I also always try to avoid Πρόωρη εκσπερμάτωση.

I guess so:

I felt the same when AnyDAC, now FireDAC, was sold to EMB (or whatever was its name back then) when I just paid its renewal for another year. Needless to say I never got my money back nor got access to FireDAC which I avoid since then because of such attitude. Luckily, DevArt (UniDAC) offered a great alternative. I just hope that FmxLinux and CrossVCL will remain property of KSDev.

Hmm.. I am not using ICS, but I have a small testtool for MultiCast made with INDY 10. It's done with D6, but you could use it for a local test... (Indy 10 is only in the search path, not added to the zip.. 😉 ) Test_INDY_Multicast.zip

It still baffles me that DXScene or VGScene were usable given the years it took FMX to properly work.

Known issue: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-20760 Maybe with the reworked tooling based on LSP in 10.4 it will work.

I don't see this announcement as a good sign. From the management/project point of view, they bought a license from the FMX initial developper, who left EMB last year (IIRC) to re-create his own company https://www.fmxlinux.com - EMB dev team was not able to do it on their own anymore. Sad. I worry about Delphi future if they need to rely on external coders for new targets or features. From the technical point of view, Linux was supported - with FPC as compiler - 10 years ago http://web.archive.org/web/20091213100642/http://www.ksdev.com/dxscene/index.html when FMX was called DXScene. So is it a real progress to be able to have back a feature I got 10 years ago, when I bought my lifetime licence to DXScene? BTW the "LifeTime" of my DXScene license did last 1 year only, since it stopped when EMB bought DXScene - I really felt it was some kind of theft at that time. Now their "LifeTime" license is $349 - I really wonder if it is worth it...

Nice although not my target platform (yet)! But I'd rather see CodeInsightPlus integrated

I'd prefer CrossVCL, but anyway this is a good step.
