See it in action!
Automation Workshop v4.0 introduces FTP & Cloud actions
Automation Workshop 4th version is another major milestone that brings a completely redesigned user interface along with new cloud actions and triggers. As Windows 7 EOL is approaching rapidly, we have aligned the user experience to the new UI paradigm that matches Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019 user experience. While the new interface looks very modern and gorgeous, it does not add significant overhead to the very small memory footprint Automation Workshop has. We have even improved some code, so the newest version require event less memory while running complex tasks.
Triggers
We have crafted four new triggers that can monitor Amazon S3 file service or any FTP server, be it Linux or Windows based, with the latest security standards right out the box.
Actions
With our new FTP & Cloud action you can manipulate remote files in easy and secure manner. These actions are solid addition to Automation Workshop’s already existing comprehensive set of file and folder manipulation actions.
Desktop shortcut
We have heard your feedback! It is now possible to create a shortcut to the task on your desktop. Launch a task with a simple click on your desktop, without opening Automation Workshop every time you need to run a task.
As the Windows versions rapidly move on, we have also dropped support for .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 frameworks. Official support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 R2 are also ended.
New Website
As you may already noticed, the febooti.com website has also been fully redesigned, it has more pleasant typeface and it is fully compatible with the latest mobile browsing standards.
Stay with us, the year of 2020 will bring many more new features!

Automation Workshop just passed 1,000,000 (one million) downloads
It was just four years ago when we launched freeware version of Automation Workshop and at that moment the download count of commercial version passed over 300,000 mark.
Today Automation Workshop passed one million downloads (Free+Commercial). That’s about 700,000 downloads in 4 years.
We are very excited about accelerated growth of our flagship product. It took more than 3 years to achieve 100,000 downloads. And our free software offering clearly expanded our user-base behind what we have initially planned. What now? Setting a new goal – 2,000,000 🙂
Automation Workshop v3.0.0 is available for download
We have just released Automation Workshop v3.0.0 which introduces 18 new actions in three categories – addition to the File / Folder category, as well as brand new – Loops and Text categories. Long requested actions for text string manipulations and loops are finally there. Now it is possible to use custom named variables and tokens from Split text action. This release also focuses on many improvements and a few bug-fixes. Read detailed information in Release notes for v3.0.0.
Here is a screenshot from Split text action, that is very handy when extracting data from CSV (comma-separated values) files, or when need to get values embedded into filenames.

Hex Editor and Hash & CRC now works on Windows 10
We have just released two compatibility releases — one for Hex Editor and one for Hash / check-sum calculator. Now both are compatible with Microsoft newest operating system — Windows 10. And we have fixed one nasty bug in Hex Editor 64-bit version. It seems that Microsoft has begun using a new memory randomization algorithm, and Hex Editor crashed a lot on Windows 10 64-bit due to incorrect casting bug (truncated pointer).

[Fix] Class not found in Automation Workshop Free Edition
We have just fixed one nasty bug in the Setup file for Free Edition of Automation Workshop. It prevented running Example Tasks, and tasks that uses Dialog Boxes under Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, if Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 was not manually installed. Version number stays the same 2.3.0 – there are no other changes, only the Setup process was affected.
