Hi, I just got an email from Appercept (https://www.appercept.com) offering a 20% black friday deal on the Appercept AWS SDK for Delphi - for anyone interested in utilising services on Amazon Web Services. A coupon BLACKCYBER20 just needs to be applied on checkout it seems. I have it from through the Emb Enterprise edition, but it may be useful for anyone on Pro that wants access to a very good SDK. IMO It has excellent documentation, responsive support and continuous development!

Some Windows users received a faulty Windows update with WebView2 Runtime 131 that broke the official way to check if the evergreen runtime is installed in the computer. Microsoft stopped the deployment of that update and then released a fix but some computers may still have the broken runtime. In the case of WebView4Delphi this update caused the GlobalWebView2Loader.StartWebView2 call to return false because it couldn't find the WebView2 runtime on the system. As a temporary workaround, set GlobalWebView2Loader.CheckFiles to FALSE before the GlobalWebView2Loader.StartWebView2 call. Read this issue in the feedback repository for more details.

Hi, thanks! At the moment, I'm only targeting Windows. Mostly because much of that audience is on Windows. I won't rule out other platforms, however. The products that I create are for clients using Windows. The libs are open source so if anyone wishes to port to other platforms, go for it. Note that often, a library may take express advantage of a feature that is limited or unique to the Windows platform, however. In the case of games for example, the last time I looked at the Steam stats, the vast majority of users there are still on Windows. It's no debate that Windows still has the best development tools, and it is still much easier to release on it. But, like I said, I'm not against it per say, just that for me, in the current moment, I have no need or desire to release anywhere else.
