Delphi 2007 for Win32 is out. You can get it quickly if you buy on-line. Physical boxes will be available shortly according to CodeGear. Delphi 2007 for Win32 is already available in english, french, german and japanese.
The latest ICS & MidWare are compatibles with Delphi 2007. Actually Delphi 2007 is a "non-breaking" release. It means you can use BDS2006 source code, projects, dcu and bpl ! Regarding ICS & MidWare, you simply open the BDS2006 packages, compile and install. Add VC32 directory to your library path. Then open the BDS2006 project group and recompile all sample applications. Regarding your own applications, if you use BDS2006, then you probably can just recompile everything. If you use third party components, they should be compatible, even if you don't have the source code, you can install BDS2006 bpl's into Delphi 2007. If you use older Delphi versions, you'll be able to recompile probably with no changes except if you have conditional compilation checking for version number. D2007 defines VER180 (same as BDS2006) and VER185 (only D2007.Win32 define it). Just search for VERxyz in the source code and change it. See IcsDefs.inc to find out the relation between VERxyz and Delphi versions. I strongly suggest you use IcsDefs into your own applications and use conditional compilation against DELPHIx_UP or COMPILEx_UP to trigger code generation. If you upgrade from pre-D7 version, and use variant data type, you'll have to add variants to your uses. I had the chance to work for CodeGear and as such I worked with Delphi 2007 for months. I can say that I'm very impressed by the product. CodeGear has done a huge work in making a fast an reliable product. There is insteresting enhancement in both the IDE, compiler, debugger and the VCL/RTL. I recommand upgrading to Delphi 2007 and also to buy "support and maintenance" to get the version updates (Currently Delphi 2007 is for win32 only. If you buy "support and maintenance", you'll receive the other personnalities later (.NET, C++ and C#)). Have fun ! -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
