Environment- File explorer: You can now choose the desired file explorer without leaving the environment. You can change these settings in the IDE general options ("Directories" tab).
Project editor- Improved interface: The term "CSS style" used in all of WEBDEV's UI has been replaced with "WEBDEV element style", which is more accurate name.
Controls from a WEBDEV project are associated with WEBDEV styles. WEBDEV styles are composed of multiple WEBDEV element styles.
WEBDEV element styles allow you to apply a specific characteristic to all the controls that use this element style. For example, you can create a WEBDEV element style to define the characteristics of the font used in all Button controls of a website.
Page editor- Image Editor control:
- Positioning and orientation EXIF data is now automatically taken into account.
- Table control
- The new "Frame / Background" element in the Style options allows you to define the frame and background characteristics of the Table control.
Help editorIt is now possible to insert a diagram created with the diagram editor into a help page.
Vaults- Project tests: You can now select the type of secret strings to be used in test mode (secret content or test content).
- Site deployment: If the site is tested with test content, you can specify the type of secret string to be used for deployment.
MVP programmingYou can now provide a model class that will be used to generate MVP models. This approach automatically implements the code that must be present in all generated models.
HFSQL server replication- The HFSQL Control Center now allows for single-channel, bidirectional HFSQL server replication.
- The SingleChannel property of hRSConfig variables allows you to define a single-channel replication.
SCM (Source Code Manager)- Same check-out/check-in UI, regardless of the number of elements being manipulated.
- Branch and directory deletion is now faster.
To take advantage of this optimization, use the latest version of the SCM repository. For more details, see SCM: Repository versions.
Git / Github / Gitlab- New properties in text format are available for both control and windows. It is now possible to see changes in these properties in the comparison tools.
- The history of a given element includes the changes made by the current user as well as those made by other users.
WLanguage programming- Support for XML arrays serialized as a sequence of elements::
The psdXMLArrayRepeatedElements constant is used to manage the serialization and deserialization of XML arrays that have been serialized as a sequence of elements (Serialize and Deserialize). - OOP:
It is now possible to pass a method from a class instance to an external API (API and CallDLL32 functions). - SQL Query variables: You can now define an SQL Query variable that uses another SQL query variable as source.
- New functions:
- HRSTransformSpareIntoServer: Transforms a Spare server into an HFSQL server. This makes it possible to delete replications of a spare server so that it can be used again. For example, this function can be used in the case of a master server that becomes unreachable.
- PDFVerifySignatures: Checks the validity of PDF signatures. If there are any invalid signatures, this function allows you to get their details.
- SaaSAdminSubscriptionListLicense: Lists SaaS subscription licenses associated with a user.
- Improved functions

| | New features and improvements specific to WEBDEV 2025 SaaS version (Update 2) |
These features are only available in the SaaS version of WEBDEV.
Note: To use these features, your project must be in "SaaS mode" (not available in dongle-based versions of WEBDEV). For more details, see Using SaaS-exclusive new features.
Page editor- Organizer control:
- Now you can customize appointments in an Organizer control by using Internal Pages. You can use the default internal page or an internal page of your project.
Code editor: - Empty lines in the code:
Now you can use a simple refactoring option to remove empty lines of code from a WLanguage process or event. - Sorting procedures and methods:
By default, procedures and methods are sorted according to the order in which they were created. Now, you can sort them alphabetically. This makes it easier to find your functions. - Copying WLanguage code to a third-party tool:
- Now, copied/pasted code always uses light theme colors. This means that code copied in dark theme won't be pasted with a dark background.
- Copied/pasted code now supports plain text and HTML. If you paste code in an application that supports HTML (e.g. Thunderbird or Outlook), it will be pasted directly using HTML formatting. Syntax highlighting uses the colors from the light theme.
- A new wizard for the RegexMatch function allows you to generate the desired code just by answering a few questions.
- New shortcuts for faster scrolling: Alt + mouse wheel / Alt + Shift + Mouse wheel.
WLanguage programming- Asynchronous Ajax: In the case of concurrent calls to a procedure, the <Asynchronous,LastCall> attribute makes it possible to take into account only the result of the last call.
- New functions in browser code:
- JSONValid: Checks the validity of a JSON string.
Digital signature- Ability to use a certificate on a smart card (RSA signature only).
CertificateSelect and CertificateList functions can now be used to select and list a certificate present on a smart card.
The different signature functions can use a certificate present on a smart card.
Report editor- Planning reports: You can now display weeks according to ISO 8601 ("ISO 8601 format" in the "General" tab of the Planning control description in a report).
Charts- To draw line charts without the segments (leaving only the points), simply pass the LineNone constant to grSeriesLineType.
Continuous integration - Software factory- New action to change the save format of project elements from "Text" to "Binary" (and vice versa).
SOAP webservices- You can now import SOAP webservices with descriptions containing multiple services with the same name. This functionality is particularly useful for web services associated with the Spanish electronic invoicing system.
SCM (Source Code Manager)- Detection of elements that are not in the latest version of the SCM repository:
- A notification appears in the "SCM" widget in the dashboard.
- Detection using the static audit.
Reminder: It is recommended to work with the latest version of the SCM repository to take advantage of all the new features and improvements. Otherwise, you may encounter performance issues.
Tools- Static audit:
- Detection of multilingual strings using obsolete technology.
- Source Code Manager (SCM) repository: Detection of outdated formats.
Reminder: It is recommended to work with the latest version of the SCM repository to take advantage of all the new features and improvements. Otherwise, you may encounter performance issues.
