FarCry 4.0 Beta (code-named Gonzales) has been released to the public for Beta testing (currently from SVN).
So what's changed? This release was aimed at developer improvements (although the user hasn't been forgotten). Here are a few off the top of my head:
- New Installer (you asked... you begged... so hear it is in all its glory :)
- New Custom Type Features for Developers
- New object broker
- Form Tools
- Form Wizards
- Other cool stuff
- New Client Features
- AJAX features for seamless user interaction
- New UI features like drag & drop and other cool web 2.0(ish) gadgets
Other things to keep in mind:
- The current plan is to have the minimum CF version support be CF7. This may or may not change by the final release, however it is something you should consider if planning using FarCry 4.0.
- Because this is a Beta there will likely be bugs.
- Currently there is little-to-no documentation for Gonzales.
- Please refer any Beta questions (related to bugs or features) to the FarCry Beta Mailing list.

Thanks for the comments. The real people to thank, however, are Daemon Internet Consultants (http://www.daemon.com.au/) for developing the application (and framework). I only play a very small part in the FarCry user community evangelizing the product as best I can :).
2. When I try to run installer on MySQL 5, I get this message:
'You need to have Create_tmp_table_priv privilege set to true for your MySQL user'
As far as I can tell this privilege is set for the user on the DB I am using.
Any suggestions?
Scott,
I suggest posting your question to the FarCry Beta Mailing list and go from there (I'd take a look at this, but I'm running out the door). Thanks for being brave and helping us find bugs! :)
You know, FarCry (the framework and CMS) was originally released to the public as an open source product in April 2003 (and before that was a closed product). The video game you're referring to wasn't released until March 2004. But being that they have no relation to each other and target completely different audiences I don't believe it even matters.
