Despite the replies I've posted in forum posts over the past few months about our VCL roadmap, they're proving hard to find. Indeed, I couldn't find my previous answers myself and I wrote them. Sigh. Someone needs to teach me how to add searchable keywords...
Anyway, a quick recap of the 2009 roadmap for VCL customers is in order:
- ExpressQuantumTreeList v5 is almost done.
- ExpressLayout Control v2
- First beta will be released in Build 44
- List of features will be published with Build 44 (I'll publish them in a blog post then)
- Aiming for an August release
- ExpressPrinting System v4
- Beta in August
- Release in September/October
- Features include:
- PDF support
- Separate the ReportLink packages into design and runtime parts
