Marco's announcement on the new blogs site: https://blogs.embarcadero.com/rad-studio-10-4-1-has-been-released/ Updated my wiki page with info on 10.4.1: https://github.com/ideasawakened/DelphiKB/wiki/D27.SYDNEY.10.4.1.0 RAD Studio 10.4.1 has a strong focus on quality improvements. Key quality focus areas include: IDE Delphi Code Insight (LSP) Parallel Library SOAP & XML C++ Toolchain FireMonkey VCL Delphi Compiler iOS Deployment New Features Packages can now have an automatic version suffix (instead of manually updating and specifying the right version suffix with each new release) New reader-write lock implementation via the new TLightweightMREW record Faster and more lightweight than the TMultiReadExclusiveWriteSynchronizer (TMREW) Works across all platforms (TMEW was a simple critical section on some) Much improved support for multi-monitor desktop layouts and 4k monitors The floating form designer has been removed The Broadcast to devices option is now off by default Platform Support Deployment to Windows Server 2019 now supported The LSP based Code Insight much improved from its initial 10.4 release

Hi, I see Embarcadero have released 10.4.1. I'm especially happy they are fixing problems found in prior versions, more so than any 'new' features. However, yet again they say you need a total uninstall and reinstall for this update. What I don't understand is why a full uninstall is necessary for a 'minor' release. This isn't 10 to 11, or even 10.4 to 10.5 - this is one level further - 10.4 to 10.4.1! A full install causes me all sorts of issues. I have a few add ons which I I have to wait on other companies to provide their own updates to the new version which can take weeks. Recall the problems with the Konopka VCL components when 10.4 arrived, it was a couple of weeks before they provided and updated set in GetIt and that component suite is owned by Embarcadero! Even Ray Konopka couldn't understand why this happened. Some companies must have many more add-ons than I have and suffer more than I do with this issue? Surely for a minor upgrade all that is needed is replacing the files that have changed, which can't be that many (being a minor upgrade)?

Well that's what I get for actually reading the installation instructions.

It's on the very first dialogue.

And now demo.exe is running you

Is there already a CPP main topic / category that questions can be asked on ? Or would it be a good idea to add a main fourm topic for that ?

Well, technically I use RAD Studio - that has the C++ bit - but that is sort of a remnant from when the .NET stuff looked like it was going somewhere. Not sure if it is possible to downgrade from RAD Studio Enterprise to Delphi Enterprise. I never use the C++ bit even though I always install it for good measure. Point being: There is a relationship that goes heavily from C++Builder to Delphi, but which is very weak the other way around.

None. You can use categories [Category('bench')] procedure BenchMsgThreads; [Category('stability')] procedure TestMsgThreadStab; and corresponding arguments

I got burnt by this too 😞

Hmmm, have not installed that yet either, but I'll have to check if I actually have the command line tools for my current version. It has been some time since I needed XCode. Yupp, that was it. I failed to install the command line tools. Now everything is OK. XCode 11.6 btw.

2 days ago according to App Store app on my Mac. Haven't installed it yet - perhaps that's the issue for Sherlock?

No. It's just very easy to miss. Bad installer UI. The 10.4.1 release notes stated that there would be an option in the 10.4 uninstaller to keep the settings, but I didn't see any.

No, there was a button "Option" to select the custom path during the installation.

Interesting, I didn't even know this exists. Now that I do, I found that Steve Trefethen blogged about it in 2005: Command line option to display menu item names in Delphi 2006

You may need to add: android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" To the <application> tag in AndroidManifest.template.xml

It depends. If you are sure that your event handlers are thread safe then COINIT_MULTITHREADED is fine. Otherwise change it to COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED. Well if you code isn't thread safe then anything can happen but I think it's more likely that the missing CoUninitialize is the cause.

Full uninstall and reinstall as is noted here: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/10.4_Sydney_-_Release_1

There's no need to post the issues that weren't fixed when we have a list of those that (allegedly) was.

Hi, we already have a topic for this. To keep things in one place, I'd like to close this thread and would like to redirect you to the other one:

Wow! And a fix for Threading - Incorrect calculation of IdleWorkerThreadCount. See https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/2428-threads-in-ppl-thread-pool-not-returning-to-idle-as-expected/

Lightweight MREW sounds useful. One does wonder if it works, having experienced the monitor debacle.

It's the "long polling" subscription method that they want me to use. I'm trying to get them to do the standard REST stuff. It doesn't seem too hard to do from their side but if I can't get them to move on that I think I will have to use Java. I found a tutorial on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO3B9Qmg4qc which shows how to make your own endpoints in SalesForce. I've sent it to them and asked them to have a think - I'll have to wait to see what they say. Thanks Lars and Rollo for your comments. I'll let you know how it goes.

Why is that man trying to swallow an invisible shoe?

Left tree and right panels on which you can have anything. The advantage is that you only see the selected detail. Others do not disturb you.

If I take the liberty of making some assumptions about these states Normal States Prepared On-boarded In Progress Completed Wait states On hold / problem / issue Waiting for more info Pending signoff I could consider the following grid view, with Id identifying f.x. an order of some sort. If you select a line and/or hover over a cell - you could have the details in a panel or popup. The "perfect" day would be all green and no icons. Edit: I clearly didn't read all of the initial post before starting my design - but well - the signoff stages could be more signoff cells.
