There were no major changes to the language, but number of classes and utility functions in the VCL have grown a lot. The compiler and language are completely compatible with Kylix.
#DELPHI 7 VERSION RELEASE DATES DOWNLOAD#
Kylix version 1 for x86 linux was released early in 2001, and an open edition of Kylix, licenced for creating GPL'd applications, was made available for download in late July 2001.ĭelphi 6 was released in 2001, and introduced many web and XML tools, as well as Kylix-compatible QT widgets. It introduced frames and method overloading. It introduced many COM features and Dynamic arrays, and assertsĭelphi 4 was released 1998 but was quite buggy as it was released before it’s time, and many programmers stayed with Delphi 3 until…ĭelphi 5 was another good release. It introduced much better COM support including multiple inheritance for interfaces, Variants, database independent TDataset (TClientDatase), and components in packages.ĭelphi 4 Was the first release without Anders Hejlsberg at the helm (though apparently he did not play a large role in D3 either). COM in D2 was “painful but possible”ĭelphi 3 was regarded as one of the best releases of Delphi ever. Of course, most of this was not Delphi's fault.ĭelphi 1 came out in Valentines’ day,, or others say “release to retail in March 1995”ĭelphi 2 was 32bit and thus made executables for Win32, not Win16.

The limitations were strings only up to 255 characters long, no data or code segment larger than 64Kb and no real multitasking, and no multithreading at all.

It was really very good as 16-bit Windows programming tools went, but there is still all the attendant pain of programming Win16 without good multitasking or memory protection. “D1 was phenomenal, a classic example of a truly superb first release” I can testify that after the byzantine complexities of MFC 1.0 and the dull inantiy of VB 3 it was a breath of fresh air. 8th, 1994, Orlando, FL, BDC, I can recall jealousy in C sessions and joy in the Pascal sessions.”ĭelphi 1 targeted 16-bit windows. Previews of Delphi were seen in 1994: “From the peek at the "VB Killer", Delphi-1, at the June 4th. it was the last version of Turbo pascal to be named as such. His next project was the C# language, which borrows mostly from Java, but uses several Delphi-style ideas such as explicit property definitions and similar-looking exception handling.īorland Pascal v7.0 (for DOS, 16-bit Windows and Protected Mode) was released in 1992. After that, he was head-hunted by Microsoft, where his first assignment was a set of classes for Java called the WFC ( windows foundation classes), which bear an remarkable resemblance to Delphi’s VCL. The Chief architect of the first 3 versions of Delphi was Anders Hejlsberg, who was also the main author of previous versions of Borland Turbo Pascal. Not in killing VB, but in superseding it. The code name was VBK – Visual Basic killer. ( Windows for Workgroups 3.11 being the dominant strain) were Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft C++, which had recently become Microsoft Visual C++, with Powerbuilder and other C++ compilers bringing up the rear.ĭelphi aimed between the two MS systems – and tried to couple the ease of use of Visual basic’s RAD environment with the power of a real compiled Object Oriented language.

At the time the main development environments for Microsoft Windows Borland Delphi Version 1.0 was introduced on Valentine's Day 1995.
