The following changes include new SmartObjects that support Internet connectivity:
- A Simple SmartContainer that has no run-time representation, useful when creating modules that require no user interface
- A new, dynamic SmartDataObject that reduces the client-side memory requirement
- A new SmartBusinessObject that integrates up to twenty SmartDataObjects, allowing comprehensive updates in a single server-side transaction
- A new SmartB2BObject that transforms 4GL data to and from XML for use in business-to-business messaging
- New SmartSender and SmartReceiver objects that you can extend to create and handle a variety of message types
- A new SmartRouter object that distributes incoming documents for processing
New SmartProducer and SmartConsumer objects that provide a messaging interface to the Progress SonicMQ system.

AppBuilder
The changes to AppBuilder in Version 3.1B were:
Application Compiler
In Version 3.1B, the Application Compiler supports a new option to compile r-code to the minimum size allowable for execution. This more compact code eliminates r-code segment information needed only by the Application Debugger and the Open Client Toolkit.
PRO*Tools
For Version 3.1B, the XML Schema Mapping PRO*Tool was added to the PRO*Tools palette. The XML Schema Mapping PRO*Tool is useful for creating the mapping files required by the new SmartB2BObject.
