QuoteJust had a look on Lazarus. Unfortunately it seems that it do not come Right now I think FPC/Lazarus is _very_ close, but just a little too far beyond the 'usability' edge to migrate from Delphi (difficult component management, plus the need to tweak Delphi units for compatability - to name a few things). Lazarus just needs a few strong hands to help it up the last 2-3 steps to stand next to D7. -- Kristofer |

<snip> QuoteI missed the audio feed, but as it seems all the Kylix questions Kylix question was asked. As far as i could see nothing went unanswered, some things like the 64 bit thing where answered just about every hour. The verdict is, not this year period. This year the focus is on Dexter and Highlander. The .NET part of Dexter is for .NET 1.1, the .NET part of Highlander is for .NET 2.0. We could expect Highlander shortly after .NET 2.0 is released. At least that is what i understood from what was said. Regards, Marco. |

I suppose that if .NET 2.0 support is the main difference, then anyone who doesn't care about .NET would not bother to wait for Highlander. -- Kristofer |

Re:Kylix?QuoteAny news about Kylix in the 24 hours? weren't answered. We only got the "Borland is focussed on the Kylix community project" lie again. Quote> Basically, Borland intend to facilitate a 'dual licence' arrangement where they hand the CLX code over to the open source community for ongoing devleopment ('FreeCLX') while they retain rights to commercially sell or extend the code. I missed the details, and the logic for it escapes me, but that was the gist of it. HTH Lauchlan M |

Re:Kylix?QuoteBasically, Borland intend to facilitate a 'dual licence' arrangement and using CLX without having to release the source-code for these application as well. I guess this is a point of the GPL is turning off a lot of potential users that would want to use it for commercial purposes. Steve |

Re:Kylix?
I would tend to agree, it shows strong potential, I could actually use
it now if it just supported MDI and a webbroker clone :-) It is more than usable for simple singe form type apps. QuoteLazarus just needs a few strong hands to help it up |

Re:Kylix?Quote<< And regarding the FreeCLX project the point is that for nearly 10 months now, this project hasn't achieved anything (nor written a single line of code), for the simple reason that it is STILL waiting for Borland to even give them the source code and a license to it. So "Borland is focussed on the Kylix community project" simply boilds down to "Borland is focussed on doing NOTHING while at the same time completely blocking those who are trying to help Borlands". And while this is bad enough, they are also abusing the FreeCLX team as an excuse for not providing an update to Kylix their customers are asking for. And that is not too nice. Simon |

Re:Kylix?QuoteBest part was during the Dr. Bob interview when DavidI asked him what he asking for a new version all the time. Ignoring customer demand won't work in the long run. Kylix needs a road map. Simon |
