Cincom releases Cincom Smalltalk ObjectStudio 8

ObjectStudio now hosted on VisualWorks

CINCINNATI, Ohio - October 15, 2007 - Cincom Systems has released Cincom Smalltalk ObjectStudio 8, which means that ObjectStudio is now hosted on VisualWorks virtual machine and libraries. ObjectStudio 8 is the integration of Cincom Smalltalk ObjectStudio and Cincom Smalltalk VisualWorks.

The following enhancements are now available to customers:

• Increased performance, from running a faster virtual machine
• Access to a larger class library

With these advancements, ObjectStudio continues to provide native widget support and ObjectStudio syntax enhancements. ObjectStudio 8 supports VisualWorks emulated widgets simultaneously with the native widgets, and both can be used in the same application.

"Both Smalltalk systems consisted of tons of customer applications and components, most of which were only available in one system, not the other. The idea was then born to bring these two systems together in such a way that both, each VisualWorks application and component and each ObjectStudio application and component, works unchanged in the joint system, now called ObjectStudio8", said Georg Heeg, Premier Cincom Smalltalk partner.
