Remarkably few people note the actual version number of the Delphi releases, though that is the version mentioned in any QC reports.
Now that Delphi Insider: Download links for Delphi XE7, C++Builder XE7 and RAD Studio XE7 are there, the ftpd and altd have been seeded a few days ago with the version time stamped at the end of last month, here is the version number:
QC version number for Delphi XE7: 21.0.17017.3725 (Update 1 has version 21.0.17707.5020).
I got that number from the first XE7 report in QC posted almost 2 months ago (and verified it against other reports), so it seems XE7 has undergone some serious testing.
Before installing, note that in addition to the below documentation links:
Be sure to have at least 60 gigabytes of free disk space before you attempt to install.
This in addition to the 5 gigabyte ISO file (:

Spring4D
On the Spring4D side (yes, it has a new logo!), Stefan has added XE7 support, so a new release of that is near.

Thanks Asbjørn Heid for sharing this:
I made this! –
So this week I’ve been mostly trying to add some GMail integration to our app. Google now requires OAuth2 authentication when using IMAP, unless you turn off some scary-sounding security setting on your account.
While Indy‘s IMAP component supports SASL authentication, there was no XOAuth2 SASL component out of the box. Thanks to the new REST stuff in Delphi, the OAuth2 basics where there so just had to tie them together.
In case others might find it fruitful, I’ve shared my results here: https://github.com/lordcrc/IndySASLOAuth2

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:
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: Read the rest of this entry »

Debugging today, I found another gotcha.
In this case, both Self and DisconnectedClient has a property named ClientIdentifier.
Note the difference for the mouse-over and the evaluation.

Edit 20140822 since originally posting, JEDI moved to a GIT repository, so I changed some URLs and added that it is up to date until Delphi XE7.
Finding the correct VERxxx conditional define for a particular Delphi version is asked by a lot of people.
Even the first link in the above search, does not contain the full list!
But: JCL comes to the rescue
The JCL file JEDI.INC usually (read: like 99.999% of the time) is up to that with that information soon.
Currently, it contains all the defines starting with Delphi 1, up to Delphi 2010 XE7.
You can always browse the to JEDI.INC with this link to the sourceforge trunk. link to the GitHub master version.
In fact that file contains a lot more useful defines.
Actually, having the JCL and/or JVCL at hand is a very good practice: it is filled with high quality code that solves a lot of everyday problems.
Note:
VER190 (by some people attributed to the wrong Delphi version) is only used by Delphi 2007 for .NET (Delphi 2007 for Win32 used VER185 by itself and shares VER180 with Delphi 2006 for Win32).
The number 13 (in between Delphi 2009 aka Delphi 12, and Delphi 2010 aka Delphi 14) was never used as a Delphi version number
Since Delphi is mainly developed in the USA, and since a lot people there have Triskaidekaphobia, they showed mercy to those and skipped Delphi 13.
