Tiburon Support across DevExpress VCL components

     

Just wanted to let our loyal Delphi customers know that we are relatively close to releasing the first beta of our VCL controls for Tiburon. We expect the beta sometime next week. 

If you're using Delphi and are planning to move all your projects to Tiburon, please let us know by commenting below. If you are not planning to port your projects and will not be using Tiburon, please let us know as well.

Thank you very much

Best Regards

Sebastian Modersohn said:

We're certainly going to port all our projects to Tiburon because we absolutely need Unicode support. Therefore it's much appreciated that you guys come out with an update in a timely manner.

But even if we wouldn't need Unicode - since we're actively developing in Delphi we want to stick to the latest versions. The RTL/VCL enhancement and fixes are simply too important to miss and new language features like generics certainly open up new possiblities.

Well, I sure will give Delphi 2009 a try, but not immediately. My projects are working very well with D2007 and there ist no immediate need to change. But I will stay with Delphi and hope you do so as well!

Rodrigo Diaz said:

Great news,

The answer is yes. I already have Tiburon installed on another VM and i'm planing to port my projects carefully, but a.s.a.p

Steffen said:

Sounds great. We plan to move all of our existing projects to Tiburon as soon as possible, but a still waiting for a few other third party developers. It is good to see you are releasing a beta this soon - keep up the good work.

Christopher Fieldhouse said:

I'll be moving to CB2009 as soon as you and NexusDB support it.

Nils H Dzubiel said:

The answer is yes. We are in the process of converting 2.8 million lines of code. Most of the Dialogs are done with the devexpress libs - so we are a good test case :-)

Great news! We are planning to move to D2009 and still waiting for 3rd party components, DevExpress being most important. Now, only ReportBuilder...

September 19, 2008 2:19 AM
 

Robert Baker said:

Moving to Delphi 2009 as soon as we can - depends on the availability of DevEx and some other third party components.

September 19, 2008 2:24 AM
 

Kevin Kozlowski said:

Yes, I've just installed D2009, and will be porting several projects that use DevExpress controls.

September 19, 2008 4:26 AM
 

Mark Sandy said:

Murat Sakarya said:

We did major modifications to support unicode on QuantumGrid 6.37. Also did a lot to support unicode on D2007 projects. Downloaded and testing D2009. Certainly will move to D2009 asap. Waiting for your move :)

September 19, 2008 7:00 AM
 

Thomas Laguzzi said:

September 19, 2008 7:37 AM
 

Laurent PIERRE said:

I'll move to Delphi 2009 as soon as possible too. I'll wait to see the stability of Delphi 2009 and an availability of stable DevExpress components. Then, certainly at the beginning of 2009, I'll port my projects carefully.

Thank you.

September 19, 2008 8:15 AM
 

Angus McFadzean said:

Yes, we will be moving once all components available.

Yes, we are going to use D2009 ASAP.

September 19, 2008 8:49 AM
 

Jeremy Knowles said:

I'll be moving everything to Delphi 2009 not because we need unicode, but because I like to keep up with the latest of everything I use, and I can't use it until all the 3rd Party components I use are available.

MARIO CORREA said:

Yes, i bought Tiburon, and will port my projects from Delphi 7, it´s time to use Unicode.

September 19, 2008 9:44 AM
 

Nathanial Woolls - DX Squad said:

No Delphi 2009 for us - at least not for now. We don't need Unicode or the new VCL controls. Generics would be nice but we have VS for that.

September 19, 2008 9:48 AM
 

Robert Fisher said:

We will be converting to Tiburon as soon as all our 3rd party vendors are ready.  

September 19, 2008 10:16 AM
 

B. Peuthert said:

Yes, Tiburon installed, running and just waiting for your update.

September 19, 2008 10:19 AM
 

Eric Schreiber said:

Though I have no pressing need for Unicode, I will be moving to D2009 eventually - probably in a six month time frame. As Sebastian Modersohn said, I like to stay pretty current with the version of Delphi I'm using.

September 19, 2008 12:36 PM
 

THALASSA Ingénierie informatique said:

Thanks a lot for the info.

Yes, we need the Unicode support ASAP

I am in the process of moving to Delphi 2009 right now.

How will the update to Expressbars and NavBar be handled, any information?  if you need Delphi 2009 beta tester I am willing to help.

September 19, 2008 1:32 PM

Mario said:

Yes, we're moving to Delphi 2009, just waiting for your component suite to be ready!

September 19, 2008 2:12 PM
 

Luke Grews said:

Yes, we will be using D2009 from Delphi 7!

September 19, 2008 2:18 PM
 

Brian Evans said:

Starting to test and will be moving as soon as all the third party components are either working in D2009 or replaced with something that does. Unicode isn't much of an issue but the speed incease from no longer using ANSI wrappers to API calls under Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista etc is highly anticipated. Also it makes the latter transition to 64bit easier.

Andreas Heinrich said:

Very good news! We start using D2009 and will convert our projects as soon as possible and need the third party components for it, particularly your grid component - the best one I know.

xalion quan said:

yes ,I will use D2009!!!!

September 19, 2008 11:41 PM
 

Sebastian said:

We've already moved most of our projects to Tiburon, and need official support for the DevExpress components as soon as possible.

The promised support for Delphi 2009 was the main reason why we've already purchased the upgrade to the latest version of all the DevExpress components we're using. Please make the beta available for everybody, not just for subscribers.

September 20, 2008 5:20 AM
 

Vikas David said:

We are planning to stick with Delphi for a lot of our products that are now quite mature. We will be extending them with the new Datasnap framework and Unicode support is also vital for international sales. Just waiting on 3rd party controls to be ready before moving products from D2007 to D2009.

I'll be moving over sometime in 2008. However, I cannot move over without ExpressVerticalGrid and PythonForDelphi, so I'll be patient.

Paul Heffernan said:

Yes, we desperately need unicode support and as our products are heavily dependent on DevExpress we are waiting on you guys to allow us port our products. All other components we use are up and running on 2009.

Please include us on your beta.

September 20, 2008 9:18 PM
 

Stef Merlijn said:

No, I want migrate my projects to D2009 for now. I don't need the unicode-support. But even then, I hope it will be available soon for all other users that do need it.

Been working with D2009 since it was available, trying to determine what upgrades our apps will require.  I've been anxiously waiting to see when DevExpress will support D2009 as the components are an important part of our application.  If you're looking for beta testers - please, pick me! :)

September 23, 2008 10:26 AM
 

Esteban Pacheco said:

Yup, have D2009, only waiting for DevExpress to have the mighty Quantum Grid up to the new Delphi Standard, and we will be renewing our Q5 Grid to the latest and greatest.

September 24, 2008 11:21 AM
 

Greg Stevenson said:

Have D2009, MMX7, SmartInspect 3.0, etc, DevExpress is the missing piece for us as well. Of course CodeRush for D2K9 would be apreciated as well. ;-)

Van Swofford said:

Yes.   I plan to migrate to D2009.  First need an extensive list of 3rd party components to be updated, then plan a major rewrite of my main app and supporting tools, and wanted to wait for all the new tools before beginning.
