We are very excited to announce the availability of the Wakanda production release! Many thanks to the thousands of beta testers who've provided time and feedback to help us improve Wakanda. The entire Wakanda team is proud to offer you Wakanda in all its glory, in both open source and commercial versions.

The open source offering is available as Wakanda Community Edition (Scout). You get unlimited development, community support, and unlimited open source deployment at no cost. You may download the open source version of Wakanda at http://wakanda.org/downloads

A Wakanda subscription plan (Warrior) brings developers who do not wish to share their code unlimited development, unlimited royalty-free deployment and premium forum support at $35/month (or $349/year, a savings of $71 or two months’ worth) per developer, with no obligation. The commercial license is available for purchase at 4D’s new Wakanda store: https://store.4D.com/wakanda
