Original Press Release:
Fourth World Releases WebMerge 2.4.1 Offers Special 'Buy Two Get One Free' Anniversary Promotion
LOS ANGELES, California - 4 April, 2006 Fourth World celebrated its 12th year in business today with the release of 4W WebMerge 2.4.1, an update to its popular tool for Mac OS and Windows that generates static Web pages from database or spreadsheet
data. The new version provides more robust automatic table generation, more flexible wiki-like syntax options for rapid content publishing, even faster performance, and improved appearances on OS X Tiger and Windows XP.
WebMerge works with any database or spreadsheet that exports in tab-delimited, merge, or other tabular formats, including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access, and most affiliate data feeds. Using simple tags in templates created with any HTML authoring tool, WebMerge makes a new page from the data in each record of the exported file. WebMerge can also create index pages with links to each of the detail pages.
Generated pages can be hosted on any Web server without the need for a specialized database hosting solution.
The company is offering a special Anniversary Promotion: Through the end of April customers can purchase two WebMerge licenses at the regular price and get a third license at no charge.
Enhancements in WebMerge 2.4.1 include:
- WebMerge's ability to automatically generate tables with the optional cols attribute for the WM-Record tag has been significantly improved, now generating well-formed HTML under a broader range of tag combinations than in previous version.
- An issue with OS X in which some files were not selectable in the standard GetFile dialog has been corrected.
- The WM-Wiki tag has been enhanced for robustness and improved performance.
- Using multiple conditions in the WM-If tag is now faster and more robust.
- The WM-If tag now supports escaping for semicolons and parentheses, so these characters can be used as part of a literal string for evaluation.
- The option to have URLs automatically written as link (see the Generation tab) has been significantly improved to handle a broader range of URLs formats in text more reliably.
- Improved appearances on all supported platforms, including native controls on Windows XP and Mac OS X.
- Various minor bug fixes. All reproducible issues have been addressed for this release.
