Improvements

The following new features or enhancements are added to PowerBuilder 2021 MR 1311:

  • The cloud app launcher (MSI file) supports silent installation (read more).

  • Database drivers will be downloaded from NuGet to PowerServer according to the user selections and consents, instead of all drivers being downloaded automatically (read more).

    This change requires that you make a few selections in the PowerServer project settings (Database Configuration > DB Drivers) before you can re-deploy an existing application. See the below section Upgrade Notes for more instructions.

  • A cookie can be set to the cloud app launcher and the application (deployed via PowerClient or PowerServer), and the cookie is automatically attached to the HTTP request header of every client request (read more).

  • The PowerBuilder (as well as InfoMaker) login account window has been enhanced with a concise layout.
