Actually 2-4 years upgrades this is for VDN products.

    Valentina for Developer Network - give you a lots of goods
    and the main - Embedded Valentina Server with royalty free distribution.

You have purchase in 2001 Valentina for Revolution, but not VDN.

You did have free upgrades few years just because Paradigma have not made
PAID upgrades often. We do not like companies which force people pay and pay
and pay. :-)

Nice to hear.

Well, Valentina 2 - has much more features then 1.x.
Much Much Much better SQL that follow SQL92 standard 100% + more.
 
And latest 2.4 betas introduce support of REVDB API. So if you will want you
can use it. Choice up to you.

Seems to be faster :-)
 
In April we have introduce new algorithm of join for 2 tables. 100+ times
faster then old was.

In May-June - new algorithm of indexing for numeric values - also about 100
times faster then old.

In begin of August I hope to implement that join algorithm for N tables
joins.

FYI - 2.4 release should be in nearest days actually.

This WIKI page expose current state of our own tests of our Examples and
Test projects for all languages that Valentina support.
