Hi all,

We’ve organised with Embarcadero to run another session of the What’s New in 12.3 webinar in a timeslot where the sun is up for most of us.

Ian Barker, Gordon Li and myself will be hosting, and it’ll kick off on Friday the 14th of March at 11am Sydney/Melbourne time.

Registrations are open at Webinar: RAD Studio 12.3 Launch - Code Partners

Cheers
Malcolm

Only a little over an hour to go until the RAD Studio 12.3 webinar. It’s not too late to register.

Looks like this one might be well worth registering for. I just had a peak at the USA webinar and saw that 12.3 includes a 64 bit IDE along with the 32 bit IDE.

Hi @Malcolm,

Could you revisit my question about platforms across the 32/64 bit IDEs, Ian didn’t quite grasp what I was asking.

Longer term will it the 32 bit IDE continue to support both 32 and 64 bit targets and the 64 bit IDE support only 64 bit targets? Or may it go down the route of 32 bit only in the 32 bit IDE perhaps?

Today we can load build and debug both 32/64 bit targets in the 32 bit IDE. I wonder if that needs to continue?

Obviously the ideal is to be able to run anything from anywhere, but would it consume less of Embarcadero’s resources if the 32 bit IDE only targeted 32 bit platforms and the 64 bit IDE only targeted 64 bit platforms?

The mileage of others may vary but my first thoughts are that I think I could work within that limitation without too much trouble.

Is there a vision for what the spread of IDE versions and targeted platforms for each looks like in say 2 years from now?

The impression that I got was that the 32-bit IDE would continue to function as it is for the foreseeable future and that it’s probably only going to be dropped when Windows is updated to no longer run 32-bit applications.

Yep, the plan at this stage is that all the platforms, including Win32, mobile, etc, will be available in the 64 bit IDE. Obviously at some point the 32 bit IDE will probably be deprecated, but there’s certainly no planned date for that. But once the 64 bit IDE is at parity, it will inevitably become the primary IDE.

For those of you who maybe missed the start (or the whole thing), the replay is uploading as we speak and will be at https://youtu.be/NEzRDGDDtLs once it is done.

Windows is updated to no longer run 32-bit applications.

Gee I hope they NEVER do that. Then again, I thought dropping the ability to run 16 bit apps was harder than continually allowing them to run. It’s not as though there’s much code involved at all!
