Now that the there are RadStudio XE3 demos available at SourceForge.net Repository – [radstudiodemos] Index of /branches/RadStudio_XE3, and a post on a Delphi Event in New Zeeland rumours of an eminent Delphi/RAD Studio XE3 version start to raise.
It is fun to watch the activity stats on the SourceForge project RAD Studio Demo Code and correlate them to the Delphi release and update dates.
I made PNG images of two graphs. Click on them to enlarge, or click on the links to get to the statistics pages.
Note that when the span is wide enough, activity gets summed to the start of the month (first picture).
Project statistics graphs

Correlation
The real fun is the correlation with the Delphi Release Dates – Delphi Programming and the Delphi update dates from the Delphi Registered User Downloads.:
| Year-Month | Date | Delphi/ RAD Studio version |
