What's Great in the next FME?

This is the What's Great for 2011: You may want What's Great in FME2010

---

Long-time FME'ers will know that with each release of FME we issue a list of "What's Great" with that version. That list gets built up and added to as we work through the beta cycle of that product.

Now we're making that list open to public viewing before the release. So here's what's going to be great about FME 2011 - and remember to check back here for regular updates.

Warning

As with any beta version, be aware that it is subject to change and the functionality might not be the final version.

We don't really recommend using a beta for production work unless there's a specific bug fix that you need.
