Please do. The name helps no one and just adds confusion. I don't know why they thought it would be smart to name versions. I have to google it every time someone refers to a version by name.

OK, it is not official, but I will share some internals here. You can change the titles of the Welcome Page items to clickable links with a secret registry setting: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\WelcomePage] "ActivateLinkOnTitle"=dword:00000001

That's... not normal. This is as strange to me as the Delphi user on the old forum who said he never uses Delphi strings, only Pchars. You're not supposed to have control; the database is supposed to have control. You declare what you want and the RDMS query optimizer decides the best way to retrieve it. I can guarantee you there's no query optimizer designed with your "another way" in mind.

Really looking forward to this one 😊 Not sure why they're so hyped about those TreeView checkboxes, I care much more for Remote Desktop improvements and High DPI 👍

Yes. Usually in separate repository, but sometimes in the same as the project which is using them. Anything I can lay my hands on... my book manuscripts, documentation, illustrations and images, 3rd party source code, my own source code or all kinds, recipes, to do lists, basically all kinds of documents that can (or cannot) change with time.

ICS V8.67 has packages for Delphi and C++ 11.0, currently only available from SVN and the overnight zip, with a final release due next week. http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download There was a major new OpenSSL 3.0 release this week, just finishing testing and integration with V8.67. Currently, many older ICS icons appeared incorrectly with a magenta background in Delphi 11.0 due to transparency being ignored, these will be fixed for the final release. Angus

Keep it on topic and civil, please.

So you're suggesting a better name would have been Delphi 11 Kabul Edition?

No, it is standard and I can actually see it in Delphi 11 - directly right to the encoding drop down.

Apparently some combinations of licenses and configurations don't work correctly... it's not 100% failure. I'd like to see that actual percentage though as I couldn't get my named network license to install either.

Certainly your settings could be relevant.

ah full 4k support, time to ask the boss for new monitors 🙂

That might require a 'new feature' request 🙂

Try clicking 'Advanced' then select the active license..

Is there a full white paper of all changes, bug fixes, additions, etc. yet? I can't seem to find a detailed list.

For me the biggest headache in that scenario is e-mail. It's stored on a server and in a backup, but since nobody but me apparently ever bothers to delete or at least archive old stuff, every server crash that kills the email means restoring many gigabytes of email before new emails can be received. On my work PC, all I really need is the OS + the email client + Delphi and TortoiseSVN. The most work would be to install all necessary components in the IDE. That's mostly automated though, but there are always glitches. Everything else is on the server (and backed up) or is test data that can be easily replaced (usually data from the server copied locally for performance reasons).

I also use Google Drive as a scratch pad for various purposes. Autosave and versioning rules!

+1. I was expecting BtoA(AtoB(A)) == A for any A

Usually I put as much as possible in svn. We have even some projects where we put the executables and dll files and all the files needed for a deployment into the svn. That is great because a tester can just update his working copy and test the newest build. Or he can go back and tell us when a bug was introduced. For the team it is also great. No need to sync images, dlls, configs or other data through some other tool. Just Update your working copy and you are good to continue your development. If you are worrying about the repository size on the server, remember that SVN stores delta files even for binary files. Maybe not as gracefully as for real text files, but disk space is much cheaper then developer time.

For a while I put Word/LibreOfficeWriter and Excel/LibreOfficeCalc documents in subversion, but since they are binary it's pretty pointless, because one cannot easily find what changed. I put some configuration files (linux) there and of course source code of all kinds, including third party sources (and use these via svn:external).

Any news on this? Did you got it to work?
