    We are working on finalizing RB 10 - it will include support for D2006.

    Probably a few weeks time...

    Will RB 10 support Visual Studio 2005?

    Win32 VCL only.

    We are working towards an RB for .NET for the future...

    We have not announced pricing for RB 10. However, I would expect upgrade
    cost will be in line with the current upgrade prices listed on our web site.

    There will be not further updates to RB 9.x

    Slight typo - that should read 'There will be no further updates to RB 9.x'

    Hi Nard,

    Will RB 10 support D7 as well?

    Thanks

    Could you tell me if the following are fixed/addressed in 10.

    1.) Firebird by default orders its result sets with null at the end of
    the result set. this breaks joins in reports as nulls are expected
    first. I posted in this group on August 1st 2005 about this.

    2.) The items pipeline is very slow in a Client server setup when there
    are lots of reports. I posted about this on August 5th 2005 and 27
    September 2005.


    Would it be possible to get an unsupported version of the dcus that
    go with the closed source parts of RB 9.02. That way I can rebuild
    Reportbuilder myself for D2006.
    This is the last third party component set that I'm waiting on to
    support delphi 2006 and I have a window in my workload to actually make
    the move to D2006. In a few weeks time I will most likely be too busy
    to move all my source to D2006.

    Best Regards.
    Will.

    We have to work with Delphi 2006 right now,
    but can't link the RB part!

    There's no need for an update.
    Version 9.03 with DCUs for Delphi 2006 would be enough.

    Why not distribute the closed source part as
    linkable .obj files?

    just my 2 cents: we should be glad to have excellent tools in the VCL
    market, which is not a growing market and all know that it has a limited
    life span. To keep companies that make excellent components, such as
    Digital-Metaphors and ReportBuilder, around we need to be willing to pay for
    them or face the alternatives. I know it is not cheap, but the cost of
    losing companies is very expensive for me.
