If ICS works in D2010, why can't the same source be recompiled in Delphi XE without change? Why must component vendors insist on forcing source code changes (even if just the .inc file) for every version, when there is very likely nothing in the new version of Delphi that will break the components?
There may be new things that the components can take advantage of, and the component writer may write the support for those new features based on the new VER define. But, most of the time, the existing code will compile just fine simply by assuming the new Delphi works the same as the last version. Whether I wait on the component vendor to update the source, or I update it myself, that's still wasted time. When maintaining 20 different component libraries (yes, that is too many, but necessary), it takes way too long to migrate the whole set to the new version of Delphi.
