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.

Africa, Egypt. There was the largest library in ancient world.

Hi All FinalBuilder 8.0.0.3035 with Rad Studio 11 support is now available from our website - release notes https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums/t/finalbuilder-8-0-0-3035-released/7115 Automating your Build process is simple with FinalBuilder. With FinalBuilder you don't need to edit xml, or write scripts. Visually define and debug your build scripts, then schedule them with windows scheduler, or integrate them with Continua CI, Jenkins or any other CI Server. Thousands of Software Developers rely on FinalBuilder to automate the build, test and release process. If you are not using FinalBuilder to automate your builds, you are missing out 😉

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.

it looks that embarcadero fired all programmers ... it shouldn't be called 11 but maybe 10.4 patch 5 what about something useful for programmers, like code profiler, usable debugger, usable code navigation, code refactoring, and so on ... where are features from roadmap like language extensions? how desperate they had to be when you see "Rich Edit component update removes XP dependencies " in the changelog

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

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.

Keep it on topic and civil, please.

Based on previous experiences, I used the 10.4.2 LicenseManager to remove all the licenses, then re-registered during installation of Alexandria. Both 11 and 10.4.2 had a valid license after that. But, YMMV.

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

Did you watch the webinar today? In the webinar they spent some time talking about the new HIGH DPI settings. If you have a 4k monitor that's more like 27" vs. 55" and your Windows settings are designed to compensate for things, the IDE is may be ignoring the system's compensatory mechanism and doing things itself. I have a 4k 55" monitor and things look fine in Windows because everything is able to run at "normal" -- ie, uncompensated -- resolution. So it looks the same as 4 HD monitors running at HD DPI settings But on a small monitor, it's too tiny to read. I have to go into the Windows Settings and tell it to compensate. So the question about your SYSTEM SETTINGS IS 100% DEAD-ON. This is more about your system than Delphi because this NEW version of Delphi probably overrides whatever your Windows settings are. And there are settings in Delphi as well.

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

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.

I would think a little bigger. Here's an easy thought process. Set your computer on fire. (If you are on a team in an office - consider a natural disaster destroyed your office location.) Now, get all new equipment and see how painful it is to get back up and running without having to recreate any previous effort. Can you do that today? There are multiple ways to minimize this pain. The most common way to protect part of your investment is to use version control on your source code. An additional tool could be snapshotting your VM and keeping the backups offsite. Keep in mind the 3-2-1 (or 3-2-3) backup strategy. Ideally, you would hit a few buttons to rebuild your systems and not even lose your current edit session. But the amount of effort and expense that you are willing to put in pretty much dictates the amount of effort it will take to rebuild.

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

Database DDL's

Code, scripts, configurations, schemas, graphics, etc in git Any kind of Office 365 Docs in Teams/SharePoint (where they also are versioned) System documentation in Confluence and Ardoq. Executables are archived and placed in staging folders on the file server by the build server.

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?
