Today the RAD Studio Product Management team (myself included) has published an updated roadmap.
The article with the new roadmap slides is available at:
https://community.embarcadero.com/article/16563-rad-studio-roadmap-september-2017
The roadmap is updated with the 10.2.1 actual release and the specific 10.2.2 plans, along with the focus areas for 10.3 next year.
What about bidi mode support in FMX after 1000 years?!!!
Please consider that, by 1 January 2018, all FireMonkey developers who publish their apps on the Mac App Store will be left in the cold, since you cannot compile to 64-bit with Tokyo and new 32-bit Mac apps will be rejected by Apple (those that are already on the Store must be updated by June 2018). This means that Embarcadero has serious reason to hurry up and come up with the new version of Delphi as soon as they can.
Not nice to see the 64bit support for macOS only in 10.3 which will be somewhere in 2018. From January 2018, all new apps submitted to the Mac App Store MUST be 64-bit. It means the whole macOS support from Delphi will be worthless till we get the 10.3
Why the Linux FMX UI is not in the top 10 of things to be done?
Hello Marco, In our company we develop mostly with VCL, only accounting and medical Windows applications and have no intention to change that into the future (mac or mobile). Please, take in consideration what I am expected from next version of Dephi: - installing different version on the same controls in IDE and assignment controls to projects - undo everything in IDE including changes in properties and events - focus control to TToolbar and tDropDownButtond and tSplitButton like Toolstrip from Visual Studio (Winforms) - Option to convert one control to another (very useful for migration from database controls to other or from TSpeedButton to TButton) - union of some controls into a single one, for examples a single tButton instead of tBitBtn and TSpeedButton with cumulated properties and events - database controls update (grids, combo, etc., in a excel like sorting and filtering, autosorting, AutoDropDownList, EnterAsTab, etc.) - new library to simple launch .net dlls - modernization of Delphi IDE, docking in the fresh way, see: https://www.lmd.de/products/vcl/lmddockpack/
Please make an effort to make Arabic support for FMX, for the input and output (Tlabel…) controllers. Its long overdue! Thanks
You should acquire (or at least actively support) FmxLinux.com and uniGUI.com projects. After that, statements about all-in-one IDE will become true. Fragmentation is a very bad thing in such limited ecosystem, as well as waiting for years for existing features in 3rd parties to be coded from the ground to the standard libraries.
1) Improvement in VCL Styling have been introduced in Delphi Xe2, but even now there are problems to be solved before we can really use this nice feature in our softwares. Please continue to work on this. The problem is when you have main and/or popup menus in a dll that must be styled, it just does not work. Minimizing also the form in the dll make the application crash. There is workaround to handle the case minimze, but for the pop-up menu problem, I really found nothing. The only solution would be today to replace the pop menu by other VCL components but it just a lot of work for larges long existing projects. So before to undertake styling, it is important for us to know, if there will be improvement in next Delphi releases. 2) I think that RAD Server could be for Delphi/C++ Builder what Wordpress for PHP is. The BPLs would be the Plugins. I like Workpress because it make Web application development easy. It really just a question to add a plugin in the project, like in Delphi when we add a component on the form. Is therea plan to open the GetIt package manager to RAD Server BPL so that RAD Server be more community driven?
Please finally fix all the LME288, LME200 and comp32x.dll problems !
When will release 10.2.2 be released? I noticed that in FireDAC using fmOnDemand does not work correctly.
