Last Delphi roadmap was published in May 2019 https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/rad-studio-roadmap-may-2019 and later updated in August 2019 https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/august-2019-delphi-android-beta-plans-august-roadmap-update. Those roadmaps cover up to mid 2020. It would be great to have an updated roadmap to know the future evolution of Delphi. What do you think?

That would be a nice addition to fill the gap and cover all the mainstream web technologies. The problem is how to add a new platform without distracting resources from the current platforms. Also, ARM compilers for Mac and possibly other desktop platforms will be needed.

Hi Marco I can suggest you to implement those features as optional with the possibility of enabling/disabling any of them. This will allow the users to deactivate any of them. I can imagine that Andreas work is more complex because he has to inject the code in a precompiled application so if you integrate those patches in the development code it should be an easier task. Regards

I wonder why Embarcadero does not fully integrate IDE Fix Pack in the standard IDE.

The new release 10.4.1 of Delphi has just been published: Delphi 10.4.1 Crossfingers

With newer versions of Delphi you should define the function: function objc_msgSendP4(theReceiver: Pointer; theSelector: Pointer; P1,P2,P3,P4: Pointer): Pointer; cdecl; overload; external libobjc name _PU + 'objc_msgSend'; And then you can use it as follows: objc_msgSendP4((FStillImageOutput as ILocalObject).GetObjectID, sel_getUid('addObserver:forKeyPath:options:context:'), FVideoCaptureDelegate.GetObjectID, (StrToNSStr('capturingStillImage') as ILocalObject).GetObjectID, Pointer(NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew), (FAVCaptureStillImageIsCapturingStillImageContext as ILocalObject).GetObjectID); Nonetheless, the best solution is the one posted by Gustav some posts ago. objc_msgSend should be avoided if possible. Regards

Sorry for my late answer (I've been very busy for some months). This code was compiled against Delphi XE5 and the iOS RTL has changed a lot since then. Nonetheless the code is a good sample that should run with minor adjustments. Regards

I've tested it and it runs smoothly. This is the best solution. Regards Christen

You must include a class attribute to specify which platforms the component is going to be available: type ... [ComponentPlatformsAttribute(pidWin32 or pidWin64 or pidOSX32 or pidiOSSimulator or pidiOSDevice32 or pidiOSDevice64 or pidAndroid)] TVCDProgress = class(TCustomControl) ... end;

It usually takes some days to mark them as closed after they release a new version. This is because they have two different servers one for internal issues and one for public issues.

Ohhh, there is a huge list of fixed issues!!

@Lars Fosdal, you should take a look at https://blog.andreamagni.eu/2015/09/tframestand-component-fmx-tframes-on-steroids/ It is a very nice extension to use frames in Firemonkey.

@David Millington, congratulations for the great job you and your team have done.

Marco talks about the new directions of memory management in Delphi: http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2018-october-Delphi-ARC-directions.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+marcocantublog+(marcocantu.blog)

Great solution!!!
