The BCC compiler should only be included if it is mature enough at that point to not regress in any areas versus the existing compiler. Then Borland ought to ask all users to submit QC reports and vote on existing QC reports to give Borland a good idea on what are the most important bugs to fix. Then Borland ought to go into a beta with the new BCB with the Beta handed out to those people who have submitted QC bugs that are to be fixed in the beta. Then Borland should release an incredibly solid BCB. If Borland did this then a lot of disgruntled C++ customers would change their attitudes toward Borland and would be a lot more inclined later on to eventually upgrade to BCBX. A very solid BCB would get a lot of sales in my view. Everyone who is still at v4 or v5 and doing active development would have an incentive to get a BCB that boosted productivity due to fewer bugs.

I'm not going to hold my breath, but I'd be one of those who would *gladly* pay for an upgrade if that happened (I'm still at BCB5). In fact, I'd even pay the *retail* price if Borland could do that! - Dennis Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2003 2:46 am    Post subject: Re: What Borland ought to do with a BCB v6.5 or v7 version "Randall Parker" <STOPtechiepundit (AT) EVILfuturePOXpunditSPAM (DOT) com> wrote in message news:3fb6c7d2$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com... Quote: Borland ought to announce that there is going to be another version of BCB Won't happen, they already said as much. Quote: that will include - the Delphi v7 or later VCL, An upcoming version of CBX will include the VCL. Whether that will be VCL v6, v7, or v8 has not been said. Hopefully, they will include at least v7. Quote: - fixes for all the linker scaling bugs, Since CBX has a new linker, that does not apply. Quote: - fixes for the most annoying IDE and build bugs, Since CBX has a new IDE, that does not apply. Quote: - and perhaps the new BCC compiler. CBX already includes the new compiler. Currently, it is the preview version, but an upcoming version of CBX will include the full version. Quote: Then Borland ought to ask all users to submit QC reports and vote on existing QC reports to give Borland a good idea on what are the most important bugs to fix. People can already do that right now. The problem is, the voting feature of QC sucks! You have a limited number of votes, and to place new votes you have to remove existing votes first.

That is not how the beta program works. Gambit Back to top William E.

I guess I have just missed this info else where since I do not visit these newsgroups daily. Does anyone have an idea of time frame? Are we looking at weeks or months?
