RAD Studio 11 Alexandria has arrived
Blog|by Leanne Bevan|10 September 2021

The wait is finally over. The new and improved RAD Studio 11, Delphi 11 and C++Builder 11 are now available.
With ease, develop modern cross-platform applications from a single codebase that customers will love.
- High DPI IDE with HighDPI VCL and FireMonkey designers, a style-enabled VCL designer, and an improved FireMonkey designer with guidelines.
- A completely redesigned and customisable Welcome page, offering easy customisation of the data shown for customers, improved management of features like recently opened files, viewing newly added items from the GetIt package manager, and more, now built on a framework allowing future custom content by customers and partners.
- Expanded Delphi platform support. Delphi now supports building native macOS applications for Apple Silicon M1 devices (ARM 64-bit), highlighting Delphi’s continued commitment to multi-platform support. Delphi Android support was also enhanced.
- VCL modernisation improvements to better support the Windows 10 native platform and the coming Windows 11. This helps customers improve their application UI and add new features often just by recompiling their existing application.
- A new implementation of C++Builder’s code formatter to help improve the C++ code readability and consistency.
- And much more, including over 750 quality improvements for publicly reported issues and customer feature requests.
