Let’s\u00a0start with the\u00a0numbers: the\u00a0version\u00a0Claris\u00a0released\u00a0this\u00a0year\u00a0is\u00a0version\u00a026.\u00a0<\/p>
This year finally brings the long-awaited alignment between version numbers and calendar years. While FileMaker 2025 was internally version 22, FileMaker 2026 jumps directly to version 26, skipping the missing numbers and eliminating any confusion once and for all. <\/p>
FileMaker 2026 can connect to any FileMaker Server version later than version 21. This means that any older client or server deployment must be upgraded. As always, the specific requirements are available on the official Claris technical specifications page. <\/p>
Version numbering aside, FileMaker 2026 is one of those releases that leaves a lasting impression because it delivers meaningful improvements across virtually every layer of the platform. <\/p>
Not everyone uses every part of FileMaker. Some developers work exclusively within FileMaker Pro. Others build custom JavaScript integrations inside Web Viewers. Some manage servers. Others deploy WebDirect applications. Some are actively experimenting with AI. Others rely heavily on command-line tooling. And some would rather avoid all of those topics entirely. <\/p>
Every FileMaker developer has a different workflow and a different set of priorities. <\/p>
That is precisely what makes this release so remarkable. <\/p>
Rather than focusing on a single headline feature, FileMaker 2026 delivers something useful\u2014and in some cases essential\u2014to almost every type of user. There are substantial improvements to server infrastructure, a major acceleration of AI-related capabilities, significant enhancements to XML workflows and command-line tools, and a long list of development features that directly impact those building solutions every day. <\/p>
Taken together, these changes make FileMaker 2026 one of the most compelling releases of the last fifteen years. <\/p>
What stands out most is how many previously separate technologies have now been brought together into a coherent whole. Features that were originally introduced to solve different problems are finally starting to work together as part of a broader platform strategy. <\/p>
Over the last few years, Claris has invested heavily in improving the reliability and operational continuity of the platform. FileMaker 2026 directly addresses some of the most common criticisms historically raised against FileMaker Server\u2014namely that it lacks flexibility, scalability, and enterprise-grade resilience. <\/p>
This release introduces several important improvements in those areas. <\/p>
FileMaker Server has always offered a robust backup system\u2014provided your backups remained on the same machine. <\/p>
Moving backups to a network volume typically required third-party tools, while implementing cloud-based backup strategies often involved custom solutions and significant complexity, especially for larger deployments. <\/p>
With FileMaker Server 2026, remote cloud backups become a native feature. Backups can now be stored directly on a Claris-managed platform built on AWS infrastructure, making offsite backup management significantly simpler. <\/p>
As with most AWS-based services, organizations can select the geographic region where their backups are stored. The service is licensed separately from FileMaker licensing and is available as an optional add-on. <\/p>
By default, backups are replicated every twenty minutes. In the event of data loss\u2014whether caused by hardware failure, ransomware, or human error\u2014recovery can be initiated directly from the Admin Console without requiring manual intervention on the underlying infrastructure. <\/p>
FileMaker Server is not a monolithic application. It consists of numerous independent services, including the server-side scripting engine, web publishing engine, Data API services, backup engine, Admin Console, and several others. <\/p>
Occasionally, one of these services may stop responding while the rest of the server continues operating, resulting in degraded functionality and often requiring manual intervention through command-line tools or, in some cases, a full server restart. <\/p>
FileMaker Server 2026 introduces automatic recovery for several key services. If the fmscwpc, fmwipd, or fmodata services become unresponsive, FileMaker Server will attempt to restart them automatically before administrator intervention becomes necessary. <\/p>
While not a headline feature, this enhancement can significantly reduce downtime and support overhead in production environments. <\/p>
One of the most significant additions in FileMaker 2026 is the new Standby Server capability. <\/p>
Historically, one of the biggest challenges in FileMaker deployments has been determining what happens when the primary server becomes unavailable. Other enterprise platforms have long relied on clustering and failover technologies to address this problem. <\/p>
Until now, FileMaker primarily supported auxiliary servers for web publishing or AI workloads, often combined with external load balancers and custom infrastructure configurations. <\/p>
FileMaker Server 2026 fundamentally changes this approach. <\/p>
Administrators can now configure a dedicated standby server that remains synchronized with the primary server through continuous log shipping. In the event of an outage, the standby server can be activated with a single click. <\/p>
The entire configuration process is managed through the Admin Console. Communication between servers is secured through SSH, and the solution works across physical hardware, virtual machines, and Docker-based deployments. <\/p>
From a business continuity perspective, this is arguably one of the most important architectural improvements ever introduced to the FileMaker platform. <\/p>
Historically, FileMaker Server supported only a single SASE (Server-side Script Engine) process per machine. <\/p>
As solutions grew in complexity and API integrations became more common, this single execution engine increasingly became a bottleneck for high-volume environments. <\/p>
FileMaker Server 2026 introduces support for multiple SASE processes running in parallel on the same server. <\/p>
This allows server-side scripting workloads to be distributed more effectively, increasing throughput and improving scalability under load. <\/p>
While this feature will be particularly attractive to enterprise deployments and hosting providers, it can also reduce performance bottlenecks in busy mid-sized solutions that rely heavily on server-side automation. <\/p>
A number of core libraries and platform components have been updated, including: <\/p>
In addition, Web Publishing now runs on JDK 21 instead of JDK 17. <\/p>
These updates may not seem particularly exciting to most developers, but they are critically important in enterprise environments where outdated libraries often become compliance and security concerns. <\/p>
Keeping infrastructure components current makes it significantly easier for organizations to satisfy internal security requirements and pass compliance reviews\u2014an issue that can delay or even prevent deployments in larger organizations. <\/p>
FileMaker Server 2026 is also officially certified for: <\/p>
WebDirect also receives a collection of practical improvements focused on usability, accessibility, and infrastructure. <\/p>
One of the most noticeable changes is the removal of the “Action in Progress” dialog that previously appeared while resizing browser windows\u2014a long-standing annoyance in everyday use. <\/p>
Accessibility support has also improved considerably. Keyboard navigation now includes ARIA support and visual indicators for the currently active element, making WebDirect more suitable for environments where accessibility requirements are mandatory, including healthcare, government, and enterprise applications. <\/p>
Several dialogs have also been refined. For example, record export dialogs now display custom field labels rather than internal field names, improving consistency with the desktop client experience. <\/p>
On the infrastructure side, WebDirect now supports: <\/p>
Individually, these may seem like small improvements. Together, they contribute to a noticeably smoother and more mature WebDirect experience. <\/p>
Command-line tools\u2014now essential components of any serious FileMaker development workflow\u2014also receive substantial improvements in FileMaker 2026. Three additions stand out in particular. <\/p>
Save a Copy as XML<\/strong> has finally evolved beyond being an alternative version of the old DDR. It is now a genuinely useful development tool. Developers can choose which of the twenty available catalogs to export, split output into separate files by catalog, and control where binary data is stored. The entire process can be automated through the –saveAsXML parameter in FMDeveloperTool. For anyone using Git or other version control systems with FileMaker projects, this is the closest thing yet to a truly practical workflow. <\/p> FMUpgradeTool<\/strong> now gains the ability to generate .fmp12 files directly from XML, turning what was previously a one-way process into a bidirectional workflow. Export the file, modify the XML, regenerate the FileMaker file. The possibilities for automation, large-scale refactoring, and development tooling are significant, although the tool still has some documented limitations worth understanding before relying on it in production. <\/p> FMDeveloperTool<\/strong> can now change database account passwords directly from the command line. Additionally, the –sortBySize option now returns Table IDs aligned with those found in the TopCallStats.log file. A small enhancement, perhaps, but an extremely useful one for developers investigating performance bottlenecks. <\/p> We’ve covered these command-line improvements in greater depth in a dedicated article, including how they connect with FileMaker’s new schema metadata features for AI. <\/p> AI for Everyone <\/p> The AI enhancements in FileMaker 2026 are broad and comprehensive, spanning both FileMaker Server and FileMaker Pro. More importantly, they reveal a level of architectural consistency that suggests Claris is no longer simply adding AI features\u2014they are building an AI platform. <\/p> On the server side, Claris AI Model Server<\/strong> receives substantial upgrades. <\/p> Python has been updated from version 3.9 to 3.12, dependency updates can now be performed directly from the Admin Console, and Ubuntu deployments running NVIDIA GPUs now support vLLM<\/strong>, a high-performance inference engine that can dramatically improve response times when working with larger language models. <\/p> On Apple Silicon Macs, models can now run natively, including support for OpenAI’s open-source gpt-oss<\/strong> model optimized for Apple’s unified memory architecture. <\/p> The administration experience has also been significantly improved. Each model now has its own dedicated configuration dialog, detected AI hardware\u2014including available VRAM\u2014is displayed directly within the Admin Console, and administrators can now interact with loaded models through a built-in Chat interface without leaving the management environment. <\/p> A particularly important security improvement is that API key authentication is now enabled by default for new installations. In previous releases, this feature was optional and frequently overlooked. <\/p> The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system also receives significant improvements on both the server and client sides. <\/p> On the server side, Claris has introduced: <\/p> On the FileMaker Pro side, the Perform RAG Action [Send Prompt] script step now accepts dynamic parameters for similarity threshold and result count, providing much finer control over retrieval behavior. <\/p> Meanwhile, Perform RAG Action [Add Data] now returns the ID of the newly added document, making individual imports fully traceable and considerably easier to manage in larger implementations. <\/p> FileMaker Pro also expands its supported AI providers with the addition of Google Gemini<\/strong>, including support for both Text Generation and Text Embedding operations. <\/p> This is more than simply adding another model provider. <\/p> With Gemini, developers can now submit images as part of AI prompts, opening the door to visual analysis workflows based on images stored directly within FileMaker container fields. <\/p> Importantly, existing AI script steps continue to work with Gemini without requiring structural changes to existing solutions. <\/p> Another important development is the growing role of schema metadata as AI context. <\/p> New functions such as: <\/p> allow table comments and field-level annotations to become accessible at runtime. <\/p> Combined with the new JSON-based annotation system and the ability to selectively include or exclude fields from the DDL sent to language models, these features represent a significant step toward AI systems that can understand a FileMaker solution’s structure rather than simply infer it from field names. <\/p> We’ve covered this topic in more detail in our article on command-line tools, because that is ultimately where all of these pieces start to come together. <\/p> One practical addition deserves special mention. <\/p> The new CURLOPT_TIMEOUT parameter available in Text Generation script steps allows developers to explicitly define a timeout value in seconds. <\/p> This prevents scripts from waiting indefinitely for a response that may never arrive. <\/p> Developers working with smaller open-source models\u2014or simply less reliable AI endpoints\u2014already know exactly how valuable this seemingly simple addition can be. <\/p> Let’s finally get to the FileMaker Pro improvements. <\/p> This release includes a mix of long-awaited features, smaller quality-of-life enhancements, and a handful of additions aimed at very specific use cases. As usual, some will impact nearly every developer, while others will only matter to a niche audience. <\/p> Let’s start with the headliners. <\/p> Here is my personal Top 5 list of the most useful additions for day-to-day FileMaker development. <\/p> PDF workflows are now fully scriptable. <\/p> Developers can create, open, append to, print, and save PDF documents entirely through native script steps, without requiring plug-ins and without opening FileMaker Pro itself. <\/p> This closes one of the platform’s longest-standing gaps. <\/p> The feature is significant enough that we’ve dedicated an entire article to exploring its capabilities in detail. <\/p> Field behavior can now be controlled through a Boolean calculation directly in the Inspector. <\/p> Previously, fields were essentially either editable or not. Now developers can allow users to select, click, and scroll within a field without allowing modifications. Even more importantly, this behavior can be driven dynamically by calculations based on: <\/p> This eliminates a remarkable number of workarounds. <\/p> Looking back at my last ten projects, I would have used this feature in nine and a half of them. <\/p> Finally. <\/p> The Export Field Contents<\/strong> script step has long been available on the client side, but using it within server-side scripts required a plug-in or a workaround. <\/p> With FileMaker 2026, it becomes fully native and available in: <\/p> It’s one of those features that feels obvious in hindsight and immediately simplifies a wide range of document-processing and integration workflows. <\/p> The Show Custom Dialog<\/strong> script step can now position and size dialogs using calculations. <\/p> Developers can define dimensions and screen coordinates dynamically, allowing dialogs to adapt to context, screen size, workflow stage, or user preferences. <\/p> This has been a long-standing request and finally makes truly adaptive dialog interfaces possible without resorting to creative hacks. <\/p> Zoom is no longer limited to predefined values. <\/p> FileMaker 2026 allows zoom levels to be set to any decimal percentage, including through script. <\/p> This is particularly useful for: <\/p> A small enhancement on paper, but one with surprisingly broad practical applications. <\/p> Beyond the headline features, FileMaker 2026 includes a number of smaller improvements that can significantly improve the daily development experience. <\/p> Sorting options for Custom Functions have finally returned. <\/p> Functions can now be organized by: <\/p> and sorting works throughout the entire folder hierarchy. <\/p> Anyone maintaining solutions with dozens\u2014or even hundreds\u2014of custom functions (yes, those systems absolutely exist) will appreciate this immediately. <\/p> FileMaker Pro for macOS introduces a redesigned Inspector while still allowing developers to switch back to the classic version if preferred. <\/p> The new Inspector reduces the interface from four tabs to two: <\/p> More importantly, it only displays options relevant to the currently selected object. <\/p> For developers who spend their days building layouts, this translates directly into less visual clutter and a more focused design experience. <\/p> The classic Inspector remains available for those who prefer the traditional workflow. <\/p> This new function returns the number of days remaining before the current account password expires. <\/p> A simple addition, but one that finally allows developers to implement proactive password-expiration warnings without complicated workarounds. <\/p> GetRecordIDsFromFoundSet() now accepts an optional parameter that allows developers to specify a table occurrence or a portal. <\/p> The function can therefore return IDs from related record sets directly, opening up additional possibilities for navigation, relationship management, and advanced scripting scenarios. <\/p> Several smaller enhancements are scattered throughout the platform: <\/p> None of these features will make headlines. <\/p> But for the developers who need them, they eliminate friction, reduce workaround code, and make day-to-day development just a little bit smoother\u2014which is often where the biggest productivity gains actually come from. <\/p> This section is for developers who already know what add-ons, JavaScript, DDL, and the Data Migration Tool are. Everyone else can safely skip it without missing anything important\u2014or read it out of curiosity and promptly forget about it. <\/p> This may be the quietest addition in FileMaker 2026, but it is arguably one of the most important for developers building JavaScript add-ons or complex solutions that rely on Data Migration Tool for deployments and upgrades. <\/p> Until now, storing persistent configuration and state information inside a FileMaker solution required various workarounds: <\/p> Draco Catalog introduces a native key-value storage mechanism accessible through a new script step (Configure Persistent Data) and dedicated calculation functions. <\/p> The data survives server restarts and\u2014most importantly\u2014survives Data Migration Tool operations. <\/p> For anyone building reusable frameworks, configurable add-ons, or distributed solutions, this is a major architectural improvement. <\/p> These two new calculation functions expose table comments and AI field annotations at runtime. <\/p> What was previously metadata hidden within development tools can now become part of the application itself. <\/p> These functions provide the foundation for: <\/p> As discussed earlier in the command-line tools section, this is one of the areas where FileMaker’s AI strategy starts to reveal a deeper level of integration. <\/p> FileMaker’s FQL parser now supports FOREIGN KEY syntax within CREATE TABLE statements executed through DDL. <\/p> This allows relationships between tables to be defined directly in SQL. <\/p> The feature is particularly useful in automated schema generation scenarios\u2014including those where an AI agent is generating the DDL itself\u2014and moves FileMaker closer to the relational database semantics that modern LLMs already understand natively. <\/p> Honestly, this one is pretty cool. <\/p> Developers can now restrict the management of Custom Functions to Full Access accounts, either globally or through specific privilege sets. <\/p> This is particularly useful in distributed solutions where framework logic should be protected from accidental modifications by client-side developers. <\/p> It also opens up interesting possibilities for developers using Custom Functions as a mechanism for storing protected configuration data. <\/p> The Data Viewer now requires the Manage databases, data sources, containers, and custom functions<\/strong> privilege in Advanced Security settings. <\/p> This may sound like a small change, but it is extremely valuable in multi-developer environments where not everyone should be able to inspect runtime data. <\/p> Sometimes the smallest security improvements have the biggest impact. <\/p> FileMaker 2026 is not a maintenance release. <\/p> Nor is it a release built around a single headline feature. <\/p> Instead, it delivers meaningful improvements across multiple layers of the platform simultaneously: infrastructure, development tools, AI, server architecture, and everyday developer workflows. <\/p> What stands out most is the consistency behind these changes. <\/p> For years, FileMaker releases tended to move one area of the platform forward while leaving others waiting for attention. FileMaker 2026 feels different. The various pieces are beginning to work together as part of a broader strategy. <\/p> For the first time in a long while, the platform feels genuinely more complete. <\/p> Or at least much closer to it. <\/p> FileMaker 2026 delivers a wide range of improvements across the entire platform. These include significant upgrades to FileMaker Server such as remote cloud backups, automatic service recovery, and a new standby server capability. The release also expands AI functionality, enhances command-line tools, improves WebDirect usability and accessibility, and introduces new developer features like fully scriptable PDF workflows and dynamic field interaction based on calculations.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n FileMaker 2026 is considered a major release because it brings meaningful improvements across multiple layers of the platform simultaneously. Instead of focusing on a single feature, Claris has enhanced infrastructure, scalability, AI integration, developer tooling, and user experience. This level of consistency across the platform marks a shift toward a more unified and mature ecosystem.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n FileMaker 2026 can connect to FileMaker Server versions later than version 21. This means that older deployments must be upgraded to ensure proper compatibility. This requirement ensures access to the latest platform features and guarantees optimal performance and security.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n FileMaker Server 2026 introduces several important improvements designed to address long-standing limitations. These include native remote cloud backups hosted on AWS infrastructure, automatic recovery of critical services, a new standby server system for improved business continuity, and support for multiple server-side scripting processes. Together, these enhancements significantly improve reliability, scalability, and operational resilience.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n The standby server feature allows administrators to configure a secondary server that remains synchronized with the primary server through continuous log shipping. In the event of a failure or outage, the standby server can be activated quickly via the Admin Console. This feature reduces downtime and provides a more robust failover strategy for production environments.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n FileMaker 2026 significantly expands its AI capabilities across both server and client environments. Improvements include upgrades to Claris AI Model Server, better model management within the Admin Console, enhanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) functionality, and improved performance when running large language models. These enhancements reflect a broader strategy to integrate AI directly into the platform.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n Yes, FileMaker 2026 introduces support for Google Gemini as an additional AI provider. Developers can use it for text generation and text embedding, and it also enables image-based prompts. This allows developers to create workflows that analyze images stored directly in FileMaker container fields without requiring major changes to existing scripts.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n Developer workflows are enhanced through several improvements, including more powerful command-line tools, expanded XML export and import capabilities, and better automation options. These changes make it easier to integrate FileMaker with version control systems and streamline development processes. Additionally, schema metadata can now be leveraged more effectively, especially in AI-related use cases.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n WebDirect in FileMaker 2026 includes a range of usability and accessibility improvements. Keyboard navigation has been enhanced with ARIA support and visual indicators, and several interface elements have been refined for better consistency. Performance issues, such as delays in tab navigation, have been addressed, resulting in a smoother and more responsive user experience.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n FileMaker Pro 2026 introduces several key features for developers. These include fully scriptable PDF management, allowing documents to be created and manipulated without plug-ins, dynamic control over field behavior using calculations, server-side support for exporting field contents, customizable dialog positioning, and flexible zoom control through scripting. These additions simplify development and reduce the need for workarounds.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n Scalability is improved through support for multiple server-side script engine (SASE) processes running in parallel. This allows workloads to be distributed more efficiently across the server, reducing bottlenecks and improving performance in high-demand environments. These enhancements are particularly valuable for larger deployments and systems with heavy automation.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n Businesses may consider upgrading to FileMaker 2026 to benefit from increased reliability, better disaster recovery options, improved scalability, and expanded AI capabilities. The platform also offers more efficient development workflows and stronger infrastructure support, making it a compelling upgrade for organizations looking to modernize their systems.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s start with the numbers: the version Claris released this year is version 26.\u00a0This year finally brings the long-awaited alignment between version numbers and calendar years.
