Features and Technologies delivered in 2013

- Annual delivery of functional features and technologies

During, the primary goal of the RAD Studio team is to deliver native ARM compilers and libraries targeting the IOS a nd Android mobile platforms, which we achieved in the XE4 and XE5 versions. Specifically, we have released Delphi for both iOS (XE4) and Android (XE5) and C++builder for iOS (XE5 Update 2). Mobile support includes the FMX platform, the familiar RTL, database access Components (now including FireDAC), and On-dev Ice databases. In addition, developers using Delphi and C++builder can target Mac OS X with the FMX platform and Windows (both Win32 and Win64) with either the FMX platform or the VCL library.

In 2013, the main goal of the company's RAD Studio team was to provide native arm compilers and libraries for iOS and Android mobile platforms, which we implemented in the XE4 and XE5 versions. Specifically, we have released the Delphi iOS (XE4) and Android (XE5) and C + + Builder iOS (XE5 Update 2). Mobile support is included in the FMX platform, familiar RTL, database access components (now including FIREDAC), and databases on mobile devices. In addition, developers of Delphi and C + + Builder can use the FMX platform for Mac OS x development, and can be developed for Windows (WIN32 and Win64), either with the FMX platform or the VCL library.

Here are a summary of the key features added to RAD Studio in 2013:
