DOA 4.1

We still want to process some feedback before the final 4.1 version is released. I don't have an exact date yet.
 
Hi Marco,

there are critical bugs in the current version, e.g. a memory leak i told you about in July.

I think it's not right to let people wait so long for a bugfix. I can't tell my customers to get there problems fixed in about one year...

Your Lib is really great work, but if you don't fix the bugs, it is not possible to use it for professional develeopment.

regards,
Ralf

Your Answer:
It seems that this is indeed a memory leak. The LOB's and the list are only freed in case of an exception. We have fixed this for the next release.
...
We'll have a beta for 4.1 available later this week, which adds Unicode support and includes this particular fix.

So:
You ment that you will fix the memory leak in Version 4.1, or not?

Hi Marco,

some time ago i've asked for a different packaging (2 packages, run - time and design-time) in order to be able to use the "build with runtime packages" build option with DOA.
Is this feature now present ?

Will version 4.1 include integrated help for Delphi2006?

Or at least a .chm version of the helpfile?

I am currently developing on Windows Vista and there is no support for old .hlp files anymore in Vista.

I think it will be early april. We will first release PL/SQL Developer 7.1 by the end of this month, and then Direct Oracle Access 4.1.
 
PL/SQL Developer will be released within 2 weeks, and Direct Oracle Access 4.1 will follow shortly thereafter.

Hopefully by the end of this year :-(

In germany there is a saying: "Die Hoffung stirbt zuletzt."
I would translate this to "The hope will never die."
 
Version 4.1 is available on the registered download page now. The trial version will follow in a few days.

Hy Marco,

is there a list of new features/enhancements for the 4.1 or does this version only add unicode support ?

Best regards

Originally posted by Marco Kalter:
The only functional change is that it adds Unicode support compared to 4.0.
In this and other threads there are many request for changes/new features not related to unicode support (i.e. separated run-time and design-time packages).
Do you confirm that no one of these requests are implemented in 4.1 ?

Best regards

4.1 is just about Unicode. Other enhancement requests will be fulfilled in future releases.
Can you give use a time frame ?
We are waiting for some (promised) new features and fixes...

Best Regards

Marco,
is DOA at the end of the road ?
Do you plan to dismiss the product ?
Please be honest, can we wait for more than 1 year to have new features or fixes ?

Best regards

At this point I consider DOA a dead product.

There are no updates.
I have to buy an upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 for just some unicode support.
There haven't been an new features for a few yeas now.
No info about the new Oracle 11G support.
No integrated help for Delphi 2007
No .NET version.

So, from this moment on, we will stop using DOA for all new projects and fase out all projects that use DOA.

We are very dissapointed with the current development (or better lack of...) of DOA right now.

What you will use for yours new projects, when you stop using DOA?

Most of our new projects will be .NET projects. (C#, no Delphi anymore)
For the few Delphi projects we are investigating 2 options: ODAC and SQLDirect.

Our frustration is not only DOA but Delphi in general.
