Individually, the Turbo Delphi releases and the new improvements added in Delphi 2009 are two of the best things that have happened to Delphi in a long time. But currently you can only get one or the other. Does anyone know if Embarcadero has any plans to release a Turbo Delphi 2009?

I'm a paying customer with my own copy of D2009, but I'm trying to set up an open-source project that's going to use Generics quite a bit, and it would really help with getting other people on board if the language was available as a free download.

There's some info in this podcast. What we know now: Yes, there will probably be one. But it probably won't be as feature-rich as the last Turbo was.

...you know, I've heard that podcast. Must have forgotten that part. Thanks for the reminder! So does anyone have some more up-to-date info, since that was a few months ago?
