I can see them now, brooding in their offices over a not so satisfactory IDE release, when suddenly one of them jumps up in excitement, shouting: "I got it!" Proceeding to invite everyone to a Teams meeting to spread the good news. When they all finally got together an extensive presentation with countless slides was skillfully delivered to the increasingly agitated peers culminating in roaring applause and a virtual high five by Mr. Popov himself, who had joined after hearing the good news. With his chest swollen with pride he then announced "So this is it then: Athens!"

PSA: Looks like that integer division is broken in 12 due to implementing this feature request. There are at least two reports already about this: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-43274 https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-43418 Personally, I would say this absolute "need a hotfix asap" severity. I am honestly really sad about this because this encourages everyone who shies away from requesting any improvements to the compiler because it is almost certain that s**t will fall apart after. 😒

But that's not what it is. It's Delphi 12. Like last time it was Delphi 11 and then 11.1 and then 11.2. So maybe the next one after 12 will be 12.1. Or maybe it will be 13. Or maybe 14. The fact that so many people have such problems with knowing the versions is a sign that their policy is poor. I'm expecting to hear about XE12 before long.

Well Google has no right to gloat..."Ice cream sandwich"? Stupid names. Numbers rule! Delphi 12.0 - Done. Pure. Simple. No room for mistakes or errors. Other than Debian: Bullseye, Buster or Bookworm...which one is oldest?

ICS V9.0 has been released at: https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download ICS is a free internet component library for Delphi 7, 2006 to 2010, XE to XE8, 10 Seattle, 10.1 Berlin, 10.2 Tokyo, 10.3 Rio, 10.4 Sydney and 11 and C++ Builder 2006 to XE3, 10.2 Tokyo, 10.3 Rio, 10.4 Sydney and 11. ICS supports VCL and FMX, Win32, Win64 and MacOS 32-bit targets. The distribution zip includes the latest OpenSSL 3.1.2 win32, with other versions of OpenSSL being available from the download page. ICS V9 is planned to be a long term support release with no new components or major features added, just bug fixes as needed, major changes will be for V10. V9.0 has been tested with Delphi 7, but I had to make changes to several new components due to missing language features and TWebBrowser does not exist, so V9.0 will be the last tested with D7. Delphi 2007 is easier to support for those building ANSI projects and will become the oldest version supported. An overview of the new samples and components was posted in this group a few days ago, and is included in the download page. The full release notes for V9.0 are at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_V9.0 All ICS active samples are available as prebuilt executables, to allow ease of testing without needing to install ICS and build them all. There are four separate zip files split into clients, servers, tools and miscellaneous samples which can be downloaded from https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Samples The Getting Started page at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Getting_Started has also been updated with all the new components.

Not yet. It is. All units not matching a group are placed after the grouped units.

Brackets denote a list of unit names forming a group. I use it f.i. for keeping the ToolsApi units together: (ToolsApi,DesignIntf,DCCStrs,DockForm,TabDock) The example shows a glitch in the TMS unit naming: Adv* followed by (BaseGrid) keeps the TMS Grids unit together. The other example (ZipForge) is used when a group consists of a single unit name only. Omitting the brackets would take it as a unit scope name instead.

I wanted to say that yesterday I took the time to configure MMX to group and sort uses clauses they way I wanted and it is working great. I expect you hear this a lot, but thank you for your help and keeping MMX alive. I did not have the opportunity to use Code Explorer when it was a ModelMaker product. Yesterday I took the time to go through most of the options and will be changing my coding habits to take advantage of more MMX features.

Not to detract from your point here, just wanted to note that Community edition isn't a cloud service - it's a free self-hosted application. In other words, you're not under SonarSource's thumb when using it.

Would you like a pony with that too? Honestly, the entitlement of that statement!

The main problem with the PUT handler in the application server was a complete lack of content upload handling, it was just ignored, now fixed, will be in SVN today. Angus

Looks interesting but then I went to the SonarQube site to see what their commercial terms were like and... Of course, given that they don't even list prices and that I had to Google for them, I guessed that much. OpenSource only then, I guess.

We have added support for the new Delphi 12 Athens released to our products: Pascal Analyser 9.12.3 Static code analyzer Browse the online documentation here https://peganza.com/PALHelp/index.html Pascal Expert 9.12.3 Plug-in for RAD Studio, subset of Pascal Analyzer Browse the online documentation here https://peganza.com/PEXHelp/index.html Pascal Browser 3.5.21 Creates documentation for your source code Browse the online documentation here https://peganza.com/PABHelp/index.html Go to https://peganza.com to learn more.

The SonarDelphi plugin is now available through the SonarQube Marketplace. This makes installation even simpler: * Install SonarQube Community Edition * Navigate to Administration > Marketplace * Find Delphi in the list and click Install After that, you just need to configure your project properties. (See CONFIGURATION)

I didn't know about such Chinese Horoscope. Thank you ! So is FireMonkey from there too ? Edit: adding this It might be helpful for marketing to choose Chinese city name, like the famous Wuhan .

I bet that many of those will also recognize the western calendar years. Brgds, a Wood Dragon.

Ref, next major version of Delphi... Triskaidekaphobia IS to be trifled with 😛 I do wish more companies would simply adopt a calendar centric version. RAD Studio <year>.<release>.<patch>.<build> I also wish that the minor releases could be installed in parallel!

Happy to report this is fixed in 12.0 debugger!

Wouldn't you just write an exhaustive unit test that ensured nothing could go wrong

Psychic surgery may be indicated for those with bad luck. 🙂 The only bad luck I know about is the disassembly window not showing on 12. Control-alt-d when stopped at a breakpoint only flickers the other debug floaters. 😞

I have updated my Delphi Help Expert to support Delphi 12. It still supports all Delphi versions from 2005 onwards

It's likely because you have an incompatible JDK present on the machine. This is a potential fix: 1. Make sure JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the Adoptium JDK: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-11.0.15.10-hotspot 2. Add missing build-tools by going to: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository\AndroidSDK-2525-23.0.50491.5718\cmdline-tools\latest\bin In a command prompt and issue these commands: sdkmanager “build-tools;33.0.2” sdkmanager “platforms;android-33”

Why not? It's a priviledge to get access to some kind of "road map information". Their task is also to help to complete the version. This it's premium service of the customers towards the company!
