Low code app development is increasingly popular today, and for good reason: it speaks to the demand for software paired with the difficulty of creating it. In many ways, Delphi led the low code revolution: RAD, where you build software by connecting components in a visual designer, is low code. The key with many low code solutions is extensibility: low code which cannot be extended to a…
RAD Studio 10.4.2 was planned as a feature-focused followup to the quality-focused release of 10.4.1. However, besides delivering some major features we also fixed more issues in 10.4.2 than in the previous release!
This applies as much to Code Insight, or DelphiLSP, as to…
The linker is a core part of the C++Builder toolchain – after all, it’s the part that collects the compiler’s output and creates your final binary, so it’s hard to understate its importance! – and because it brings the entire application together at once…
Quality Release
C++Builder 10.4.2 brings some great features we believe will really help you — the biggest being ‘split DWARF’, a way to reduce memory usage in the linker by removing debug information. If you have projects that push the linker’s limits, check it out: it may solve your problems (see this blog post.) However, RAD Studio 10.4.2 overall was also very much a ‘quality…
C++ has a wide ecosystem. One of our key goals with C++Builder is to ensure you can take advantage of the libraries other C++ developers write. With each release we’ve been working on the RTL and STL to ensure it is of a high quality and has great compatibility –…
TwineCompile is an addon for C++Builder that is currently in GetIt for free to update subscription customers, for all editions, including Pro. Let’s see how well it works with real-world projects.
TwineCompile speeds up C++Builder compile time significantly. To test…
Advanced code editor markup, call stack UI, and multithreaded debugging tools — in a new plugin for RAD Studio now freely available.
We’re very pleased to announce a new IDE extension available today for RAD Studio 10.4.1, created by the same author as the popular Bookmarks and Navigator plugins, Parnassus. If you’re reading this, it’s already available in GetIt for anyone with Update…
We’ve just released a patch for C++Builder 10.4.1 which affects using components written in C++ in the form designer. This patch addresses the following issue:
Event handlers were not always generated in the IDE with a compatible method signature to the event…
RAD Studio 10.4.1 is a quality-focused release, and this goes for the IDE! We’ve addressed many items including some very commonly requested changes; read more below.
A ‘quality-focused release’ means one where we introduce very few new features, and focus 95% of…
RAD Studio has a great ecosystem of third party vendors, providing both components and IDE plugins, software that lives within the IDE itself. In RAD Studio 10.4.1, we made some changes to our docked windows support (a docked window is a pane like the Structure, Projects or Palette views.) This change can create issues with IDE plugins that use their own custom docked windows.
One example…
