A Summary of Year 2025 for RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder

This blog post offers a quick summary of all of the new product versions and separate features released by Embarcadero in 2025. As you can see, this was another feature‑rich year for RAD Studio customers. We anticipate that 2026 will be just as fruitful, if not even more so.

February 2025

February this year marked Delphi’s 30th anniversary. Among others, you can check David I’s blog post or download our Innovation timeline PDF. We also produced a series of 30 webinars to celebrate 30 years of Delphi.
