Is there a website or documentation that details the changes made from each version?

Say, D7 -> D2005 -> D2006 -> D2007 -> D2009

  • Language features?
  • DB features?
  • RTTI?
  • IDE?

  • If someone id going to vote to close, could you at least post a comment with the reason? This doesn't seem like an unreasonable question except it could possibly be a community wiki. – Bruce McGee Aug 30 '09 at 00:25

    Hi, my question could seem somewhat vague, but I would like to know about the new language features by jumping from D7 to D2009 (eg. things that needed dozens of code lines to achieve, but maybe only 1 proc/func in D2009?). I think most Delphi programmers would also be interested too, unless he/she was fortunate enough to use every single version I mentioned :P Besides, I don't think my post is worst than the "whats-your-favorite-programmer-cartoon", which is so far left non-closed :P – Atlas Aug 30 '09 at 05:34
  • Some people forget that there have been some significant changes. For example, I don't know how many people posted that the only real change in Delphi 2009 was Unicode. So answers to questions like this help serve as a reminder. – Bruce McGee Aug 30 '09 at 13:10
  • Yep, I agree. There are lot of minor changes from what I can see. Such an example are the procs/funcs in SysUtils, not much of a breakthru, but it can make our life easier by coding less and smarter :P – Atlas Aug 31 '09 at 04:17
  • I think changing the question makes it too broad. If you want to ask about bugs, you should create a new question. Possibly encourage posters to make a separate answer for different issues, include (or add) QC numbers, and above all, be constructive. – Bruce McGee Aug 31 '09 at 10:34

Yes, but not about all versions.

A lot of the changes since Delphi 7 are covered here, but the version where features/changes were introduced isn't always mentioned.

PS: I those articles don't list the new features in Delphi 2007, 2009 and 2010

(edn.embarcadero.com seems to be a bit slow today. Google cache might help)
