<div dir="ltr">I have seen numerous reports indicating that the integration of Castalia in XE8 has (re)introduced stability issues in the IDE. I cannot fathom why it would present a problem on some machines but not others, unless there are differences between the machines that might explain the problems (lack of memory in some case ? 32 vs 64 bit OS ? Particular installation differences somehow throwing a spanner in the works ? Too many possible variables to be able to say I think).<br><br><br>I have to say that when I last looked at Castalia myself I reluctantly had to discontinue its use precisely because it made the IDE unstable, hopelessly so when working in larger projects. This was some years ago now and no doubt this area had been improved but if the reports are to be believed it seems that a lot of that good work was undone between XE7 and XE8.<br><br>There also appear to have been a number of regressions introduced into FMX with XE8.<div><br></div><div>Until Embarcadero manage to deliver a usable version of XE8 you should probably either simply stick with XE7 or whichever previous version you were using, or run with Castalia disabled where it is known/suspected to be causing problems. Depending on how the integration has been approached, this may or may not deal with the issues caused by that integration.<br><br>I would also add that the fact that this option to disable Castalia was provided has a very nasty whiff about it. Almost as if they knew it wasn't ready for release which frankly I find offensive, given the way they made hotfix/update availability contingent upon a maintenance agreement with this release.<br><br></div><div>+0.02</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 June 2015 at 13:14, John Bird <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnkbird@paradise.net.nz" target="_blank">johnkbird@paradise.net.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
