Yesterday we released RAD Studio 10.2.3, and we have a number of new C++Builder features. I wrote earlier about rename refactoring for C++, but today I also want to mention one small but useful one for our power users: a new compiler driver called bcc32x.
It’s a minoraddition, but useful.
Our compilers
In 10.2.3, we ship a number of compilers.
First, our classic compilers: the C++…
Yesterday, we released RAD Studio 10.2.3! Over the next week, we’ll be blogging about some of the new features. Today I’d like to look at the introduction of rename refactoring for C++.
Whatis refactoring?

C++Builder supports Boost, a common and useful C++ library. Through the GetIt package manager, you can install a build of v1.55 for our Clang compilers, or if you are using the classic compiler, an older version of Boost, v1.39.

In RAD Studio 10.2.2, we updated the Welcome page with new functionality: upcoming events, a Youtube feed from our channel, and sample applications. We also elevated documentation to its own tab inside the IDE. Unfortunately, for English versions of the IDE only, the Documentation page in the tab had a display error causing it to be only about 100 pixels wide.
We have a hotfix for this…
In RAD Studio 10.2.2, we have a number of UI upgrades (the new dark theme and welcome page and startup). But we have one more which I’m very pleased with and would like to share with you today: we’ve redone the component icons.

In RAD Studio 10.2.2, we’ve made a number of great quality improvements for the C++ toolchain and for the debugger for both C++ and Delphi.

There are some nice new features in RAD Studio 10.2.2 for IDE startup and first use.
Startup
When Delphi and C++Builder start, you see a splash screen – a loading screen – as the IDE starts. This lists all the packages, plugins, and component libraries it has installed.
One common request has been to add a progress bar here, and in 10.2.2 we’ve done so.

In RAD Studio 10.2.2, we havemade some changes to the installer that should make installation a much nicer experience.

In Delphi and C++Builder 10.2.2, we’ve added acommonly requested and exciting new feature: a dark IDE theme.

Is the dark theme toggle not visible for you? Here's how to fix it
December 13, 2017
In RAD Studio 10.2.2, we introduced a new dark IDE theme.I’ll write more about this in detaillater this week.
We’ve seen initial bug reports affecting users upgrading from an existing 10.2.x installation that the toolbar button allowing you to toggle between the light and dark themes isn’t visible. There are two workarounds:
Change theme through the…
