I’m enthused about any new version of FileMaker Pro as I can count on it being better, easier to use, faster and more secure than the last. Almost all my work is done from FileMaker Pro when connected to a FileMaker database on a server even if that server is just another Mac in my office. Because I work on the databases of my clients, I carefully evaluate new FileMaker versions on copies of the originals.

You could say I wasted my money on the iPad Air 4, but its a pandemic and I love the green!Ĭlaris FileMaker Pro 19 came out on May 20 2020.

But, I also have the 2018 iPad Pro 11 which gives it a run for its money speed wise plus even better graphics. I do tend to acquire new iPads from time to time and the speed of the iPad Air 4 is a new high. It’s possible your mileage will vary, but I doubt it! FileMaker Go 19 is really smooth. In case you weren’t using an iPad to access your FileMaker files over a network, you may be blown away by the speed in a local area network situation.

OK, this is ALL of Claris’ Documentation in one page, just click FileMaker 19 once you get there. This is the link for you: FileMaker 19 Documentation That is unless you aren’t running at least Mojave. It’s running well and this is on my several Macs in addition to my new M1 MacBook Air. Always get those little point releases on a new MacOS. But now that FileMaker is getting more version point releases, Claris and FileMaker were ready for Big Sur. Until Big Sur came out, FileMaker 19 was certified by Claris to run on two: MacOS 10.14 Mojave and MacOS 10.15 Catalina. Now, just like usual, Claris supports 2-3 MacOS versions at a time. And they’ve been working great on 19.2 and Big Sur 11.1.

And, I also do run “old” not mission critical things – like backup copies directly on my M1 Air. I am careful on these things, so have opened anything precious over the network on my current FileMaker Server 18 running Mac mini 2018. Lucky me, Claris released FileMaker Pro 19.2 about a week ago and tweaked it to work even better on Big Sur than it did on 19.1.
