Friday, January 16, 2009 - 04:46 PM, (4793 Reads)
The first update of CarbonTools PRO for 2009 is a cool one. In addition to the usual bug corrections and feature enhancements we also added a new GML 3.2 parser and a major update to Gaia (version 3.3). Gaia Extender developers would love the API enhancements made in this version. Like all previous CarbonTools PRO releases the full Gaia source code is included with the package.
