DelphiUdIT 181 Posted September 28, 2023 I haven't seen any blogs or public news about Rad 12 Beta (Yukon) yet (except directly from Embarcadero). This is the link where Dave reports some important news: https://delphiworlds.com/2023/09/yukon-is-coming/ 1 Share this post Link to post
Anders Melander 1795 Posted September 28, 2023 It looks to be one of the most underwhelming releases I've seen in a while. Share this post Link to post

dummzeuch 1508 Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Underwhelming featurewise might just mean they focused on fixing bugs. I could live with that. Many of the features introduced in the recent releases didn't really matter for me personally. One can hope ... Edited September 28, 2023 by dummzeuch 3 Share this post Link to post
Lachlan Gemmell 33 Posted September 30, 2023 The most underwhelming release ever was Delphi 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Delphi_(software)#Early_Borland_years_(1995–2003) Share this post Link to post
Roger Cigol 104 Posted September 30, 2023 From a C++ perspective there are some really positive advances being talked about for version 12. But we wait to see (read the disclaimer) how much actually makes it into the official release. Delphi users may feel C++ is not important. I think the opposite. For the long term survival of the product Embarcadero must increase their customer base and having a good Firemonkey multidevice solution based on C++ is one obvious way to help achieve this.

Usually each release comes with a bunch of bugs fixed, and a new set of bugs released into the wild. I do think the product is slowly getting better though. 2 Share this post Link to post

That's one interpretation but just because the Wikipedia page states it (unsourced, incidentally) doesn't make it so. Another is that it's the most pirated version (the last version without license activation). Yet another is the self-goal of Delphi 8. It's impossible to know. Funnily, if you follow the edits on the wiki, the section you quoted at one point stated: Quote Delphi 7 is one of the most appreciated IDEs created by Borland because its stability, speed and low hardware requirements. However, as in all Delphi versions there are a huge number of known bugs that Borland never fixed. The task of fixing those bugs was left to Delphi community (see projects as Kylix Unofficial Patch and the Reviving Delphi project). Share this post Link to post
aehimself 396 Posted October 3, 2023 Quote Zip support improvements. I wish this was explained further. Maybe we will finally get TZipFile.Delete / TZipFile.Remove? 😄 Share this post Link to post

Well, I'm judging from my own experience as well. Many components still support D7 as the oldest version and many people report they develop with D7. Also it was the last very compact version without .Net, J#, MS Help etc crap (and with perfect help system using good old HLP) Share this post Link to post
