  +1 Here.
  
  The compatibility would be appreciated.
  An estimation of the release date would at least give us some visibility.
  Are we talking about days? or weeks?

  Hello GeorgeB,
  
  I have tried to compile under XE6. The readability suffers from lots of compiler directives for all the different versions supported (Delphi as well FPC & Lazarus). I found plenty of low-level access to calculate temporary folder & file names (partially in several units doing nearly the same thing). If you are using Delphi XE2 or later the authors could/should use System.IOUtils.TPath. I stopped after amending several units as I had more pressing tasks to do. It is certainly possible, but what caused me to move on was that I found multiple implementations of the same thing. If I get more time again, I might revisit the task. At this stage I hope that migrating FR 5 from XE5 to XE6 will be done soon by the authors of FastReport.
  
  Salut,
  Mathias

  FWIW, I emailed them late April, and they responded that XE6 will be available during May. So, in theory, should be sometime this month.
