Changed and removed features
Features changed in FileMaker Pro
1 Layout mode – Some features have been changed or removed in
Layout mode.
1 Plug-in updating – Plug-in updating has been simplified. You now store
plug-ins in solution files and install updates from container fields. The
Auto Update plug-in has been removed from FileMaker Pro.
1 Table View sorting – Instead of clicking a column heading to sort data,
you now choose from the shortcut menu for the column. This makes
sorting more predictable and allows for selection of one or more column
headers in order to perform additional actions on the associated fields.
