Correlation of Delphi Release/Update dates and activity on SourceForge project “RAD Studio Demo Code”
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/07
Now that the there are RadStudio XE3 demos available at SourceForge.net Repository – [radstudiodemos] Index of /branches/RadStudio_XE3, and a post on a Delphi Event in New Zeeland rumours of an eminent Delphi/RAD Studio XE3 version start to raise.
It is fun to watch the activity stats on the SourceForge project RAD Studio Demo Code and correlate them to the Delphi release and update dates.
I made PNG images of two graphs. Click on them to enlarge, or click on the links to get to the statistics pages.
Note that when the span is wide enough, activity gets summed to the start of the month (first picture).
Project statistics graphs
| Project Statistics: RAD Studio Demo Code – from 2009-10-01 until 2012-10-01. |
Project Statistics: RAD Studio Demo Code – from 2012-07-15 until 2012-08-15. |

Correlation
The real fun is the correlation with the Delphi Release Dates – Delphi Programming and the Delphi update dates from the Delphi Registered User Downloads.:
| Year-Month | Date | Delphi/ RAD Studio version |
Release/Update |
| 2009-12 | 2009-12-14 | 2010 | Update 4/5 |
| 2010-08 | 2010-08-30 | XE | Release |
| 2011-07;2011-08 | 2011-09-02 | XE2 | Release |
| 2011-11 | 2011-11-01 | XE2 | Update 2 |
| 2012-04 | 2012-05-18 | XE2 | Update 4 + Hotfix |
| 2012-07 | 2012-??-?? | XE3? | Release? |

Delphi: about 3 weeks ago, the XE5 branch was added to the RadStudioDemos repository: « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff said
[…] bad the Sourceforge does not do stats pages any more, so you it is a lot harder to correlate project activity with potential release dates any […]
