Version history Bento ReleasesĪ Bento template was a pre-made library with all the forms necessary to catalog items within a certain context. Release schedule Ī public preview was made available alongside the initial product announcement on November 13, 2007, with the first final version released on January 8, 2008. It also included integration with Time Machine for backing up and required iCal 3.0 (later renamed Calendar) for live data editing. Certain actions, such as switching templates, used Core Animation to animate the transition. Compatibility īento was only compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or later due to its reliance on features not available in previous versions of the operating system. FileMaker announced on July 31, 2013, that it would discontinue Bento on September 30, 2013. By default, Bento's data sources included Apple's Address Book and Calendar (previously called iCal) applications, which it could modify directly. Bento differed significantly from the company's flagship product, FileMaker Pro, in that it relied heavily on templates and integration with other applications. Bento is a discontinued database application for Mac OS X made by the former FileMaker Inc., since renamed to Claris.
