Version 11.0 was released October 2006, and was released for both 32- and 64-bit systems—Dyalog's first 64-bit release aside from a much earlier [[wikipedia:DEC Alpha|DEC Alpha]] release. It introduced [[object-oriented programming]] extensions designed to work like [[.NET]] and based technologically on the existing [[namespace]]s. The primary new features were classes, instances (objects), and interfaces, supporting inheritance, access control, and constructors and destructors. Instances could be placed in arrays, and [[empty]] arrays could store the class of an instance in the [[prototype]]. When instantiated (for instance by taking the [[First]] element of an empty array), a prototype object would be created using the class's [[niladic]] constructor, if present. Classes could interact with namespaces by importing their functions as methods. Dyalog's Windows GUI framework, already based on .NET classes, was integrated with the new Dyalog classes. | Version 11.0 was released October 2006, and was released for both 32- and 64-bit systems—Dyalog's first 64-bit release aside from a much earlier [[wikipedia:DEC Alpha|DEC Alpha]] release.

Version 12.0 was released in August 2008. It introduced full [[Unicode]] support to Dyalog APL, so that all [[character]] data in the new Unicode edition consisted of Unicode code points. However, a Classic edition without Unicode (retaining Dyalog's old APL character set) was also released. As of version 18.0, every later Dyalog release has included both Classic and Unicode interpreters. Unicode characters were supported by three new [[internal type]]s: 1-byte, 2-byte, or 4-byte code points could be used depending on the maximum code point in the string. In each case a single element is a single code point, so the 1-byte and 2-byte encodings are compressed versions of [[wikipedia:UTF-32|UTF-32]], and are unrelated to variable-width encodings like [[wikipedia:UTF-8|UTF-8]] and [[wikipedia:UTF-16|UTF-16]]. This change affected the way character data was sorted, because Dyalog's character set did not have the same ordering as Unicode. The change to Unicode allowed a more standard way of implementing keyboard input to be used. | Version 12.0 was released in August 2008.

Version 17.1 was released in October 2019, shortly after the [[Dyalog '19]] user meeting. It contains few new features and almost no performance changes. The primary changes to the language were to add the [[Dyalog APL Link|Link]] system using <source lang=apl inline>]LINK</source>, allow running Dyalog through [[wikipedia:Docker (software)|docker]] containers, and improve cross-platform support for [[HTMLRenderer]]. Additionally, Dyalog's licensing was changed to allow non-commercial users to download and run it for free, without applying for a non-commercial license from Dyalog. | Version 17.1 was released in October 2019, shortly after the [[Dyalog '19]] user meeting.
