Over this past week, we've made available not one, not two, but *three* new builds of [Data Abstract](https://www.dataabstract.com/?ref=blogs.remobjects.com), our multi-tier database framework, and [Remoting SDK](https://www.remotingsdk.com/?ref=blogs.remobjects.com), the networkling library it builds on top of.

## Remoting SDK & Data Abstract 9.6 is Released

First, there's the official release of Remoting SDK & Data Abstract **9.6**.

This is a medium-level release building on our RODA9 platform and last November's 9.5 release. It contains many fixes and improvements, as well as a few new features across both products and all platforms. Highlights include a library version for **.NET Standard** clients, support for **generic complex types** in Code-First servers, and more. For new users trying out the products on Delphi, this version also adds trial compatibility with the **Delphi 10.3.1** update.

As always, 9.6 is a free update for all users with an active subscription, and available as a [free trial](https://www.dataabstract.com/da/download?ref=blogs.remobjects.com).

## Remoting SDK & Data Abstract 9.7 Beta

We've also shipped the first beta build for Remoting SDK & Data Abstract 9.7.

Version 9.7 is a small incremental update we are working on, planned for release sometime in April or May. It will consolidate additional bug fixes and minor enhancements, and also add support for **Visual Studio 2019**.

## Remoting SDK & Data Abstract 10

Beyond 9.x, we have of course been making longer-term plans for the future of Remoting SDK & Data Abstract, and that is Version 10.

About a year and a half ago we switched our *other* major product, [Elements](https://www.elementscompiler.com/?ref=blogs.remobjects.com), from a release-based product cycle to weekly updates. This has worked out *really* well for the product, and enabled us to ship more and better new features and improvements, more quickly.

We're now ready to take the same step with Remoting SDK & Data Abstract, as well.

Starting with this week's first build, we'll be making Remoting SDK & Data Abstract 10 builds available on a regular schedule (right now we're aiming for bi-weekly) on the `Experimental` or `Preview` channels. These builds will include new features, bug fixes and enhancements, and sometime early peeks at bigger features we have in the pipeline.

Each build will be suitable for real-life use, but every few weeks we will promote a particularly solid build to the `Stable` channel, for those of you who don't want to live on the cutting edge.

### Features Coming up or Planned for v10

Like Elements, RODA10 will be an ongoing release that will continue to get better all the time. Below are just a few highlights we have planned for the course of 2019.

- Support for **.NET Core 3.0**, Clients and Servers
- **Relativity Server 2**, with plugins, more login providers, and a new admin API and web interface
- New [**Grijjy**](https://github.com/grijjy/GrijjyFoundation?ref=blogs.remobjects.com)**\-based channels** for RO/Delphi
- A **modernized RODA/Cocoa**
- A **cross-platform API** to share RODA client code between Elements platforms more easily
- Client support for Elements' **Island** platforms

and *so* much more...
