Each new version of Omnidex brings a collection of improvements, from new features to increased performance. Here are the primary features and enhancements in the major releases of Omnidex:

The Omnidex Administrator is a Microsoft Windows-based tool for managing Omnidex environments and installations. This feature is still in development, but it is hoped that it will be part of the 5.3 production release. Stay tuned!

The Omnidex Query tool is a Microsoft Windows-based tool for executing and tuning queries against an Omnidex environment. Omnidex Query can perform SQL queries, and can also easily set up demos of ActiveCounts and PowerSearch.

The OmniSearch Java and .NET classes provide an easy way to create ActiveCounts and PowerSearch applications, including web-based applications. The OmniSearch classes handle all of the work of managing the SQL statement for an application, and provide values and their respective counts to be displayed for the user.

Omnidex now supports the VX/RMS interface on Linux servers. The VX/RMS interface emulates a DEC VMS environment on Linux machines. Omnidex 3.8 was the last version to directly support the DEC VMS environment; however, current versions of Omnidex now support the emulation on Linux servers.

Omnidex now logs more information about error conditions so that they can be easily evaluated by support staff.

The installation processes for Omnidex have been rewritten on both Microsoft Windows and Linux to make installations easier and faster.

A more detailed release history of this version is also available, showing the individual patches and release dates.
