Bug fix list for RAD Studio 10 Seattle

Im all for the focus on W10, however I feel that FireMonkey is starting to fall behind the likes of Xamarin for mobile development. It would have been nice to have better ways to access native component's and libraries. But looks good so far!

I think I will wait a week or two before updating to XE10. Takes that long for them to figure out the major bugs and for the third parties to tweak their products. With XE8 I was shut down for 3 days because my third party libraries had issues with the new version and it took a few days for them to fix the issues.

Hi all,

Just an unimportant comment.

We mentioned "XE10" here, but it seems that a new "denomination" fork is ready to be launched.

I think they gave up "XE" era and present us the new "C++Builder <Number> <Codename>" mark and the first one has direct association with "Windows 10". Don't you agree this might, at least, seems awkward for a release of a multi-platform IDE?

Man, I hope Embarcadero's marketing guys have planned or thought about the following releases. In other words, will the number "11" sync with next Windows OS release too? In six months? Nahh...

Maybe "C++Builder 15.9" would sounds too simple or too intuitive, isn't it? I think the Code::Block community will not rise any plagiarism motion.

I don't know... I try, but this Embarcadero's phase looks like fuzzy for me.

Best,

Marcelo.

They have a new naming scheme

C++ is now CX
Delphi is now DX
Rad Studio is now RX

I notice that they now have full support for clang C++11. However looking down the compatibility details, the Apple compilers do not support those language extensions. So need to keep using the old school (which I prefer anyway) C/C++ bcc compiler. XE10 defaults to the BCC compiler, requires selecting to use the clang compiler to use the C++11 extensions.

Personally I do not see the need for those extensions. The extensions are creeping away from the fundamental concepts and ideals of the C language.

I am still quite surprised they have not given support to Windows Phone, documented any support for iOS 9 features such as the integrated spotlight search or Apple Pay or Android Marshmallow & Android Pay. Considering they market Appmethod as cross-platform development and RAD as well one would think they would do this!

The Dockwiki says that the new CLANG 11 supports Lambda's but I thought bcc supported this anyway?

WP's market share is still too small to warrant the effort.
