The first update for Delphi XE6 Firemonkey is released today and there is a long list of fixes that are related to Firemonkey and mobile. There are also some big fixes for the compiler, a few fixes relating to the IDE and mobile, BaaS fixes, and one or two app tethering fixes. Also of note is that AppMethod has been updated to bring it’s Firemonkey version into line with XE6 Update 1. The update is now available for download from Embarcadero. For the Win32 compiler there is this fix “Slow-down seen with XE6 floating point operations” which should bring XE6 back up to speed with XE5 for floating point operations. There is this fix for the mobile compilers “iOS and Android compilers have serious problems with heavy generic use“. And I also see this compiler fix “Multidimensional dynamic arrays are not finalized properly, leaking memory” so hopefully these compiler fixes will make everything more stable. On the Firemonkey front here is the list of fixes with Firemonkey (though a lot of the other fixes also indirectly fix Firemonkey as well):
