My recollection from DelphiLive! (San Jose) is that Project-X is specifically targeting Mac and Linux support, and not involving Windows per se (except in so far as the 64-bit support will also depend on the re-architected compiler).
i.e. re-architecting the compiler impacts on/delivers into ALL of the projects to support Mac/Linux/Win32/Win64/etc??!, but "Project X" is about building a VCL framework (or equivalent) for Mac and Linux GUI apps. I could be wrong, but that was the impression I took away from the event. My own personal hope is that it will involve separate implementations for Mac (Cocoa?) and some other GUI framework for Linux. That is, not 3 entirely distinct and separate VCL's, but 3 distinct visual control frameworks, building on a single-source shared foundation. Imagine having Cocoa/GDE/X-Windows GUI toolkits ALL supported by TActionList's and a cross platform gesture recognition engine, etc etc The worst *possible* idea, imho, would be to try and create a One-Size-Fits-All VCL for Mac/Linux/Windows. -- "Smile", they said "it could be worse!" So I did. And it was. _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
