RAD Studio full changelog

64-bit IDE for the Windows 64 Target Platform:
First full featured 64-bit IDE for Windows 64 target platform with core RAD Studio IDE installation. Offers Delphi and C++ support for building and debugging 64-bit Windows applications, now including: code tooling for C++ via Visual Assist; support for COM, ActiveX and Type libraries; Live Templates (Ctrl+J) and the Surround menu, and quality improvements (Delphi and C++Builder).
New Ternary Operator and Other Delphi Language Extensions:
RAD Studio 13 introduces a new ternary operator, implemented using the “if” keyword, a new NameOf intrinsic function, new {$PUSHOPT} and {$POPOPT} compiler directives, implicit "Self" parameter declaration in record class operators Initialize and Finalize, new “is not” and “not in” language operators, a new “noreturn” directive for procedure declaration, and additional constraints for generic types (Delphi only).
C++Builder Windows Modern Toolchain:
Introduces Support for C++ 23:
C++Builder Modern Win64 compiler updated to Clang 20 introducing C++ 23 support (and defaulting to C++ 23). This is a significant further upgrade to C++ Modern toolchain from RAD Studio 12.x. RAD Studio 13 offers improved Address Sanitizer (ASAN) runtime, versioned shared libraries, and improved compatibility with legacy versions of C++Builder compiler (C++Builder only).
SmartCore AI Component Pack (AI inside Your Apps):
(Soon to be available in GetIt). RAD Studio 13 introduces new core AI components to add AI features to apps or build brand new AI-focused apps with Delphi or C++Builder. This is a building block and a foundation for the future: Can be extended to integrate with additional AI engines and UI controls. SmartCore AI Component Pack from GetIt will use specific drivers to communicate via REST with different AI engines (including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and Ollama). Users can also add additional drivers for AI providers to expand app capabilities (Delphi and C++Builder).
RAD

Smart CodeInsight: AI Powered Coding:
New open architecture for AI plugins, with support for OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and Ollama. With Smart CodeInsight, users decide if and how to use AI, and can even create additional plugins, as long as it offers a public REST API. (RAD Studio)
64-bit Version of Delphi Windows Compilers:
RAD Studio 12.2 includes the 64-bit binary version of Delphi Win32 and Win64 compilers for building very large applications as a single executable. Available in Enterprise and Architect editions. (Delphi)
Modernized, Faster Clang-Based C++ Compiler and Toolchain:
Update to the new Clang-based C++ compiler for Win64, including consumption and production of runtime packages, support for all RAD Studio component packages and parallelized CPU-saturating batch compilation for incredible compile performance (C++Builder)
Editor-Only Focus Mode and Scrollbar Annotations:
New Focus Mode leaves IDE with the editor(s) only. New scrollbar annotations show at a glance the sections of the code which have been modified, or have bookmarks, errors or warnings. Quality improvements to Split Views, Toolbar and HighDPI. (RAD Studio)

Dark and Light Themes: Whether you like to code at night or during the brightest times of days, RAD Studio's Light and Dark themes have you covered. Dark themes have been reported to reduce eye strain in low light environments, allowing you to work more productively at night. It's easy to toggle between dark and light themes via a toolbar menu.
Improved Installer: The improved installer UI and license manager UI help you identify the options you need and skip what you don't.

Improved Installation Experience:
We have improved the installation experience of RAD Studio to make it much more customizable
There is a new Installer now that quickly installs a very basic version of RAD Studio that you can use as a plain text editor
Afterwards, the new Feature Installer lets you select the RAD Studio features (programming languages, target platforms, and more) that you want to have in your initial RAD Studio installation Only the selected features are installed, which can save you bandwidth, time and disk space
