[DUG] XE Upgrade

[Jolyon Smith]

>From what has been blogged/demonstrated of the SVN IDE integration, it
doesn't appear as flexible or as useful (imho) as the JEDI SVN plug-in or
indeed straightforward Tortoise.  This could be the result of being an SVN
"adapter" that is part of a generic (little "g") version control plug-in
framework, rather than being SVN specific, as such.  Just a guess.

 

FinalBuilder, AQ Time etc... yeah, all very good if you don't already have
them.  And the versions in the RAD Studio bundle are as far as I know
"up-sell" editions - that is, functionally limited vs the separately
available products - useful/usable, certainly, but you aren't getting full
"retail" versions of those products.

 

The bug fixes may be worth the money, but then you might consider that bugs
should get fixed in the versions you have already paid for.

 

And don't forget to factor in the costs of upgrading any 3rd party component
libraries - unlike D2007 this release will by all accounts be a breaking
change.

like I say I had really not seen anything definitive. Admittedlty I didnt
look THAT hard :-)
Begs the question, why upgrade?  About the only thing that I have seen we
can use right now is the SVN stuff, and the Final builder stuff could come
in handy.
We have just abount finished upgrading a project from D2007 to D2010, well
its upgraded just working on new functionality, and Generics was a good
reason for us to upgrade and its definitly paid off I have to say.

Nope - XE has no cross-platform support (in the sense of Delphi compiler
support for anything other than Win32).

 

What rock have you been living under for the past month!?  J

how big is the download?

One thing I am not sure about, and I keep hearing conflicting things,  will
XE have cross platform support?  I have seen and heard about there being not
64bit, and I have seen the extra tools that are now in Xe fromt he videos,
but they seem to have stared well clear of any info on cross platform.
Without opeing an hornets nets, will XE have cross platform? if not, will it
be in an  "update" patch? I am just confused about it now.

Anyone else had an email about getting their XE upgrade?  I just got mine
now, although not going to rush to get it JUST yet.
