Greetings and thanks

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

Which memory leak do you mean?

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?
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 11/28/06 11:00 PM
Yes, it's fixed in 4.1.
Posted By: Jens Fudickar Re: DOA 4.1 - 12/13/06 09:12 PM
But did you have a release date?

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 ?

Best regards

DOA 4.1 can process surrogate pair properly??
Im just wondering if DOA4.1 can do it or not.
Posted By: ldsandon Re: DOA 4.1 - 12/28/06 05:45 PM
I second Sergio's request - run and design time packages are a must when an applications uses run-time packages.

Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 02/05/07 06:45 PM
It should be out this month.
Posted By: Jens Fudickar Re: DOA 4.1 - 02/05/07 09:00 PM
Are you sure :-(
Posted By: Johan Re: DOA 4.1 - 02/14/07 03:14 PM
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.

There is a beta release for registered users. Marco can give you the details.

We are pressed from custumers needing new features and asking us to switch to other more evolving products. (i.e. http://crlab.com/odac/history.html)

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.
Posted By: ldsandon Re: DOA 4.1 - 04/03/07 06:21 PM
Given that PL/SQL Dev was not released yet, is the DOA 4.1 release postponed too?
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 04/03/07 09:57 PM
PL/SQL Developer will be released within 2 weeks, and Direct Oracle Access 4.1 will follow shortly thereafter.

Will DOA version 4.1 use variables in QBE as in previous versions?

Do you have now a release date for DOA 4.1?
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 05/07/07 10:31 PM
Hopefully by the end of this month.

In germany there is a saying: "Die Hoffung stirbt zuletzt."
I would translate this to "The hope will never die."

Do you have now a release date for DOA 4.1?
Perhaps the last date for it?
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 06/15/07 05:58 PM
We're ironing out the last Unicode compatibility issues, and should be ready this month.
Posted By: jomaa Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/05/07 05:51 PM
What about a new release date?!
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/06/07 05:19 PM
It should be available next week.
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/07/07 05:28 PM
Version 4.1 is available on the registered download page now. The trial version will follow in a few days.

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

Best regards

Sergio Sette
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/09/07 07:56 PM
The only functional change is that it adds Unicode support compared to 4.0.

[quote]Originally posted by Marco Kalter:

Do you confirm that no one of these requests are implemented in 4.1 ?

Best regards

Posted By: ldsandon Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/09/07 09:20 PM
Is there at least a list of changes (i.e. fixes)? And is there a DOA roadmap? <g>
Posted By: Marco Kalter Re: DOA 4.1 - 07/10/07 10:00 PM
4.1 is just about Unicode. Other enhancement requests will be fulfilled in future releases.

We are waiting for some (promised) new features and fixes...

The time frame should be end of this year / early next year.

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 ?

hi.does doa 4.1 support delphi5?
Posted By: Johan Re: DOA 4.1 - 08/09/07 02:31 AM
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.

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.
