RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

Thank you for taking the time to post this 
information, it is useful

Good to have Roadmaps 

Thank you, I am glad to see that we really get 
roadmaps more regularly now.

That there are not this many new features, but more 
enhancements, lets me hope that the quality is 
improved further. And that we'll be able to work with 
XE8 once it is out (the memory problems do not allow 
us using XE7 currently as it crashes too often).

4k monitor support:
Good to hear regarding the VCL. I have only minor 
problems using a 4k monitor and two full HD monitors 
as development environment. But of course 
improvements would be very welcome there as well. ;-)

mean, exactly?

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

Hi Marco,
Unfortunately, there is no BiDi support for FMX on
your roadmap. Why?

Will Embarcadero support BiDi is FireMonkey for 2015?

It seems that FireMonkey controls lack any property 
for supporting BiDi since 2011 
http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=98644

Embarcadero says always it’s on the roadmap, is it 
for 2015, please give us a clear answer for 
supporting BiDi in FireMonkey

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

I am looking forward to seeing a support for creating 
the latest UI elements especially for Windows 10.

what is  about supporting BiDi mode in FireMonkey for 
2015?

Windows 10 - app store apps? 

Marco, can you elaborate on "support Windows 10 in full" 
please? Specifically, does it mean supporting Windows Store 
apps, something I know was not technically possible in Win 8 
due to the restriction? (Apps had to link against the VC libraries, 
I think. I haven't heard about any relaxation of this requirement 
in Win10 yet.)

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

Marco, would you please consider 2 years of release 
cycle for the major version, but still deliver 
update / service pack / add on pack on regular time 
frame let say 4 month. 

Update / service pack will be free for subcriber, 
but available with an update price, add on will not 
be free for all, and need to be purchase 
seperately. 

Add on is something like support for new 
android/ios/windows version support.

Major release include new IDE feature, new Language 
feature, new Platform supoort (like linux server or 
linux client or new mobile processor support) 

With this scheme, you can overcome the rapid 
changing in platform update (they updated not in 
the same time frame, so it is crazy to follow them 
all with major update, but very possible with just 
an add on). You can still keep delphi up to date 
with the latest release of each platform while you 
also keep in mind of all your user, that is the 
developer and also the component developer. 6 month 
is crazy for component developer to keep up. I'm 
pretty sure it is not a technical problem.

Please consider this.

Thanks

Iwan

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

I agree with the above. As a freelancer I cannot
afford to buy an update so often.

LLVW compiler 

Windows 32 bit C++ Compiler - LLVM base toolchain
(like 64bit).

Does this mean my current applications, which take 20
seconds to compile as 32 bit and 6 minutes as 64 bit,
will now take 6 minutes for both 32 and 64 bit?

No BiDi? 

Hi,

What about full BiDi Right-To-Left support for iOS and
Android?

Thanks,
Asaf

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

I would really like to see an equivalent of ?: in C 
supported in Delphi.
Like a := if b = c then x else y
It's so much more beautiful than
if b = c then
  a := x
else
  a := y
or the dreaded iff function
Will it ever come???? 
It doesn't seem difficult to parse and compile and 
the keywords needed are already there.

RAD Studio 2015 Roadmap 

Can you give us the ability to read values from a
tdataset without having to navigate to the record.

I can see that it's possible to do this using
TFDMemTable with statement like:


fdsPeople.Table.Rows.ItemsI[i].GetValues('FirstName',
True);


where 

  fdsPeople = instance of TFDMemTable

  i = an integer referring to the record index

This is a very small feature but it's very beneficial
to people working with database applications.

Thanks,
Loc Nguyen
