Continued hotfixes even during ramp up to Highlander launch! Much appreciated
and yet another encouraging sign of the new CG culture, including the resources
+ willingness to work on many things at the same time.

IB 6 versions prior to 6.0.1.6 are pre-release and may corrupt
your DBs! Open Edition users, get 6.0.1.6 from mers.com
 

Nick, its does not look like these HotFixes include Steve's performance
improvements and Steve confirmed this to me in his blog.
The original poster asked about Steve's performance enhancements
specifically and if these were going to make it into a hotfix soon. Could
you comment on this please.

Nick, specifically from Steve's blog post (see below) are these going to
come in a hotfix for D2006 soon?
Lately, there's been a lot of effort put into improving the Delphi IDE's
UX and I wanted to comment briefly that in the past week alone we've made
some great progress. For example, there have been recent improvements in:
* IDE flicker (now nearly flicker free)
* Desktop switching performance
* GDI resource management
* Moving controls on the form designer via the keyboard
* Form designer grid repaint issues
* Compiler time stamp access (thanks to Andreas Hausladen)
* VCL control painting (thanks to Pierre le Riche)
* VCL control data handling performance
* FastCode routines added to the RTL (btw, a huge thanks to the whole
FastCode crew who contribute to this great project benefiting us all)
One of the best things about a number of these fixes is that they're in
the RTL/VCL so your applications will benefit as well. Btw, several of
them came from QC so it definitely pays off to get your bugs logged.
Anyway, we're cranking away and there's more to come but I am pleased with
the progress and thought it was worth mentioning.
