external classes and on-demand loading of program code.

Installation and Upgrade
Please refer to the Eloquence B.08.20 installation documents below
for an overview of Eloquence installation and platform specific details,
as well as information on updated License Keys.
Compatibility
Eloquence B.08.20 is upwards compatible with previous Eloquence versions.
A database created with B.08.20 should not be used with previous Eloquence releases.
However, it is supported to move databases to older releases when no new
functionality is used.
Programs modified with the B.08.20 programming language will refuse to load with
previous Eloquence releses if incompatible functionality is used that would
cause older Eloquence releases to abort.
