What browsers is supported by stable Dart 1.1.1 - where can I find such information or results of tests done on browsers. I want be sure what I can except in future version.
It is not clear for me what mean "major browsers" since it is not clear if it is tested. I plan to use dart since can be nice in doing advanced application.
I think only about compatibility of Dart/JavaScript - not interested in pure Dart in Chromium.
From the Dart FAQ:
Q. What browsers do you support as JavaScript compilation targets?
We’re currently aiming to support the following browsers:
Internet Explorer, versions 9 and 10.
Firefox, latest version.
Chrome, latest version.
Safari for desktop, version 6.
Though "We're currently aiming to support" certainly doesn't inspire the same level of confidence that "We support" would.
It's not really an answer but to long for a comment:
Dartium is intended for development only.
JavaScript generated from Dart is currently the only supported scenario of Dart for production use.
Dart or more specific the generated JS helps a lot in abstracting browser differences away but there are also still a lot of open issues, some with known workarounds and some without.
I doubt there can or will be a perfect solution even in the future.
How good or bad someone finds the support of one of the browsers listed in #PixelElephant s answer is mostly based on opinion and/or what features someone wants to use.
If you have issues with some of these browsers, post an issue. Common features are likely to be fixed in the short therm others may take longer (also depending on complexity).
What about just making it compatible with the three major browsers, IE9+, Chrome and Firefox?
I want to make games using Canvas 2D.
As far as I know, it works just fine. Unfortunately, I can't test it out right now because I don't have a Windows machine. However, there are a lot of samples showing how to do this sort of thing. See:
http://dart-lang.github.com/pop-pop-win/
https://github.com/dart-lang/pop-pop-win

Canvas is supported by modern browsers: http://caniuse.com/#feat=canvas
I was trying some slider / drag-n-drop demos of JQuery Mobile, Kendo UI and other javascript frameworks, but none seem to work in the Metro version of IE10 on my tablet (running Windows 8 Consumer Preview).
I remember there was a similar issue on IOS, but using most frameworks it's now working on my iPad.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Is there any JS framework that has addressed this issue?
Could this be something that is still to be fixed by Microsoft before final release of Win8?
Cheers,

Internet Explorer 10 has a more abstact event model when it comes to touch, mouse, or pen events. Rather than having events like touchstart or mousedown, Internet Explorer 10 has an arguably superior model consisting of a much simpler MSPointerDown which is fired for all types of inputs, including fingers, mice, or pens.
Unfortunately, as you've noticed, there isn't a great deal of support in popular libraries and frameworks, though I suspect there are a few good reasons why this is the case:
IE10 is still technically incomplete.
IE10 is currently not available on Windows 7 (though it will be released on Windows 7 eventually)
IE10 currently requires the installation of unfinalized versions of Windows 8
These reasons, among more I'm sure, have likely caused the developers behind major frameworks and libraries to hold off on any serious investment of their time to target the new browser from Microsoft. That being said, I do know personally of some very key players from the jQuery project who have been keeping a close eye on Microsoft's new pointer model. I suspect the same can be said for other teams.
The reason is that IE10 introduces MSPointerEvents, which are probably not well supported by most frameworks, at least yet.
Update: Kendo UI supports MSPointerEvents since Q3 2012. As of Q1 2013 all framework widgets also work properly in IE10 when content is pinch-zoomed.
I have a Delphi VCL application which I'm using to show some pictures and I would like to know if there is any possibility to transform it into a browser plugin (like firefox, google chrome etc ) in order to load it remotely, like a java applet.
for all of them the answer is NO. even for IE it is sometimes difficult...VCL applications means win32/64 development in general, browsers are more 'related' to web development. you can reconsider and try to resolve this by using an already existing platform which can be easily integrated into web browsers like Shockwave (yeah, I don't like to give links to wikipedia...) or another similar tool.
You can use VirtualUI from CybeleSoft to run your Windows app in a browser. You still need to set up your backend server with database etc, and make sure that some operations are blocked - you don't want someone to browse through your server files ;-)
There are options:
ActiveX plugin (you might need to enable ActiveX support in browser or use a special plugin to enable it)
NPAPI plugin (will be deprecated in Chrome in late 2014). See question: How to embed Delphi VCL form into HTML page using NPAPI?
Take a look at the samples on Raudus. It might be what you are looking for. It will be interesting for you to read this about VCL compatible component set for the web.
Were looking at building a Chinese site (Traditional and Simplified) in Sitecore and was wondering where the possibilities for supporting the search.
From what I have been able to gather so far:
Lucene doesn't support it out of the box but can be extended through development or third party to allow Chinese search
dtSearch should support it but from what I've been able to find it is unreliable/untested.
Does anyone have any experience using Chinese language in Sitecore and performing searches?
Has anyone had any experience implementing Chinese into Lucene?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
Cove Enterprise Search supports Chinese and integrates well with Sitecore. You should double check their full language support list if you have other needs.

Supported languages on Page 4:

Sitecore 7 ContentSearch features could help you out of the troubles; the search functionality supports many different languages including Chinese, Arabic, and non-UTF based characters.
I have tried to search Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) in sitecore 7 backend search tab. If you have played sitecore 7, you may notice that every content item has a new search tab. You can try to create a content item with 2 different language versions (zh-TW, zh-CN: Traditional, Simplified), then search some Chinese keyword in the search tab, it works fine.
For different language analyzers configuration, please find the Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config in the App_Config/Include folder, there already defined many language analyzers for searching, you can also add the Chinese analyzer (Luncene.Net.Analysis.Cn.ChineseAnalyzer).
There is a "developer's_guide_to_item_buckets_and search_sc7" document on the sdn site(http://sdn.sitecore.net), it provides more details.
Hope these can help you.
