New Ingenieum release!

We're working on a new release of Ingenieum.
 
We've also got a new website being developed now - it looks fantastic - congrats to Don and Sam for getting it moved along. Beej - your design has worked for the last 3 years, but we felt it was time for a revamp (love you btw) and we thank you profusely for the work you did in getting the current site together.
 
So, what's in the new release? In a word, lots.
 
1. A proper RDBMS instead of MS Access. We'll be using the open-source Firebird RDBMS - see http://www.firebirdsql.org for details.
2. Lots of page generation stuff will be inside the database in the form of stored procedures, so we can easily put the database on another platform (Linux, Unix, MacOS) and connect to it via PHP served by Apache! So if you've been put off by needing IIS, have another look at Ingenieum soon!
3. Getting Ingenieum to run on other platforms gives us a lot of scope to provide more and more functionality and services.
 
Stay tuned at http://www.ingenieum.com for more details.
