Actually, the upgrade to Qt 3 was Andreas Hausladen's doing, and he did release it, but it isn't available online anymore. It was an impressive piece of work, and I think it laid the groundwork for Lazarus' Qt support, since I remember seeing Zeljan's name associated with it too. We do have a shocking number of fixes on top of it though. > If they shared all there Kylix enhancements, I have no idea. No, we haven't. Borland screwed up the Kylix community project, and Andreas stopped maintaining the unofficial patches at the same time, so there isn't anywhere for us to share them. > So at least the framework around Kylix has grown, after is was > "considered" to be dead. It was "considered" dead, and then the Kylix community project and Borland's poor handling of Simon Kissel's cross-compiler killed it completely. > Also, Kylix 3 is still perfectly fine for web development work. I'm not aware of any Linux distro post-2006 that runs the IDE, and even then you needed a hack to debug threads. We would have given it up years ago, but I thought Delphi's cross-platform support would use Qt right up until they purchased VGScene. I'm sure there are a few other holdouts, but there's certainly no community anymore. Before they removed it, the .kylix newsgroup's last post was in 2008 or so. -- Craig Peterson Scooter Software -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
