Welcome to a series of tips and tricks for taking advantage of the new Windows 64-bit Modern toolchain in C++Builder / RAD Studio 12.2! This builds on a webinar we did sharing a bunch of useful information on why and how the new C++Builder matters to you, where this was the very end (so go watch the start!)
Tip #1: The Patch
After RAD Studio 12.2 was released, we released a patch for it, known as…
RAD Studio is the fastest, easiest, most powerful way to create cross-platform apps and it can do anything any other framework can do. To prove how good RAD Studio with Delphi is I recreated the user interface of an award-winning social media platform, in four hours from…
In the C++Builder and RAD Studio 12.2 launch webinar, we made a big deal of having fast parallel builds on by default:
This blog is to provide some practical info on the feature.
Using it
When you install 12.2, and use the Windows 64-bit Modern C++ platform, it is on by…
We’ve released the new Windows 64-bit Modern C++ toolchain over time: a preview in C++Builder 12.0 through to fully complete in 12.2 (dynamic package linking, CMake support, parallel building by default, etc.) In 12.2, it is a full replacement for the old Win64…
Back in October when we released C++Builder and RAD Studio 12.2, we introduced that we have fantastic CMake support.
We have both multiple demos and a lot of documentation on using CMake. This blog is to briefly point you to both.

The new CMake support, which is…
ACBR Day 2024: 2 days of events wrapped up in an incredible experience
What is ACBr?
Before we begin, we need to talk about ACBr for those who don’t know. The ACBr Project is an open source project of components and programs designed to develop applications for the…
RAD Studio 12.2, released on September 12, 2024, has changed the development game again. How? With features never before seen in the IDE, like embedded access to AI-assisted coding, and with performance enhancements like 64-bit compilers that enable you, the developer, to…
While the most relevant new features were in other product areas, there are a few enhancements in the Delphi Run Time Library (o RTL) that we thing is worth pointing out.
New TParallelArray Class
There is a new TParallelArray class in the System.Threading unit that enables…
We have a great productivity feature in Delphi and C++Builder 12.2: focus mode, also known as ‘zen mode’.
A few months ago when we released version 12.1, we added split editor views. This was the most radical change in the IDE since the fully docked design in the…
RAD Studio 12.2 brings several great improvements to C++. One of these is the completion of the new Windows 64-bit Modern toolchain with the addition of both using and creating dynamic packages (BPL files.)
Dynamic Package Consumption
When we released the new toolchain in…
