TMS FNC Core

With the 1.7.1.0 release of the TMS FNC UI Pack we have introduced a TMS FNC Core separation. This means the TMS FNC Core needs to be installed as a prerequisite in order to successfully install the TMS FNC UI Pack. Apart from this separation, the new core setup will not introduce breaking changes in your application, as the file names for both the TMS FNC Core and TMS FNC UI Pack have remained the same. The separation gives us the benefit of writing components that all rely on a single core, instead of duplicating units that offer exactly the same features in multiple component sets. All current and future TMS FNC products will build upon this common core.

Custom Component Development for FNC

Now the TMS FNC Core is released, you'll have a series of units available that can be used to write custom components yourself for our FNC framework.
