Planning for V4 (FMX support)

[PhilPlus 6]

Hello

Is there any planning for the V4 version ? 

(sorry if yet answered).

There is work being done (sporadically) in https://github.com/gabr42/OmniThreadLibrary/tree/v4-develop-2

 

Current status is: low-level tasks work on Linux, except when they don't and everything locks up hard. (And I have no idea yet why that happens.)

Thx Primož

My interest is mainly about OTL for FMX (for Android & IOS). Any plan about it ?

I'm only using Delphi tools for threading and synchronization so the end result should work on all supported platforms. I only tested on Ubuntu running on WSL2 though.

OK but on GitHub I see : 

 

Is OmniThreadLibrary supported on my platform?
At the moment, OTL supports Delphi 2007,...10.3 Rio, and 10.4 Sydney on Win32 and Win64 platforms using the VCL framework.

So I thought OTL depended on VCL.

@Primož Gabrijelčič

Please clarify what platforms VCL/FMX can be used.
I'm interested in iOS / Android mainly, bit Win32/64 / Macos too.

 

Did I miss that your library is compatible with those ?

[Primož Gabrijelčič 223]

V3 works with VCL/command line/service.

 

V4 *will* also support FMX (current development v4 version does not).

I think you mean RTL but only certain platforms (Windows in V3) because I don't see any *visual* components in OTL (OmniThreadLibraryRuntime.dpk also only requires rtl.bpl).

Because technically you can build a Windows-only application using FMX with OTL just fine.
