I just wouldn't expect them to work on it for more than 3 weeks...

Same for me - in previous versions (do not know about Delphi 12 - not using it yet), it usually took several weeks to months before they prepared the packages for Getit, that is another reason why not to use Getit and install manually.

In Delphi 11.3, I have removed all other panels, so that only Component Palette is there - and then it does not move.

Hmm, or use floppies to copy it from a friend... About 5300 pieces of 3,5"/1,44 MB needed 😉

Several hardware problems at the same moment? My imagination offers me something like this: (image found on the web, not from Emba!)

And how could spikes in download even destroy a server (hardware)...

Nobody - but they don't say anything. And since they have outages (QC, Getit) frequently, I'm willing to believe they have a lot of room for improvement.

They are able to write "How to create a real xxx App" on Facebook and send it in e-mails, why they are not able to write a short message about this outage?

It seems the directory "__history" is hidden - in Windows Explorer, you will need to enable hidden files, or use another File Manager. May be it is still there...

Do you have a folder named "__history" in the folder with your project?

I had similar problem with Firebird 3 using IBX components. Solved by using Firebird 4 🙂

Thank you, I am already using it, but when I started to use Direct2D, it looked impossible to print with TDirect2dCanvas.

Hello, I am using Direct2D interfaces directly, so I do not use TDirect2dCanvas. Will you be able do print/export with TDirect2dCanvas?

QP is broken, too...

I will never understand why such a bug is not repaired almost immediatelly - even if they just remove this optimisation. Now it looks that they are satisfied that D12 was released as planned and now f*ck you, users - we do not mind that this product is unusable, for us it was only important to release it. 😕

Fixed quickly? Are we still talking about Delphi?

Hello, I suppose you have to test it yourself, because "it depends". Some usefull tips: https://ib-aid.com/en/articles/45-ways-to-speed-up-firebird-database/ https://ib-aid.com/en/articles/23-more-ways-to-speed-up-firebird/

I have no problems with editor (using classic key mapping). From my point of view, big handicap is poor testing, which often leads to poor quality of new versions (such as https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-43274 , which makes Delphi 12 unusable for me; why did they not release a patch yet?!).

Which of these plugins made compiler understand multi-line strings in source code?

You can download JCL and JVCL manually and install them in Delphi 12. Just be sure that you do not have another version of JCL/JVCL somewhere in the path.

... and offline again...

The overall impression is good. I welcome multi-line strings. I'm happy about the MDI improvements, as I use MDI in one application. Finally added support for newer versions of Android. A large number of bugs fixed. Skia integration looks promising. I'm just a little worried about the changes in HDPI support, because so far with every major change in that area new bugs have come. And Windows API translation could also be helpfull.

Yes 🙂

When importing settings using Migration Tool, there is a button "Version Migration", which probably should (must?) be used when upgrading from 11.3 to 12. At least I have used it and got no errors.
