History
Development began in 1986 under Matisse Software. Initially focused on object-oriented data management, the system evolved into a post-relational database supporting multiple programming interfaces including .NET, Java, Python, and Objective-C. Version 9 was released in the mid-2000s with updates for Mac OS X and replication features.
