Delphi 13 beta

[EugeneK 23]

Delphi 13 beta announced https://blogs.embarcadero.com/update-subscription-customers-invited-to-join-rad-studio-ganymede-beta/

 

Have anyone received invites? Apparently they sent to premium and regular subscription licenses this time. I'm on regular subscription and did not get any. Getting regular marketing emails, though.

"please check your spam folder first, and then reach out to your Embarcadero sales representative or reseller, to ask for a new invite."

I'm tagging @Ian Barker to see if can help.

Got an invitation last Friday, am on regular subscription.

Are you kidding me? You, Sir, are a TeamB legend and as such I would have assumed you're an MVP now, with - AFAIK - much earlier access to the betas.

 

Heck, I learned a ton from all of your posts going all the way back to when we were still hanging out on nntp://borland.* with the likes of Neil J. Rubenking and the other TeamB members (or maybe even earlier back, then CompuServe was a thing, but I'm not sure whether my memory serves me right on this one).

 

I sincerely hope you're able to enjoy your time as a pensioner now. You've been an inspiration to me in more than just one way. So thank you a lot.

 

FWIW I didn't receive a beta invite as a regular subscription user, but I'm actually not surprised by that - I mean how is Calvin Tang going to handle beta invitation requests if everyone with an active subscription is invited?

had done a look to Ganymede beta:

Part of the NDA you agreed to when you signed up was to not publicly mention that you are participating in the beta, nor any details about it, so you have already broken your NDA.

@RDP1974 Dave is correct. Please remove your comment.

In his defense, now I'm hyped for the release

Would be great if one of the administrators could remove it - I do not want Embarcadero to see this as a reason for being even more strict in future about information on future development...

OMG please can delete it?

That was a looong time ago and I've not done any serious programming in years. Actually I newer participated in a beta due to lack of time and spare hardware (installing a beta on my production PC was just too risky).

And your memory is correct, I did start on the old Compuserve BPASCAL forum before Delphi was even an idea in Anders' brain 8-). Those were the days, acoustic couplers to connect via phone line, later 9600 baud modems, Turbo Pascal, later for Windows with OWL... lots of fun.  Just a bit depressing that quite a few of the old crew have already passed away...

But you and Remy are still there with a greater, precious and fundamental tireless contribution.

 

Thank you for all, for what you have done and for what you will do (to others of TeamB too, that I don't know).

+1 for Peter Below legend status.  I can't tell you how many times I was on the old forums and appreciated your answers.
