At the time this paper is being written OpenInsight 7.0 has been officially released to the developer community for a few months. Its code name, “Leap Frog”, is a dual reference to the jump in version numbers (from 4.1.3a to 7.0) as well as the IDE and technological advances that were introduced.

However, this title might have just as well applied to version 4.1. Many significant improvements were introduced which largely seem to have gone unnoticed, perhaps because the Revelation community is not ready to exploit them yet. One of these features, OLE/OCX support, has been documented in our Using OLE in OpenInsight white paper.

This document will be the first in a possible series related to the new engine (aka OpenEngine.) It could be argued that the benefits from this enhancement are the most difficult to immediately visualize compared to the others. On the other hand, it could equally be said that the new OpenEngine can provide the greatest potential for enhancing the way OpenInsight applications are developed.
