I don't mean that it is obsolete or deprecated. I mean that the basic design and feature set is pretty much the same as v6.8 (1999) because the focus has been placed on keeping it alive, not to give it a new life.
true, there have been efforts over the years to support Unicode, UDP, TLS email and 64-bits, but the main driver for such updates was to prevent it from becoming a liability to 4D, not to make it better. as a consequence, the plugin is a strange compromise of outdated design and a series of patches that sometimes contradict each other. it is the classic new wine old skin bottle situation. 2018/09/06 5:14、Richard Wright via 4D_Tech <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>のメール: Can you clarify "in fairness, it is legacy software, free to use and not part of the main product line.” There is a 64 bit version 4D Internet Commands which tells me it’s being updated and I see nothing to indicate that it is considered legacy. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
