Irving, Texas – September 18, 2025 – The Early Access Program (EAP) for Genero v6 will officially open on the 30 of September to mid-December. This is your chance to join the EAP and to try the full set of Genero v6 features, prepare your applications for the future, and share feedback that will help shape the final release.

What’s New in Genero v6 EAP?

Genero v6 delivers a comprehensive set of enhancements designed to make development smoother, applications faster, and systems more reliable. Here’s what you can explore during this EAP.

Language & Infrastructure

Health tracking
  • Prometheus Integration: Provide real-time insight into application performance, runtime states, and infrastructure for comprehensive health tracking.
    You can now monitor GAS, dispatchers, proxies, and DVM components. Observe report engine activity and resource usage with rich Prometheus metrics.
Custom Metrics via BDL API
  • Define and collect your own business events and KPIs for tailored monitoring.
Delegated Authentication
Metrics for GIP, SSO & FLM
  • Monitor authentication activity, license consumption at a glance.
Authentication delegation
  • Delegated Authentication: Allow users to sign in with Fusion Auth, or any OpenID Connect provider — no extra passwords to manage. You can reuse enterprise IDP to protect your Genero applications and services.
Security Enhancements
  • Modern Cryptography: Integration of SSL 3.5 with support for ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) delivers stronger security with shorter, more efficient keys.
Rest & openapi full support
  • Full OpenAPI Support: JSONPattern, JSONAllOf, JSONEnum, schema controls to provide better server side specifications and documentation, as well as interoperability with third-party.
Database support
  • Informix 15 Support: New dbmifx_15 driver (in the CSDK 15 client environment) delivers faster, more reliable connectivity for mission-critical systems.

Genero Web Apps

Run Without Waiting

  • Execute long-running tasks in the background so the user interface stays responsive, and workflows remain uninterrupted.

Genero Browser Client

Beautiful theme

  • UX-UI optimization: Offer a better UX-UI user experience.
  • UX-UI review of cross-navigation components: Navigate easily between applications. Reviewed side bar drawer, side bar rail, window list, application list with a new quick close for application.
  • Chromebar design: Smoother user navigation and screen space optimization for users. Chromebar is hidden by default on Genero Desktop Client.
  • Touch screen optimization: Manage touch navigation and interactions with components more effectively (sliders, …).
New widgets and enhancements

  • Phone number field: Dedicated field for correct phone number formatting and editing.
  • Tag entry field: Use tags to enter multiple values in a field.
  • Multi-Column Sorting: Organize and analyze data with ease.
  • Multimodal support: Display and move several modal windows for easier visualization or data copy-paste.

Genero Report Writer

Dynamic tables
The table element has been enhanced to make reports simpler and cleaner.
  • Dynamic sizing: Table now supports row spanning and dynamic layout in the sense that column width and row height are determined at runtime based on the cell content.
  • Improved cell property control: More fine granular control over cell properties, such as colors, fonts, borders, margin, padding has been added.

Genero Mobile Android

  • Android 15 & 16 support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EAP?

Early Access Programs (EAP) provide early versions of our software for developers to test with their applications and influence its new features prior to General availability (GA).

The EAP is your opportunity to influence the future release. You can use the EAP to:
  • Ennsure your application upgrades to the latest release with minimal effort.
  • Verify new features can be used immediately in your application.
The minimum expectations are that you:
  • Download the EAP packages.
  • Modify your code base if necessary per the Upgrade Guides and provide feedback if there are errors.
  • Verify your application compiles and provide feedback if it does not.
  • Perform basic testing of your application to ensure that it still runs as expected and provide feedback if it no longer works as it previously worked.
What we would like is:
  • Perform full QA testing of your application and provide feedback where the program no longer works as it did before.
  • Fully evaluate and provide feedback on any feature we have introduced.
  • Monitor and provide feedback on issues reported by other EAP participants.

The biggest risk is that something new breaks your code. This is not our intent, but it can happen. During an EAP, we have options available to us to resolve conflicts: If you only discover a conflict after the official release, you may have to wait until a maintenance release for the issue to be resolved, or we may decide that it is the future path for the product and that you have to amend your code if you wish to upgrade to this release. In addition, when you go to use a new feature, you may find that you are restricted in its use because it is missing a feature that is important to you. It is much more difficult for us to make changes after a release has occurred.  With a maintenance release:
  • We do not want to force users to edit 4gl code in order to install a maintenance release.
  • We do not want to force users to compile 4gl code as part of installing a maintenance release.
  • We do not want to force the concurrent installation of two or more of our products as part of a maintenance release.
The best time for us to make changes is in the EAP period prior to the GA release. Think about this real-world example: Consider Genero’s two base.StringTokenizer methods. Why two methods? Feedback about ‘what happens if the delimiter is escaped’ or the ‘case of empty tokens’ was received after the base.StringTokenizer.create method was released.  We could not change this method to add two extra parameters; that would break anyone’s code that used it. We had to create a second method (base.StringTokenizer.createExt) to handle those cases, when perhaps the optimal solution would have been to have a single method.
