Visual FoxPro 8.0 is fully compatible with previous versions of Visual FoxPro and includes everything needed to write, build, and test great data-centric applications. I'd like to include some details about Visual FoxPro 8.0, related announcements, and upcoming activities around the release. Visual FoxPro 8.0 is the most feature rich release of Visual FoxPro since version 3.0. The Visual FoxPro team was hoping to release Visual FoxPro 8.0 in early January, but we needed the extra time to ensure we released the most stable version of Visual FoxPro yet, even more solid than Visual FoxPro 7.0 with Service Pack 1. The Visual FoxPro Team at Microsoft is very excited to announce that Visual FoxPro 8.0 was completed and released to manufacturing (RTM) on January 31st, 2003.
