APEX 3.1 online

Today there was a little downtime on apex.oracle.com because it got upgraded to a pre-production release of Oracle Application Express 3.1.

Carl Backstrom already announced a code freeze, so the upgrade is the next step before it will be give to us all. The public 3.1 release is going to be very soon now ;-)

If you didn’t subscribe to the evaluation version or read anything about it, here’s a list of the new features in APEX 3.1 The list is rough, there’re some more changes and undocumented ones.

If you want to see some new features in action, there’s a nice showcase application.

The well known Sample Application got also an update and uses some of the new features. For ex. the Interactive reports and the Blob support on page 3 and 6 I find really nice.

I tried my AE Survey application also in APEX 3.1 and it seems to work now too.

Thanks APEX-team, great job!
