News from the front - again

The phasing out of the 2.x version (Delphi7) has begun. Version 3.0 (Lazarus) is being deployed and for a while both versions will co-exist. The main module of the new version is the NFe (Nota Fiscal Eletrônica - electronic invoice in XML according brazilian government specifications) module.

The "price check" terminal mentioned in a former post was incorporated to RNGE3. Right now we're developing the next-generation SCM (Supply Chain Management) module; instead of a mere port, it's a major overhaul. We'll read the supplier's invoice directly from his NFe's XML, saving a huge time in the inventory control process.
