The new features improve the experience and productivity of developers working with millions of lines of code.

Austin, TEXAS - May 26, 2020 - The Для просмотра ссылки Войди или Зарегистрируйся (a division of Idera, Inc.), a provider of productivity tools for developing cross - platform applications, today announced the release of RAD Studio 10.4, with major upgrades to the chain rapid application development tools for RAD Studio, Delphi and C ++ Builder.

Version 10.4 provides improvements for developers on computers with Windows 10 VCL (Visual Component Library), development on multiple devices in Delphi and for developer productivity that optimizes application performance while reducing developers' time spent developing and maintaining code.

In total, RAD Studio 10.4 features more than 1,000 improvements in quality and performance. Embarcadero's senior product manager, Marco Cantu, called the launch “the most significant update ever made to RAD Studio in years”.

An important feature of the release includes the introduction of LSP (Language Server Protocol) technology for Delphi to standardize communication between processes between the RAD Studio Code Editor and the Delphi language server.

This helps developers in Delphi to speed up code completion, improve accuracy in error perception and reduce the memory needed to analyze large projects with millions of lines of code.

RAD Studio 10.4 also adds new support for custom managed records for Delphi record types. The Delphi language allows for more complex record types and class-like features that can include properties and methods (including constructors), class properties, class methods, class fields and nested types. Custom-managed records allow developers to customize how records are created, copied and destroyed, by writing the code to be executed in each of these steps.

In addition, Delphi memory management is now unified across mobile, desktop and server platforms using the classic implementation of object memory management. Compared to automatic reference counting (ARC), it offers better compatibility with existing code and simpler coding for components, libraries and end user applications.

"With the resurgence in Delphi's popularity, we continue to introduce new features for the language that allow developers to create connected applications across platforms with significantly less coding effort," said Cantu. "Improving Delphi's productivity and scalability remains a top priority for the product."

RAD Studio also includes updates to its award-winning VCL for Windows 10 with new high DPI support for custom applications. Now, developers can use multiple styles of VCL in different forms in a single application or in different visual controls on the same form.

This includes support by style using any element with the platform's default theme and allows developers to use third-party non-custom controls in a custom VCL application. Additional features include integration with Microsoft's Edge browser, based on Chromium, and expanded C ++ compilers and debuggers for Windows 10.

Version 10.4 continues to support the development of multiple devices with FireMonkey enhancements, including the implementation of Metal 2 GPU driver support for macOS and iOS, Apple API updates, Windows API updates, enhanced FMXLinux integration for editions Enterprise and Architect and more.

RAD Studio includes a new unified installer for online and offline installations using Embarcadero's GetIt package manager. Allowing users to select an initial set of RAD Studio features to install, add or remove at any time via an Internet connection or ISO image.

"We are committed to making RAD Studio the most productive and high-performing native application development tool. 10.4 reinforces our technological leadership in native development for Windows desktops," said Atanas Popov, general manager of Embarcadero. “There are thousands of applications in Delphi waiting to be updated and we want to present our customers with a clear and convincing path.”
