360Works has released updates for use with computers which have installed Java 6 Update 18. These updates are primarily for compatibility with the new Java update on Windows, but also include other updates and bug fixes. It is recommended that all users update to the newest versions of all plugins which they have installed in order to avoid compatibility issues with the new version of Java. Download the latest versions of our plugins from http://360works.com/products/.

We have released version 1.0 of our new product, the 360Works Web Services Manager. This application exposes your FileMaker scripts as SOAP web services, allowing you to integrate your FileMaker database with other SOAP-compatible software solutions. The web services published by the 360Works Web Services Manager are indistinguishable from any other SOAP server, meaning you can pull and push information to your FileMaker database from otherwise incompatible software solutions. Read more about this on the Web Services Manager product page. http://360works.com/web-services-manager/
