Delphi 2006 vs Delphi 2009 IDE stability
Hello, all. I have medium sized project which includes about 20Mb of source code (just size of *.pas files). I use Delphi 2006. There are third party component suites JVCL, DevExpress Bars, Pegasus Imaging. All updates applied. The main problem is IDE stability. About four..five times a day IDE become unstable after intensive usage of code insight functions (most often I press Ctrl+Space key). The best outcome is that I have to save everything and restart the IDE. The worst outcome is when IDE stalls or falls into endless loop of error messages and any unsaved work is lost. OS - Vista. I want to know if Delphi 2009 IDE have significantly improved stability or its stability same as in Delphi 2006. Question to all D2009 users. How many times you had to restart IDE because of IDE failure let's say last two weeks?

I restarted it one or two times because it made Windows look like it was out of GDI handles (both RAD Studio and other programs began to display incomplete window title bars, white areas instead of icons etc.), but I did not yet experience an IDE instability that forced me to restart.

Hello, I'm currently using D2007 with a project group which has > 100K LOC. The only problem I sometimes face is, that when I do File/Close all I get a Index out of bounds(1) message and have to restart the IDE. But I'm not loosing source code with this. I think D2009 is even more improved as far as I already saw it. It has even faster startup times. Greetings Markus

Hi Andrew, our main project has > 750k LoC "pure delphi". It was ported from D5 over 2006 (Turbo Delphi) to D2007, the move to D2009 is in the pipeline. D2006 was a pain, several times a day I had to restart the ide. With switching to D2007 all the pain was gone - it runs smooth, stable and well. I expect the same with D2009. Greetings Udo

It wasn't until 2007 that I could even do a full days work in a version of Delphi higher than 7 without screaming, crying, and tearing out my hair. Delphi 2007 is solid, but had its annoyances for me, including the darn tool palette focus issue (solved in 2009) and a few editor .cpp assertion failures (which send the IDE crashing to a halt). Delphi 2009 has been rock solid, and it is the best version of Delphi ever, in my humble opinion. I have not tried the Remote Debug yet in 2009 but if it works great, then I am ready to retire Delphi 7 at last, forever. If it doesn't support remote debug, then I will have to keep Delphi 7 around until CodeGear gets it right. But other than that, I have no issues. Has anyone tried remote debug in 2009? Warren

Yes; it works well (although I can speak for C++Builder only).

Question about Delphi 2009 vs Delphi 7
Hi, I was wondering if any of you can point me to a URLs that show the most important improvements between these versions of Delphi.

Delphi 4 to Delphi 2009
Hello, Thanks to all who answered my previous question. That was a great help. And atlast our client agreed to upgrade our delphi version from 4 to Delphi 2009. *Sigh*. But before that, I need to give the estimation and cost regarding the migration to delphi 2009. Can anyone tell me is there any tool to migrate from delphi 4 to delphi 2009 or just I need to compile our Delphi 4 application in Delphi 2009.

Importing Delphi 2009 project in Delphi 2006
I've been using Delphi 2006 for a while and have never really felt the need to upgrade to a newer release given the expense. I'm looking at taking over on a project from someone else who developed it in Delphi 2009. The only code incompatibilities he can think of is some of the Unicode changes that were introduced after D2006 but that should be fairly easy to fix. My main concern is whether or not a project that was created in Delphi 2009 can even be *opened* in Delphi 2006. I don't know how file exte nsions or formats have changed between the two versions. Can anyone give me...

vcljpg to vclimg, packages and Delphi 2006 vs Delphi 2010 compatibility
Hello, everybody. I have a package A which has vcljpg in its "requires" clause. I have another several packages B, C, D, E, etc which has A in theirs "requires" clauses. All packages are both Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2010 compatible. The problem is that there is no vcljpg package in Delphi 2010 and in order to compile the whole bunch of packages I have to change vcljpg to vclimg and compile. Unfortunately it renders the whole set of packages incompilable under Delphi 2006. Is there a way to create an alias for vclimg or vcljpg in order to get the same code...

Upgrading to Delphi 2009 from Delphi 5
I've decided it's time to upgrade to Delphi 2009 Professional from my current Delphi 5 Professional which (according to the FAQ) makes me eligible for the upgrade pricing.

When installing the trial I noticed that Delphi 2009 registers itself with your CodeGear account so does this mean that the previous version must be registered there to verify you own a Professional edition?
