I note that some of you may not realize that our newsgroups have moved. They can now be found at https://forums.codegear.com. Note that you can access those forums either via the web interface or with an NNTP newsreader. I recommend Xananews — and excellent Delphi application.
Delphi and C++Builder in Dr. Dobbs — CodeGear Delphi 2009, [...]
Today we announced Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009. This is a pretty big day around here, as this release represents a big step forward. There has been a lot of work put into this release, and a lot of testing, too. Moving to Unicode and getting all the VCL and IDE features done and tested [...]
Jan Goyvaerts has a nice post talking about the interesting new-to-Tiburon string type called RawByteString. One thing to emphasize is that you should really never declare a variable of type RawByteString, but you should be free to use the type as a parameter to procedures and functions.
Sounds like folks in Germany are excited about [...]

Nice article on Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009 in eWeek.
Feel free to Digg This or Reddit that.
And while I was at it over on Digg, I submitted this one, too. That headline is priceless.
And speaking of social media sites, I’m slowly starting to get into Twitter.
Jim McKeeth has started up a Delphi [...]
TResourceAllocationChart draws a chart suitable for showing the allocation of resources. Those resources could represent rooms, cars, campsites, holiday cottages… in fact any resource that can only allocated to a single recipient at a time.

Nice interview with our new CEO, Wayne Williams, about the acquisition. (Keep in mind that when Wayne says "multi-platform" in a context like this magazine, he means database platforms.)

Tiburon is coming pretty soon, if you haven’t already figured that out. But what exactly is it?
Well, Tiburon is all about native code development. That which is code-named "Tiburon" is really the release of two separate products: Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009. In addition, you’ll be able to buy the two of them bundled [...]

As many of you have noticed, our newsgroups have gone down pretty hard. We get them back up, they stay up for a while, and then they crash again. The machine and the software is showing it’s age.
Fortunately, John Kaster and his team had already been in the process of a completely new solution for [...]
SmartInspect is a logging tool for Delphi, Java, and .Net.
And they are ready for Tiburon!
"Porting the library to UnicodeString had a positive impact on the performance of our logging library as the new UnicodeString is reference counted (and WideString is not). The performance gain is about 10-15%, but we do not have final numbers yet."

I just published an article about Tiburon: Delphi in a Unicode World Part I: What is Unicode, Why do you need it, and How do you work with it in Delphi?
