Welcome to the RadGs Sofware Blog area where you will be able to get the latest informations about the CONCEPT developing process.
New features in Concept, Sun Jan 13 12:23:14 2008
In the Concept Application Server official distribution new software was included, created in CIDE : the Apache Autoconfigurator. Now, is very easy to configure Apache to run a traditional web application written in Concept Language . Traditional web applications are depending both on CAS and Apache ... Read more
Linux distribution finally up-to-date, Sun Dec 16 03:10:32 2007
The *nix/BSD source distribution is finally out. Check the download page for install instructions.
New new new, Fri Dec 14 01:16:26 2007
New website, Concept Application Server RC3 finally out. Added support for JSON, SpiderMonkey, Native SQLite and GD Charts.
Also, the Linux Client is finally up to date!
Added XSLT Support, Tue Sep 11 09:17:28 2007
Thanks to the Sablotron library, Concept has now XSLT support. XSLT should be a convenient alternative to the standard templates used by Concept (those inspired by Smarty).
New libraries available to Concept: PDF support, Fri Sep 7 15:36:38 2007
PDFLib lite (commercial) is available to Concept (check the Samples/PDF directory in the distribution). PDFLib cannot be used for commercial application so another library was ported: libharu (as standard.lib.hpdf).
The function interfaces are the same as the C functions described by the PDFLib lite and the libhabu API reference, except that all the structures are replaced by arrays, for example:
A struct named Date contains a field named year. In the array version you should have DateArray["year"] instead of date.year.
Eric Schmidt defines Web 3.0, Tue Aug 28 10:07:34 2007
Is it Web 3.0 ? Or is it Concept ? What do you think ?
Can we consider the Concept Platform the equivalent of Web 3.0 ?
Feel free to contact RadGs and express your opinion.
Thank you FFmpeg developers, Sun Aug 26 21:33:25 2007
Concept has now multimedia support on most platforms thanks to the libavformat and libavcodec (included in the FFmpeg distribution). Codecs like MPEG-4 ASP (or DivX how is improperly called) are now supported. Go and try out the new multimedia experience. Late this week a media server will be available for testing.
Code snippet:
...
class MyForm extends RForm {
...
function Stream(Sender, EventData) {
var f=fopen("test.avi","rb");
var sz=40000;
if (f) {
fseek(f, start, SEEK_SET);
fread(var buf="", 1, sz, f);
var len=length buf;
start+=len;
if (len!=sz)
done=true;
fclose(f);
Media.StreamBuffer(buf);
if (!done)
AddTimer(Stream, 100);
}
}
function Timer(Sender, EventData) {
Media=new RMedia(box);
Media.MinHeight=100;
Media.Packing=PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET;
Media.Show();
Media.BeginStream();
// Some cool look for the window !
Opacity=0.95;
Stream(0,0);
}
...

Linux distribution finally out !, Tue Jun 5 12:59:13 2007
The Concept Client and Concept (Pengoon) Server is now available. Pengoon is a combination from Concept and Penguin.
Go to the download page to download the linux package.
Testing, testing and more testing - Minor fixes and updates, Sun Apr 15 04:41:17 2007
Some new libraries were added. The Concept Client is now linked to gtkmm 2.10 instead of 2.8 (2.10 being a newer version). The RTreeView control has now 6 more properties: GridLines, TreeLines, ShowExpanders, SearchEntry, IndentationLevel and MultipleSelection (experimental).
Final touches to Concept, Thu Mar 29 03:26:53 2007
HELP is finally ready. It contains just over 1500 pages describing not only the framework, but also the static libraries used by Concept.
A new library was added: standard.net.ym (is the only one not documented in the help section yet because we're still testing it).
A new installer was added, and the client is now integrated into internet explorer firefox or other browser you may use. The nasty console application is history and is replaced by a graphic one that automatically appears when needed.
We're getting closer to the final release version for Concept: various bugs were fixed in all the sections, extensive testing is in progress and IDE will be soon be available in a stable version.
The first public Concept application is running on primary server (called Venus). Is a Yahoo Messenger client written entirely in Concept. You may want to download Concept, install it and the open yahoo messenger on line from:
The final release candidate is now available, Sat Feb 17 18:31:16 2007
The final release candidate is now available for download. A lot of bug fixes, more precise, cleaner, and more graphics, thanks to the ActiveX multi-media support (feature available only for windows clients). The framework help is also available, so the last thing to be pulled out from "beta" is the server. The launch will be delayed to April 2007, for the Concept to pass all the internal tests and provide reliability. In addition, RadGs Software is testing this platform on various medium- to big- size ERP projects.
Thanks for the support,
Regards,
Eduard
GUI Framework help is ready !, Mon Feb 12 04:45:47 2007
You are invited to review the new GUI controls help. In a few days a functional help system will be ready for use ! Help available here !
The Help is shaping up, Tue Jan 30 17:48:30 2007
Since today RadGs Software will be focused on writing all the documentation for the Concept platform, starting with the framework. Check back soon for the final help files. Also, RadGs is looking for programmers willing to test Concept in an on line session.
No need for two different clients, Mon Jan 22 10:01:52 2007
Concept has now a fully portable client supporting both ADO and ActiveX Controls. ADO controls are emulated, so it`s possible to use ADO controls on any platform. However ActiveX is a windows related technology, and still is available only when the client is running on windows.
Also, added two members to the Application class: RequestFile and SendFile. This two functions allow to request or send a file to the client. This two operations require user confirmation (for security reasons).
C/S Framework ready !, Tue Jan 9 17:36:22 2007
The CSA of RadGs proudly announces the release version of the framework. This version, along with the release version of the client will be available in just a few days.
The `to do` contains now only
the IDE (which is almost ready)

New functions on the platform, Wed Dec 27 02:55:38 2006
Added new features to the Concept framework like draw primitives and fully customizable mouse cursors. The draw primitives can be used to draw on the remote canvas of a Concept control that supports drawing. Check the screenshots page for more. Also the CIDE has new features and less bugs.
New syntax element, Fri Dec 8 03:49:36 2006
Introducing a new syntax element: expressional switch/case. This means that the case expressions can be anything instead of the usual constants. This can ease up the work for the Concept programmer, now being able to say:
switch (a) {
case b+1: // a == b+1
break;
}
Preparing ``to Concept``, Mon Dec 4 18:23:54 2006
All Concept tests were passed successfully. Now only the IDE and the Help system is still in the `to do` section of RadGs Software`s schedule. Also, a commercial license is created. Concept is, and will be free for personal, non-profit and academic purposes, but one can request a commercial license. The commercial license has:
Technical support
On-line assistance
Notifications on bug-fixes and updates
Using this license, you also support RadGs Software to develop Concept.
Check back to our website for updates and news. The release date is closing by, and we need all the feedback.
Less bugs, more features, Mon Nov 27 01:59:46 2006
ActiveX support added to the GTK client(until now was available only on the win32 Client). The ActiveX support is available only when the client is running on windows, but the server, can however be on Linux or BSD. A series of bug-fixes including a binary search problem for arrays was fixed. Also, the win32 installer had a minor bug (which caused the Concept server not to start after installing it in some particular cases). Also, the IDE is starting to have its Design View. In the next few days, a 80% functional IDE will be uploaded on the server. Check this blog for more information.
New radgs.com website, Sat Nov 18 20:52:21 2006
RadGs Software has now a new web site, CONCEPT-based of course, based on the web platform developed for our clients. Now, RadGs will keep you informed with the progress made by CONCEPT, and the launch scheduled for February 2007. The progress for now is:
