Anyone knows if EMB plans are for 12.3 maintenance bug fixing focused release or we wait for 13 (or skip unlucky no.) and go to 14. It's a shame that there is no roadmap like it was for the last decade and more.

Too bad, every buggy major release like 12 undoubtley is should have final bug fixing minor or at least big patch, including final patched totally ISO closing release. Like Version 11 have such all in one iso build which does not require to install later any patches.

Thanks John for this post. Well, very interesting info which puts new light, maybe they scammed Sergey first that's why clever guys disappered? Or why not both ways? ☺ Would be good if anyone from clever could commet there and cut speculations..

Solid components, anyway now from about a year it looks more like abandoned project (no support) and releases are very very rare now.

this grim joke called the new quality portal is only escalating, I wanted to read about the bugs fixed in 12.2 and the details most of them simply don't work don't find them.... Bravo EMB, you have finally found a nice way to get those nasty users to leave you alone, no voting no transparency, users are there to pay for subscriptions not to report some bug and bother us. ..

Patches do not work for me at least. That means it has almost 0 value, when it asks to buy subscription otherwise forget about hotfixes.

Delphi suffers from lack of popularity and thus lack of adequate funding. Too many things at once (mac, linux, mobile, fmx, vcl, c++ builder). Ideally, it would be as if the company would choose some one way and focus all attention and power on it, increasing quality and performance. Delphi needs: - Roadmap back! - Make finally 64 bit IDE, compiler, linker etc. with total abandon of 32 bit(do not wasting time on 32 bit version and focus on one) - performance (yes it matters all the time) - Improve the quality and speed of bug patching (it's a little better than e.g. 5 years ago, but it's still outrageously slow comparing e.g. to VStudio, where we get some update, hotfix etc. every few weeks. - Realise that developers need quality much more than new features (they don't understand it for over 25 years)

Patch availiable (under 11.3 for 11.1) Is this planned that latest 11 which include all patches installed does not include this Windows 11 Debugging Patch? IMO it's bug anyway. Simple question: Does this patch helps for 11.3 or only for 11.1 and should not appear there?

Thanks, all the more reason it shouldn't come up, because I just got the version you're talking about the latest 11.3, even more nonsense.

LOL, I don't know how to comment on this, here it is a waste of time to go into individual cases of absurdity. We are in 2024, the explosion and development of good affordable pricing and even very good free open source applications, high costs can no longer be an excuse. as for JIRA I would not use it even for free(expect it's very expensive) there are much better commercial systems for issues tracking(also complex advanced and very stable) What is wrong with this company - looks to me like they do not respect their customers in my opinion. People take the time to report bugs to do descriptions, validations, create ready made examples and then something just gets lost like with this change. Or some quite serious ones hang unfixed around for several years(!). I no longer have faith in the current team in charge of management, it has to be completely new people with a fresh approach.

LOL, what kind of joke is that?? 1) I've sorted issues by date (created) and the last are from January24, where are tickets from the last 5 months? Delphi is a great concept. The companies behind their development, especially in the last 5 years not so much. New system is so poor, there are many better open source projects than jira service management (if costs saving was the main reason I suppose) I can't see order by date in new one, select type (c++, delphi, ide, rtl IDE) etc.

KeyUp sample code does not handle dead keys correctly

How to draw messages like similar style, non std dialogs? What functions are used there and if official method even exist to raise custom msg like that? https://i.imgur.com/iezNLGa.png

Nothing, but need that style/method.

Anybody knows where to look for version in binary exe/dll? I mean to determine if file was builded in version 11 or 12 etc.(I do not mean edition but version)

Thank you Remy

Hello, I need to fire some action very precisely AFAIK I cannot fully trust to Ttimer(accuracy) Maybe question is stupid or trivial but how get something similar like below but using the most precise method(TStopwatch) procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject); begin // Do something every 1 second(timer interval set to 1000ms) end;

@KodeZwerg Thanks, yes it's useful as for crashing I meant your previous code(Multimedia Timer) when set to very low interval. Thanks it's really alpha and ver(lack of Period and some checks) anyway great start. Thank you

Apologize delay(illness) Thank you guys for all of your input and comments, CreateTimerQueueTimer seems to be the best method (cpu time vs accuracy) @KodeZwerg Multimedia timer(your first code posted) works very precise too, however I'm getting AV on form close(with low intervals <=50ms) - not always. As for the latest method, Can you show some basic implementatio like for the first one? Fire action every interval set mean for unit kz.Windows.Timer ; Probably it would be good to add procedures and properties for Period and DueTime(SetPeriod, SetDueTime) QFP, QPC seems to be non go for such usage like I first wanted, it's very good for meassure execution time for some portion of code e.g. for profiling/optimizations. But for other purposes CreateTimerQueueTimer seems to be the king. @Lars Fosdal Fire and run until app will be closed/destroyed (launch tasks every X time with precision where ttimer is too weak)

This was my initial question...;) Still don't know how to know do effecient check if X time was passed to fire action using stopwatch

Thanks for your input, I doubt I will do that better than anyone did already, I do not feel much strong to make it good enough. so after only quick initial research seems that topic with meassuring time is definetely not trivial.

@Renate SchaafInteresting stuff, can you post this with all latest fixex? Have you got own repo with your projects?

You need to build TDI driver then, but as Brian @Brian Evans said better way is use Windows API and proven technology, you can focus on UI things rather than much more complicated kernel driver part. Driver will be needed in both cases but WFP is much much simpler.

I've just read that: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/c-builder-and-platforms-support Yes IMO we are just cash cows. Many problems with quality and speed of development new things, modern tech. When I first heard many years ago about FMX and mobile, I just knew it that it going just nowhere. Delphi should stay mainly (and only) Windows desktop development tool (without mobile devices support) Programmers could have stable powerful absolute king of Windows desktop dev solution. Of cours full Rad studio with C++ as well. More features/platform = more mess, lower quality if you are not as big company as Microsoft or Alphabet, Apple, Oracle. Quick patches (Especially semi automatic from Getit) instead of waiting for major/minor release is very good step forward. So I see one small step in good direction in last years. Just unreal wishful thinking, going back to reality, waiting for 10.4.1 ; )
