Thank you for your continued support of Delphi. Regarding the language and types moving forward, we definitely want to continue modernizing the Delphi language and runtime. At the same time, we fully understand and take care in making decisions knowing that some will have impacts on millions (billions?) of lines of Delphi code. There are times, especially with platform support, when we need to make specific changes. Unicode strings was the most impactful change in recent history for sure (but we needed to do it and 2009 was that moment in time we had to get it done). Adding Unit Name Scoping was another lesser impact but has really helped everyone work with framework agnostic RTL units (devices, sensors, etc) as well as allowing VCL and FMX to keep moving forward. In looking at the years of Delphi code, the architectures we are supporting, the different platforms, we also know learn that we need to refactor parts of the code to continue to move forward. Sometimes this means splitting apart units. Other times it means creating new units or moving functions to their proper place. I want to assure everyone that any change that has an impact is totally talked through, researched, reviewed, revisited, debated and more before the final decisions are made. One of the healthy and helpful things about developers is - they will give us feedback 24x7, all along the way and in every way possible. Keep it up! We are all in this together.

Bouchez Thu, 30 May 2013 10:32:15 +0000 http://blogs.embarcadero.com/davidi/?p=42716#comment-73871 All our Synopse Open Source libraries are also perfectly compatible with Delphi XE4, for both Win32 and Win64 platforms. Main problem was the switch of some ANSI routines from SysUtils to System.AnsiStrings - this was indeed a breaking change. Everything else was perfectly compatible, when compared to XE3. Nice work! Mainly used components are the mORMot framework (high performance RESTful SOA/ORM set of classes), and the SynPDF library. http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7631#p7631 All our Synopse Open Source libraries are also perfectly compatible with Delphi XE4, for both Win32 and Win64 platforms.

You can get the newest stable version aof synedit from this address : https://synedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synedit/SynEdit. You need the program TortoiseSVN to download synedit from this address. On the link for synedit is a very old download from 2007.
