There is a very exciting improvement in Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio 11.0 Alexandria: the IDE now fully supports high DPI scaling on high-resolution screens. This means that if you use Windows and have a 4K or similar high-res display, the IDE will render crisply and clearly on your screen. In fact, if you have two screens with different scales, you can have different IDE windows on those…
Hello! Recently we ran a competition among anyone using C++Builder to enter the apps they’ve built which ‘do good’ – to solve a problem or help the world. We got some great entries addressing all sorts of problems, from environmental to working during the…
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…
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 other parts of Delphi 10.4.2. Let’s have a look at what’s new. First, the features…
Error Insight — now Error…
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…
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 – exactly what you need if you’re upgrading projects, or you want to pull in C++ source code from a library online.
One great…
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…
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 handler type (RSP-29734)When using a component compiled with the classic compiler in the IDE’s form designer, generating an…
