HPCC Systems 7.0.0 Beta is now available

[lchapman]

While we add the finishing touches to HPCC Systems 7.0.0, we have made this Beta release available, to give you a preview of the features and enhancements you can expect to see in the gold version. We have made a number of performance improvements and there are some great new features for you to try in our user interfaces, ECL language and library.

Good news for WsSQL users! You no longer need to download a separate package to use WsSQL. It is now integrated into the HPCC Systems platform package. If you already have a separate WsSQL package installed, please uninstall it before you upgrade to avoid potential compatibility issues.

Do you use Spark? Try our new Spark-HPCC Systems Connector. In our Beta version, you have the ability to read Thor files natively from Spark. We are working towards including the write capability for the gold version of our 7.0.0 release.
