Hi,

I was hearing about SF 2.0 for quite a long time, which mentioned will be including a lot of fanstatic features such as LINQ support, ORM mapper and etc. I would like to know, what is your roadmap for this? Will it be 2008, 2009 or... all this features will be released incrementally?



Thank you

I can't speak for other forum members but for me the fact that this thread is still active after almost 7 years with no definitive delivery date is extremely frustrating. While the published roadmap describes a comprehensive and obviously resource intensive effort to deliver, the time it would take by comparison to inform StrataFrame customers of its status would be insignificant.

One of the things that sold me on SF in the first place was the active participation, communication and superb support provided by its developers via this forum. However it has been almost a year since anyone from StrataFrame has posted to this thread and during that period overall participation in the forum by the developers has been conspicuously absent. I realize that StrataFrame is not MicroFour's primary business and that other business needs may take priority, especially considering the ongoing changes in health care. However I feel that MicroFour should, at a minimum, provide periodic updates to SF users, even if that update is that they are focusing on other projects.

Lacking any concrete information, current SF customers/developers are left to speculate among themselves. Will SF 2.0 ever be released or is SF 1.0 the end of the road? The organization I work for has made applications developed using StrataFrame a critical part of its operation. Not only has it invested in licenses, and annual software support and subscription fees for ES, it has spent considerable time and money in recruiting and training its programmers to use the product. I personally have put my reputation on the line by continuing to advocate the use of SF as our primary development platform to senior management. I would greatly appreciate it if someone from MicroFour would take a few minutes to inform the members of this forum as to the status/future, whatever it is, of version 2.0. It would really help me formulate my future software development plans as well as I'm sure help other members formulate theirs.

Yes sir, It's time.

Hi all,
I cannot agree more with Larry Caylor and other members of the SF community.
I just started a huge SF project converting a VFP application that has been working for over 30 years and it is a huge commitment.

The reasons for me to keep using StrataFrame is very simple, it is a reliable work of art, code just work and I have never had a significant issue with the several projects I have created.  That alone speak volume about the quality of the current version, and been able to use new .Net runtimes and Visual Studio 2013 is a good thing, but I also feel the frustration of not having more close participation from the SF team here and not seeing the new stuff I already know they have developed for their medical application, if you want to take a pick look at this link.

I hope to hear positive news from the SF team soon.

Thanks Larry for so clearly articulating the situation that I also face.

Hopefully from someone from Microfour will take the time to provide an update.
