JEDI.INC got updated a few months ago: Delphi XE7 seems to be ahead…
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/22
While updating a project to a more recent version of Delphi, I also updated the JEDI.INC reference.
Note that since writing Delphi – finding the VERxxx define for a particular Delphi version: use JEDI.INC, the Delphi JEDI project moved from SoureForge to GitHub.
The fun thing: JEDI.INC got updated a few months ago to support Delphi XE7 provisionally.
Given the Delphi release cycle of twice a year, the Delphi Carpathia aka XE7 rumours this summer, I presume Delphi XE7 is near because of:
- The Source Forge RadStudioDemos trunk activitiy (based on my previous SF activity post).
- The root URL of the Delphi XE7 docwiki to become active.
- The mentioning of Delphi XE7 launch events at this Google Plus thread.
By then the list of Delphi Versionen | Delphi-Treff will likely also be updaed.
I’m anxious to see if the (Dutch + English) BIG Delphi Conference organized by Barnsten and Blaise from September 11-12 in the Netherlands will be part of the launch tour.
Anyway: here is the JEDI.INC portion with defines:
{$IFDEF VER280} // RAD Studio XE7
{$DEFINE BDS}
{$DEFINE BDS15}
{$DEFINE COMPILER21}
{$IFDEF BCB}
{$DEFINE BCB21}
{$ELSE}
{$DEFINE DELPHI21}
{$DEFINE DELPHIXE7} // synonym to DELPHI21
{$DEFINE DELPHICOMPILER21}
{$ENDIF BCB}
{$DEFINE RTL280_UP}
{$UNDEF UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSION}
{$ENDIF VER280}
–jeroen

When I installed JVCL a few days ago and it compiled the installer, the message said something like “Using Delphi XE7 to compile”. I don’t have XE7, just XE6…

Thanks. Just checked the SPAM box and it ended up there. They must be sending too much email (:
