Once again the company is trying to rebrand its product by coming out with API 2.0 under the guise of helping it users. They also change what is included in each version so while you may have purchased what was considered "pro" before its now no longer "pro" and they now expect you to hand over even more money. Prior to this if you owned an earlier version you could pay a upgrade fee, but now they expect you to buy the product again by paying the full price over again. I stop upgrading the product after they announced a sale of upgrades and then announced new pricing which did away with upgrades.
That speaks volumes and blame lies with the guy that runs the company - Geoff Perlman. The product is now nearly 25 years old yet it remains a insignificant programming language with few users. The current TIOBE list of the most popular programming languages currently lists 150 products and Xojo is not found there. These rebranding were design to distance themselves from their past misdeeds and reputation of the product. Years later the company rebranded the product Real Studio. The company now called Xojo purchased CrossBasic and rebranded is RealBasic. The product was invented by a third party under the name of CrossBasic.
