    @gioma I have both D11 and D12 installed. With the Parnassus plugins in both.

     

    You cannot share visual source code between the two versions. If you open your projects in D12 and save the changes, the forms (as well as other visual design components) can have added properties, which will not work with D11.  This is not news. It has always been like this between major versions. 

     

    That the GetIt servers are down is a problem for everybody, and not something this user forum can solve.

    LOL at the comments from @Ian Barker on the Delphi Community Discord - General Chat 😄

    Yes it was not a single point of failure but a cascade effect caused by a failure, mitigation, which then spiked demand in a concentrated way, which then unleashed the Kraken, Cthulhu, Satan's little helpers, COVID-19++, and the ghost of Christmas Past.
     

    It's a bit like when you put your finger over a hole in a water pipe to stop it leaking and then it sprays everywhere like a coke bottle stuffed full of mentos.
     

    When you have millions of hits from the IDE trying to refresh the GetIt packages (for example) and a tiny bit of network left limping along amidst the flames of Valhalla stuff goes sideways really fast.
     

    Not a good week to be the developer advocate, to be fair, but a lot better than being one of the network ops people who, I suspect, have nothing left in their blood but pure caffeine and pizza crusts.

    We don't need the full version with source, nor am I a fan of binaries in git, and we are multiple developers + build server.

    I guess manual copying on the build server will be the go-to workaround until EMBT responds, but that also adds the need for manual installation of the design time packages.

     

    Someone made a bad decision on "hardcoding" the location of the CatalogRepository to a user-owned location for an IDE that is installed for all users.

    I've run into a D12 issue: The GetIt FastReports installer now installs to a user owned path! 

    C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository\FastReport-2023.3\
    It used to be: C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReports\

     

    This is a problem because our build server doesn't see that path as it runs with a different AD user than the user that installed Delphi, and hence barfs when trying compile units that contain Fast Reports units.

     

    Has anyone found a good solution to this?
