NET for the first time. The choice for. However, this proved to be unsuccessful, as a result of which the popularity of Delphi declined slightly. The following versions Delphi , and Delphi went back to basics and brought further improvements in the areas of memory management and IDE performance.
The biggest addition in Delphi was the full Unicode support. It was also possible to use generics and anonymous methods. The support for the development of. Delphi introduced the RTTI, and had further improvements in the field of touch screen and gestures. Delphi Delphi 10 Seattle Subsequently, a new version of Delphi has been released almost every year, namely Delphi is a high-level, compiled, strongly typed language that supports structured and object-oriented design.
Delphi language is based on Object Pascal. Today, Delphi is much more than simply "Object Pascal language". The roots: Pascal and its history The origin of Pascal owes much of its design to Algol - the first high-level language with a readable, structured, and systematically defined syntax. In the late sixties X , several proposals for an evolutionary successor to Algol were developed.
The most successful one was Pascal, defined by Prof. Niklaus Wirth. Wirth published the original definition of Pascal in It was implemented in with some modifications.
Many of the features of Pascal came from earlier languages. The case statement , and value-result parameter passing came from Algol, and the records structures were similar to Cobol and PL 1. Besides cleaning up or leaving out some of Algol's more obscure features, Pascal added the capability to define new data types out of simpler existing ones. Pascal also supported dynamic data structures; i. The language was designed to be a teaching tool for students of programming classes.
Wirth stopped its work on Pascal in to create a new language, Modula - the successor to Pascal. To create Turbo Pascal 1. Turbo Pascal introduced an Integrated Development Environment IDE where you could edit the code, run the compiler, see the errors, and jump back to the lines containing those errors. Turbo Pascal compiler has been one of the best-selling series of compilers of all time, and made the language particularly popular on the PC platform. In Borland revived its version of Pascal when it introduced the rapid application development environment named Delphi - turning Pascal into a visual programming language.
The strategic decision was to make database tools and connectivity a central part of the new Pascal product. The roots: Delphi After the release of Turbo Pascal 1, Anders joined the company as an employee and was the architect for all versions of the Turbo Pascal compiler and the first three versions of Delphi. As a chief architect at Borland, Hejlsberg secretly turned Turbo Pascal into an object-oriented application development language, complete with a truly visual environment and superb database-access features: Delphi.
What follows on the next two pages, is a concise description of Delphi versions and its history, along with a brief list of features and notes. Now, that we know what Delphi is and where are its roots, it's time to take a trip into the past It is one of the most successful IDEs created by Borland because of its stability, speed and low hardware requirements, and remained in active use as of It was the last version of Delphi which could be used without mandatory software activation.
Delphi 7 introduced full support for XP themes, probably the most significant enhancement over Delphi 6.
Delphi 7 was preceded by Delphi 6 and succeeded by Delphi 8 Codename: Octane. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow. Take our short survey. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
Just for complement the answer of Johan check this entry on my blog List of changes between versions of Delphi Since Delphi 5 and the excellent page The TIndex which list most of the new features since delphi and resources about each one. The jedi. If your project is MPL-compatible, you could even use it for feature detection and save yourself the trouble of reinventing that particular wheel. One could wrap your enumerator code in an IFDEF checking for that define rather than checking for a particular compiler version.

Q: Are you trying to create one code set perhaps a component or library that supports all platforms between BDS and XE2 i. Q: If so, why not just try compiling on and see what breaks? Theoretically D would work fine, but I'm not going to support it actively no offense.
