  • You can optionally specify a module as a non-GUI function. Our benchmark testing shows that this increases execution of simple modules from 300 times per second to 3,000 times per second!.
  • You can now load ScriptMaster modules from a network URL using the SMLoadJar function, which lets you centralize all of your favorite modules onto a web server and load them into your solution.
  • Major speed improvements to compiling ScriptMaster functions.
  • Now has Groovy 1.7.1 compiled into the plugin. This supports many new groovy features, such as the GroovyWS web services classes.

  • You may now choose to purchase ScriptMaster Advanced Edition. The Advanced edition has these features in addition to what comes with the free version:.
  • You can create your own FileMaker plugins from ScriptMaster, which can be distributed royalty-free to any client with your FileMaker solution. You can name them whatever you want, and they will have your favorite ScriptMaster modules embedded right into the plugin!.
  • You can execute SQL statements in FileMaker with the Advanced Edition, or with plugins generated from it.
