Kylix sudah final release. Kalau ngga salah, sudah start shipping
sejak 22/Feb/2001 dan akan available di toko-toko, mulai awal
Maret ini.
Di bawah ini saya lampirkan cuplikan chat antara team Kylix dgn
"khalayak umum" bbrp waktu lalu.

AndersO: sebmol: "What about the C++ Version of Kylix? When will it
probably be ready (to be released)?"
- When its ready...
Sometime after Delphi 6. Delphi 6 is scheduled for Q2.
AndersO: RDM: "To run a Kylix Application, QT libs (*.so) are needed ?"
- If you write a Kylix app that uses any CLX
components that use the QT libs, then you need them. Often they are
already on the distro though.
rkozak: Delphinut: "Will there be a free version of Kylix available for
download on the Borland site?"
- Yes, the Kylix Open Edition will be made available Mid 2001
ramesh: Bulwark: "Will the free edition support DB connections?"
- No decisions yet on what dbExpress drivers will be
available on the free edition.
AndersO: DCoder: "Can I make CGIs with the Desktop Version?"
- No. Apache support is in Server.
dthorpe: masilver: "Does Kylix run on FreeBSD?"
- FreeBSD does not fully support the Linux ELF semantics. There is a linux
ELF loader emulator for FreeBSD, but it still has problems. Kylix apps
can run under the FreeBSD ELF emulator if youre lucky
and not pushing things hard.
AndersO: johnjac: "What about support for executables for non-x86
platforms?"
- Not currently.
AndersO: doychin: "Can I use open edition to develop apache modules?"
- You *can*. If you do it all yourself. Otherwise only
Server with NetCLX.
jkaster: sebmol: "when will we see kylix in the stores?"
- Probably the start of March
dthorpe: gw2: "Is it true that Borland submitted patches for kernel 2.4?"
- We have submitted bug reports and fixes to several
Linux system libraries. As far as I know, everything weve flagged in
glibc has been addressed in glibc 2.2.1
rkozak: DCoder: "Will Kylix run under KDE 2.0? How about Gnome, without
problems?"
- I regularly run Kylix under Helix
Gnome and KDE. Others here run Kylix under KDE 2.0
AndersO: nobody: "Am I allowed to develop MPLed open-source software with
the free-version?"
- No, I believe its only GPL.
Ill have to check though.
dthorpe: Mr_Gates: "Will you be sending Bill Gates an evaluation copy of
Kylix?"
- Im sure Mr. Gates is already well informed of Kylix.
dthorpe: Brion: "What is likely to be "wrong" with most
distributions?"
- Older installations will need updates or
patches to the glibc libraries to support Kylix. Patches for the glibc
2.1.3 and 2.2 libs have been submitted to the maintainers,
and are also included on the Kylix CD.
AndersO: gw2: "How many programmer-years went into the porting process?"
- Including overtime and no sleep... Lots and lots.
dthorpe: Itchy: "does that mean that the server developer is NOT the
enterprise edt? Where is the diff. between the server
developer and the enterprise?"
- Enterprise edition is not Server edition.
Enterprise will include CORBA support, and will be
released some time after Kylix Developer and Kylix Server. Kylix
Developer
and Kylix Server are what were announcing today.
dthorpe: slimjim: "Can Kylix be used to create device drivers in Linux?"
- Kylix produces user-mode ELF executables. GUI RAD
really isnt appropriate for kernel development.
ramesh: infamousb: "did DBExpress getting linked into the exe make it into
the release?"
- You will see than in DELPHI 6 and
not in KYLIX first release.
abauer: pmorey: "Is Borland shifting its strategy from Windows to Linux by
releasing Kylix before Delphi 6?"
- Not at all. Kylix
just appeared first on the schedule. We have had a contingent of
engineers working on Delphi 6.
ramesh: russte: "Will dbExpress allow access to legacy db formats (i.e.,
DBase, Paradox), and in their networked versions
also?"
- No, we are recommending to migrate to INTERBASE or MySQL.
ramesh: ofer: "Any benchmarks for DB apps?"
- Our initial dbExpress drivers bechmark shows that we are twice faster than
BDE.
rkozak: sebmol: "Will CLX on Windows use QT as an underlying layer?"
- Although, the windows CLX will use the same
windowing layer as under linux, it does resolve down to calls to the
WinAPI in Windows.
cjaz: sebmol: "So using CLX in Windows will be slower than the VCL,
right?"
- The performance will be different, in some
areas faster in others slower. It really depends on what you are doing.
cjaz: KylexMllr: "Will Kylix always be one version behind Delphi in
feature set? Will we have to wait till D7s near release to get
D6 features in Kylix?"
- Kylix is not a version behind. It has most of the
features of Delphi 5 plus a number of components and
features that will not show up until Delphi 6. You can expect this kind
of leap frogging to continue.
cjaz: Itchy: "VCL: The VCL will stay with us forever? Will be getting new
features? Is that correct?"
- CLX does not replace VCL.
CLX provides a single source, cross platform option for Delphi and
Kylix applications. There will always be a windows specific
VCL. We will continue to take if forward and improve it with every
future version of Delphi.
