What's New

- Updated Developer Assistant to work in Windows FileMaker 11.
- Developer Assistant can now find additional special characters, making it quick and easy to find broken scripts containing '' or ''.
- Fixed an incompatibility with FileMaker 11 that caused Macintosh plug-ins to fail to work with the 2empowerFM manual.
- Fixed compatibility issues between FileMaker 11 and Macintosh Dialogs Unlimited, Layout Painter, Menu Popper, window variables, and Keyboard and Mouse.
