Order today! Before the release date, buying WINDEV 24 or WEBDEV 24 or WINDEV Mobile 24 (excluding updates) as from 9/1/2019 entitles you to a
free update (package and tutorials) to the corresponding version 25, as soon as it becomes available. Buying an update to version 25 before its release
date and after 9/1/2019 enables you to get version 25 (package and manuals) for the difference in update price (excluding shipping costs). New english
versions are being announced now so you can plan on them when developing, and so you don't spend time developing features that will be included in the
product. Some functions may not be available as soon as the version is shipped, but will be offered later as downloads. Also note that additional improve-
ments and new features other than the ones described in this document may be available in the new version. WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile are
professional software. The amount of new features adds up to more than 925 since certain new features concern several subjects and are presented more
than once. Despite the care taken in creating this document, it is not contractual. Screenshots and lists are indicative. Windows XP was released in 2001.
Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP in April 2014. To compile applications intended for Windows XP, you must use version 24 or earlier of WINDEV.
A license for WINDEV 25 allows you to launch older WINDEV versions and thus compile applications for Windows XP. Do not hesitate to contact us for
