I haven’t seen it yet, but I already think it won’t really reassure or impress anybody.I can’t speak for everyone, or really for anyone but myself, but I tend toīe pretty good at reading people and particularly at reading groups of people, and from what I’ve seen, this new roadmap will strike most people in the Delphi community as rather underwhelming no matter what’s in it, not because of what it contains, but because of what it lacks.

We won’t know anything for certain until an official announcement is made, but it’s sure starting to sound like the cross-platform features got delayed for whatever reason and are still in active development but won’t be in Delphi XE.Įmbarcadero’s Allen Bauer and John Kaster have both announced that they’re working on a new, updated roadmap that will be posted within a few days. And it’s interesting what they’re saying, and what can be read between the lines. The interesting thing here is that people from Embarcadero are responding immediately. Some people on the forums immediately interpreted absence of evidence as evidence of absence and started a big to-do about it. Well, Embarcadero has started to release some previews for Delphi 2011 XE, and what’s been released so far doesn’t show any obvious indications that the cross-platform features everyone was expecting will actually be present in this release.
