Chris Pollach has had a busy summer. The Technical Evangelist at Software Tool & Die Inc. (STD) published six releases in a single week in August 2026. That includes a new version of the Integrated Foundation Class framework, 2026 R3, plus five updated demo and utility applications.

All six are rebuilt against PowerBuilder 2025 R2 GA (build 6430). Here is what shipped, and what it means for PowerBuilder teams.

Ultimate Suite for PowerBuilder 2026 R1 has been available since June 2026. Its headline additions are two new navigation controls that turn a standard PowerBuilder Menu into a modern, vertical side menu, with no need to rebuild your existing navigation.

The release also brings sharper high-resolution display support, an updated charting engine, and a round of enhancements and fixes.

Appeon has released PowerBuilder 2025 R2. Building on the IDE modernization introduced in PowerBuilder 2025, R2 focuses on three areas: developer productivity, application security, and environment compatibility.
