Fast Networking
Fast Networking is laying the groundwork for the next generation of Client connection.
Chapter 421 Big Business 16
BigBusiness 16 is being readied for next year and the next advancement in networking.
This means building it now, to test, before the final Database is even available (2026). So it is an Alpha built on a Beta, as it were, but an early look at whatever comes next.
What is being readied for is AI anywhere, that changes Systems and Apps you rely on. BigBusiness had some issues with Office 365, for example, right when Copilot started.
Local Network
Local Network is protected by new macOS. BigBusiness 16 Server needs permission to broadcast availability and allow connection from Clients, so please Allow if asked.
Rounded Buttons
Rounded Buttons in Icon Prefs like Classic or Xi needed more space to display fully.
This fix is in the new Database in BigBusiness 16 and is not fixable in BigBusiness 15.
Icon sets that do not use rounded corners are not affected by this problem. Choose your Icon Prefs in My Prefs founr on the Employee toolbar or on the Contact toolbar.
