Log4j

Regarding the Java library Log4j vulnerability we'd like to report that this Log4j-issue does not affect Blaise and its tools.
Blaise does not use java at all. Java or the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) doesn't need to be installed, and thus it also doesn't use Log4j.
Furthermore, the public web part is hosted on Microsoft IIS and not Apache/Tomcat (which have this problem with Log4j).
One point of interest, however, may be any custom components you use. We have no control over that, so you will have to check that yourselves.

Online Blaise 5 Layout Course in November 2021

Due to the current pandemic, where most of us still work from home and travel is difficult or even prohibited, we have decided to offer our Blaise 5 Layout Course online via Zoom again. Normally, this course takes 4 days, but given that whole days on Zoom will be very exhausting as well as to accommodate as many time zones as possible, the course will be spread out over 8 half-days, from 9:00 to 13:00, CEST.

The dates for this course are 9, 10, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23 and 25 November and, as stated above, it will be presented, in English, via Zoom.

Blaise 5.9 - The January 2021 release

Version 5.9.1 (build 2637, dated January 8, 2021) has been released.
It can be found in the usual location on our ftp-server.
New features and changes for this build include the introduction of an (Azure) Cloud server, a new data type (DateTimeType), and a ForEach action that can be used in expressions in the expression editor.

Due to an incompatibility in the web API in both Blaise 5.7 and Blaise 5.8, an upgrade button is available in the Server Manager to mitigate damage. See the Upgrade topic in the Help for more information.

Both Android and iOS have a new version available (5.9.1.2634). You can find the Android app in the Play store. The iOS app will become available as soon as the Apple store approves the app.
