BCC 7.0 - what do you think about ?

[Marco Turco]

Hi all,
I'm going to update our FWH library to the July 2015 version but I'm in doubt if could it be convenient to update my BCC5.82 to the 7.00 too.

What do you think about ? Which advantages do we have moving to 7.00 ? Is there a better speed or better integration with the latest OSs (eg Windows 10) ?

Thank you in advance

Marco,

A more recent version of a software means less bugs, new enhancements and new features.

To me Harbour + FWH + BCC7 is working really fine

And of course, better integration with Windows 10

Hi Antonio, thank you for your point of view.
I have installed latest xharbour for BCC7.0 and BCC7.0 too from http://www.whosaway.com/

I succesfully compiled my apps, just two things;
- to complete the link and generate the .exe I need to copy into the app executable dir the lib uuid.lib. It's a bit strange, I'm doing well ?
- I have installed BCC7.0 from whosaway. They said it is an evaluation version. What does it means ? The generated executeble will expire ? I checked on the embarcadero website but I didn't find a BCC7.0 to buy but only the C++Builder® 10 Seattle. Where I can buy it if needed ?

Thank you

I can see no immediate advantages (ie. speed, etc.) but I agree with Antonio: better using updated compilers.

One immediate advantage is that bcc7 has header files for more recent windows APIs.
