Folks - why is it that hard to stay on topic? honestly, it is not hard. You just don‘t care. Feel free to create a separate thread for cross-platform development, but this topic is locked now.

Before starting a new thread about the "future of Delphi", please give some more context what exactly you would change. It would be helpful for a discussion to summarize the content of presentation and to adopt it to Delphi. There have been several threads about the "future of Delphi" and actually I am not sure, why this thread should be different or bring in any new aspects. Of course everyone of you is free to create a new thread - but you should take a moment to check, if it's really a value for the community of if it's just a recapitulation of existing threads.

Peter come on - as you can read in the previous answers there is no need to write to EMBT. And this is the wrong thread to discuss about the things that Delphi may be suffering from.

Nonetheless - your question is answered.

This topic is about a 3rd-party welcome-page, please discuss the live-bindings in a separate topic.

Not being a MVP anymore, it is the first time in years that I do not have access to a recent version Delphi. But I will have a solution for you. Please give me a couple of days.

Done, thanks for the reminder.

*sigh* i see no reasons for getting personal. There are different ways to look at and to solve a problem.

Hi, next time please chose a more specific subject for your question. 😉

This is close to spammers paradise and it seems that it does not comply with the license-terms of whatsapp. see: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/faq Given the unclear circumstances, I removed the links and locked the post.

In short: We try to respect the intentions of Embarcadero. And their intentions are quite clear - they want the users to use either GetIt or their download-portal located at my.embarcadero.com. But some patches for very ancient versions of Delphi (version 6 for example) are floating around the internet. And although their copyright is still clearly defined - it is not "public domain" - Embarcadero considered it the lesser of two evils if customers were helped with a direct link.

About the discussion of deep-links: Indeed they are not welcome. Embarcadero has its download-portals and can make the files available there. The fact that the files can be downloaded without further protection does not mean that we will publish these links here as long as there are official sources for them.

Account was deleted on request. But in general we do not discuss things like this in public. I will close this topic now.

Hi, just click the "follow"-box in the upper right. I admit, that this one is not easy to be recognised as a button, but it has some power...

I have removed some offtopic-rants. Please stay focused on topic.
