I found the only integration into the IDE I consider useful is the LiveBlame feature from VersionInsight.

Well... Google has a tendency to scrap even well used projects out of the blue. And just because something is being developed by Google doesn't make it a great thing...I feel quite contrarily, but maybe I just hate ads a bit more than others.

Well, we are the most important...

Someone at Embarcadero was sleeping ...and by the looks of it still is. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37609 There seems to be a workaround for this issue though. Check the comments in that RSP.

This is really saddening.

Perhaps this SO question can help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36123333/which-method-is-getting-called-when-app-is-opened-by-push-notification-clicked

To what end? As a form of global TearDown?

You forgot the "...which in turn import a ton of more libraries all of which may or may not contain some serious security issues" part 😉

Apart from the obvious TLS 1.3?

I'm OK, guys, thanks for asking. Not Corona, but I've spent some time in the hospital nonetheless.

Ummmm... Yeah: https://images.app.goo.gl/2Xcd1gMuLncGModL6

I'm afraid in this case your Delphi version might be outdated.

Well, I just copy my SD Master for redistribution...but, why not?

Thats why we have things like Docker.

Well cancel Windows 11 then. No need for it anyway. Only for testing. Some folks still use WinXP, being stuck on Win10 till MS comes to their senses seems not that long.

When you compare Embarcaderos product portfolio with Microsofts you should notice some ridiculous differences as well. You just can't make that much money on selling IDEs or developer tools alone. Please get real. Office Suites alone generate a much higher income, add an OS to that and giving away an IDE for practically nothing seems to barely make a dent in the profits.

In the past I used one of the many free online services for my icons (not that I needed many, only two sets). Appiconmaker, app icon generator and so forth are handy google arguments. What they lack is the start screen thing, nice addition. What none have or even consider, is the use of a different icon for those small ones, where scaled down big images just look mushy and ugly. See here for more info on that subject.

Well, first of all, none of the libraries are closed source, every licensee may/can/should take a look at the RTL or VCL code. Furthermore there are some really smart fellows looking at that code, who develop some stuff I for one can't even begin to understand. So I'm pretty sure the comments don't come out of the blue and are not simply made to disrespect. They are heartfelt cries of pain and sorrow.

Ummm. to complicated for that small stroll off of the beaten path. Let's all just try to get back on topic.

Finally they have to eat their own can of worms...

Is that only in your Delphi application or in all applications? In the latter case I concur with @David Heffernan in the former, please write a QC ticket.

They could have reused their Win7 Engine, but where would be the fun in that.

Considering that's how everybody else does it, causing some poor saps to even run W2K machines that is not the worst of all choices...

I loved JEDI VCS, but that ship has sailed so long ago. Just use this opportunity to jump in some fresh clean water.

I guess those folks are still on D2007.
