Announcing Oracle APEX 18.1

joelkallman-Oracle May 24, 2018 2:42 PM

Oracle Application Express (APEX) 18.1 is now generally available! APEX enables you to develop, design and deploy beautiful, responsive, data-driven desktop and mobile applications using only a browser. This release of APEX is a dramatic leap forward in both the ease of integration with remote data sources, and the easy inclusion of robust, high-quality application features.

Keeping up with the rapidly changing industry, APEX now makes it easier than ever to build attractive and scalable applications which integrate data from anywhere - within your Oracle database, from a remote Oracle database, or from any REST Service, all with no coding. And the new APEX 18.1 enables you to quickly add higher-level features which are common to many applications - delivering a rich and powerful end-user experience without writing a line of code.

"Over a half million developers are building Oracle Database applications today using Oracle Application Express (APEX). Oracle APEX is a low code, high productivity app dev tool which combines rich declarative UI components with SQL data access. With the new 18.1 release, Oracle APEX can now integrate data from REST services with data from SQL queries. This new functionality is eagerly awaited by the APEX developer community", said Andy Mendelsohn, Executive Vice President of Database Server Technologies at Oracle Corporation.

Yes, these already examples of people having done so on twitter.

Historically, migrating applications is pretty easy. Plenty of discussions exist on this topic already.

Migrating themes is the tricky part.

Hello Joel,
many thanks to all of the APEX team for the new version but I'm a bit confused with the new numbering scheme...
In the new numbering scheme is not obvious what is a major and minor version, which is really important in case of APEX. Previously there were minor releases (bugfixes) and these minor versions were released either as a complete APEX installation or as a patchset available only for registered customers. APEX 18.1 is clearly a major version, so here is no doubt that it needs a full installation but but please, could you clarify how it's going to be in the future? How will we know that something is a new major version or will it from now on always be possible to upgrade APEX just with a patchset (which would be certainly great).
Thank you,
Pavel
