This release is part of MIT’s migration to</span></font><font class=""><span class=""> </span></font><a href="http://hana.sap.com/abouthana.html" target="_blank" class=""><font class=""><span class=""><font class=""><span class="">HANA</span></font></span></font></a><font class=""><span class="">,
SAP’s next-generation in-memory database.

mobile-first development, and rapid deployment of applications. Even with these added capabilities, the look and feel of SAPgui 7.40 is nearly identical to the earlier version.</span></font><font class=""><span class=""><br class="">
