Windows -> OTL Cross-platform -> ??? I dont think OTL in cross-platform mode is a possibility in the near short-mid future, so PPL must do for any FMX development. Hopefully they will keep improving it, cause we dont have a choice unless we want to jump into using our own implementations and I dont trust myself with that. 🙂

Hi Team, D10.3.2. - Where/how do I check/confirm what patches I have or haven't installed into my Delphi? With the several Patches so far, I am uncertain which ones I have actually installed. I see docwiki,emb..... says there is a 'Check for Updates' allegedly in my Program Menu but there isn't. Regards & TIA, Ian

I'm attempting a new release of DDService adding support for XE7 and later. Collected original SvcMgr.pas files from all versions if Delphi, think I have to update each new one to DDSvMrg,pas and then create DIFF files using WinMerge. Not too hard, since there is only a single service bug fix (quoting image path) in 15 years and Arno fixed that in 2008. But are there any other service handler bugs in DDService that should be fixed for a new release? I also want to add an example of how to use DDService for dual GUI/service , there is a demo CombiService on my system but not tried it and not sure where it came from Has anyone done this with DDService?

I have seen many people report many problems with the PPL over the years. And for that reason, I REFUSE to ever use the PPL at all. I don't trust it. It hasn't worked right since day 1, and Embarcadero just can't seem to get it right. I prefer to stay in control of my own threads.
