Craig Stuntz’s Weblog

David Smith posted a list of QC defects he felt should have been fixed by the Delphi 7 service pack to borland.public.delphi.non-technical. Borland Senior R&D Engineer Steve Trefethen posted this reply:

I thought I’d do a bit more checking and report back on some of the progress that has already been made in D9 regarding these bugs….

So, out of that list there are already 14 bugs marked as "fixed" and almost half have been resolved in some way or another. I see that some of this information isn’t getting back to the QC client and I’m not quite sure how that works but I assume it will show up at some point.

Anyway, since nearly half of this list has been addressed feel free to post another list of issues.

So if you care about getting bugs fixed in Delphi, you simply must use QC.

Incidentally, I HTML-ified Steve’s list using Delphi 6, since I find the macro recorder makes repetitive formatting tasks much easier.
