biggest sensation since FMP7? Yes, I do see a change of paradigm.

But is this that important?

FMP7 had the changes to multiple tables within a single file. Yes, this
was a significant change. But what now?

Some time ago, FMP announced SQL support - but what it did to it was
crippled so much, I really doubt it will have reasonable JS support.

However, the chart capabilities looked nice. I'll have a look into it.
