    The Rocket MultiValue team is happy to share that we've released version 2.5.0 of the MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS) 

    You can now compile and catalog BASIC program files directly in Online Editing Mode, and even process multiple files simultaneouslyThe benefits of online editing and compiling include simple sharing mechanisms, simplified build mechanism, access to modern IDE features and quick setup with pre-installed runtimes, SKDs, and dev tools in VS Online.   

    Currently, you can find this feature in the BASIC Developers Toolkit and we've included it for your convenience in MVVS. In addition, you can now customize the remote procedure call (RPC) service name (only in offline mode), if you don't want to use the default RPC service provided by the U2 server; for example, if you want a shorter timeout in this service call which saves resources.  You could also take advantage of this feature to improve security. 

    We've also included three bug fixes that increase ease of use:  

    • You can use the offline mode compilation commands (executed in online editing mode) without error messages 

    • If you're running MVVS on Linux, you'll find the correct file paths  

    • We've resolved the online editing mode initialization issues on Linux  

    MVVS supports UniData 8.2+ and Universe 11.3+, including the latest version of UniVerse – 14.1.1. 

    Rocket MV BASIC for VS Code quickly makes developers new to MultiValue productiveGive it a try

    Mary, thank you for the updates, and to the team for such an awesome tool!

    There's been announcements about MVVS having Universe debugger support now, and Unidata on the roadmap?  Is there a rough timeframe for Unidata? E.g. 2024Q4 or 2025Q1?  I'm working with a customer and trying to nudge them in the direction of more modern dev tools, and a visual debugger would be a helpful "wow!" factor in getting them excited about switching.

    Thanks again!

    Ian

    Hi Ian,

    Thank you so much for your question and patience in getting an answer.  I'm so glad that you and your team are finding MVVS an awesome tool.  As you probably know, we do have offline debugger support for UniData.  I don't have the roadmap completely fleshed out for 2025, but I would think that by 2Q 2025 we could have it completed.  Your ask will definitely help us keep it high on the priority list.

    Kindest regards,

    Mary
