  237. <p>Dania Beach, Fla. -- September 20, 2005 -- OmniPilot Software, Inc., a<br />
  238. global provider of integrated management software, today announces the<br />
  239. release of Lasso Professional 8.1, as the premier tool for developing,<br />
  240. serving and managing data-driven web applications and offers developers a<br />
  241. "build once, deploy anywhere" approach.</p>
  242. <p>More than 100 changes and 19 new tags have been added to Lasso 8.1. Key<br />
  243. emphasis has been placed on enhancing Lasso's speed and performance in<br />
  244. critical areas. Many improvements have been made to Lasso's browser support<br />
  245. and handling of a multitude of character sets and encodings. Lasso 8.1 has<br />
  246. new features for creating and modifying encrypted PDFs and provides<br />
  247. enhanced support for PDF forms.</p>
  248. <p>"This is the last major Lasso update for 2005," said Brett Circe, president<br />
  249. of OmniPilot Software. "We tried very hard to incorporate the majority of<br />
  250. the feature requests and fixes that our customers have requested since the<br />
  251. release of Lasso 8."</p>
  252. <p>The most significant enhancements include:</p>
  253. <p>Performance: Lasso's performance and stability has been improved, making it<br />
  254. more suitable for applications under heavy load. Operations on binary data<br />
  255. and character strings have been optimized. The improved document caching<br />
  256. eliminates the need to re-compile code or execute redundant database<br />
  257. queries. Streamlined security and configuration settings have eliminated<br />
  258. delays and bottlenecks.</p>
  259. <p>Compatibility: The handling of data from a wider variety of browsers is now<br />
  260. improved, allowing the Lasso developer to reliably deliver applications to<br />
  261. a larger audience. Digest authentication with more versions of Microsoft<br />
  262. Internet Explorer browsers is now supported. Many fixes have been made to<br />
  263. support Microsoft Outlook's display of Lasso sent email.</p>
  264. <p>Sessions: Sessions, which track data associated with each visit, are now<br />
  265. held in memory initially, before more permanent storage to a SQLite<br />
  266. database, resulting in noticeable performance gains. Additional tuning<br />
  267. parameters make it easier and more efficient to store session data from<br />
  268. multiple Lasso servers in a single MySQL data source for load balancing.</p>
  269. <p>Data Sources: Improved compatibility with FileMaker data sources and<br />
  270. support for the new multilingual capabilities of MySQL 4.1 gives Lasso even<br />
  271. greater flexibility in data storage choices. Highly optimized database and<br />
  272. table level security checks and additional batch operations in the<br />
  273. administration LassoApps, make the configuration of data sources easier<br />
  274. than ever.</p>
  275. <p>Customer Requests: Numerous customer submitted feature requests have been<br />
  276. addressed, resulting in the addition of new features in the areas of<br />
  277. encryption and SSL certificate handling, POP and SMTP email handling, and<br />
  278. many others throughout Lasso.</p>
  279. <p>Lasso Professional Alliance (LPA) member Jim Van Heule, president of Heunox<br />
  280. Corporation, has tested the beta program release version of Lasso 8.1 and<br />
  281. states, "The testing I have done on the beta program release has shown<br />
  282. incredible speed increases. Plus, I have really liked how OmniPilot has<br />
  283. been taking the time to not only fix bugs, but to also tweak the overall<br />
  284. performance and compatibility of the product. In some tests, I saw a 25x<br />
  285. speed increase vs. the current LP8 release. There are also some very nice<br />
  286. new features."</p>
  287. <p>This is a FREE update for Lasso customers and LPA members who own any<br />
  288. version of Lasso Professional 8. As a special promotion, through the end of<br />
  289. September, any previous version of Lasso can be upgraded to Lasso 8.1 for<br />
  290. $349. LPA members can upgrade for only $249. For more information visit<br />
