I'm trying to guess at what the latest date is that we might expect to get BCB support in Delphi 2006. So what were the release dates for: Delphi v4 v5 v6 v7 2005 My guess is that the release cycle is more like 18+ months. Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? (adapted from a post I made in Delphi non-tech earlier this fall): Statistically Delphi releases are 14.5 months apart on the average (below are shipping dates, as far as I've been able to track it through old press releases etc): D1 -> March 1995 D2 -> March 1996 -> 12 months D3 -> May 1997 -> 14 months D4 -> Aug 1998 -> 15 months D5 -> Sep 1999 -> 13 months D6 -> June 2001 -> 21 months D7 -> Aug 2002 -> 14 months D8 -> Dec 2003 -> 16 months D2005 -> Nov 2004 -> 11 months Summary: 8 releases in 116 months = 14.50 months between each release. (amazing but true, such a nice figure!) But remember that the IDE and VCL framework are both pretty much 'ready and waiting' in this case, so (my guess) it's more about adapting/fixing the C++ compiler, which is a much narrower task (but also fewer people actually (avail)able to work on it). We'll see. -- Kristofer Back to top Andreas Hausladen Guest Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2004 7:33 am    Post subject: Re: [corrected update] What are the dates of the last 5 Delp Kristofer Skaug wrote: Quote: D6 -> June 2001 -> 21 months Kylix is included in the 21 months. -- Regards, Andreas Hausladen Back to top Tom Reiertsen Guest Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2004 7:36 am    Post subject: Re: What are the dates of the last 5 Delphi release dates?

At BorCon 2004, it was said (by Danny Thorpe) that there would be a new version of Delphi released shortly after the full version of .Net 2.0 would be released. .Net 2.0 is still scheduled for Q2/Q3 of 2005 I believe so unless things have changed at either Microsoft or Borland I think you should expect to see a new version sometime in Q3 of next year.

Tom, If MS brings out .NET 2.0 late we could be waiting till 2006 for the next Delphi.

Recall from the letter that Borland stated they would release CPPBuilder in or *before* Delphi 2006. Will -- Want a 64-bit Delphi compiler for AMD64 / IA-32e?

True. It becomes very confusing because I believe as of BCB5 or so, the BCB team == the Delphi team and Delphi team == Kylix team except that later, some BCB people were possibly rerouted to CBX and Delphi people were doing C#Builder and Galileo (D8, D2005). So it's almost impossible to directly compare these release cycle times. -- Kristofer Back to top Kristofer Skaug Guest Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2004 11:00 am    Post subject: Re: What are the dates of the last 5 Delphi release dates?

I think this is exactly why Borland says "[C++Builder release] on or before next Delphi". Since the C++Builder release is targeted at Win32/VCL primarily, they have no need to wait for .NET 2.0 and consequently also do not need to wait for Delphi2006. -- Kristofer Back to top Tom Reiertsen Guest Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:38 am    Post subject: Re: What are the dates of the last 5 Delphi release dates?

Quote: Tom, If MS brings out .NET 2.0 late we could be waiting till 2006 for the next Delphi. Hi Randall, I really don't know more than what was said at BorCon so you would have to ask Borland that question there. But I guess what Kristofer said makes sense in that regard (that they might ship an addon to 2005 instead of waiting for ..Net 2.0). Best Regards, Tom.
