We’re excited to announce that RAD Studio 13 Florence, along with Delphi 13 and C++Builder 13, is now available. This release brings a collection of long-awaited improvements, new tools, and significant quality updates across the board.
What’s New & Improved
64-bit IDE for Windows
RAD Studio 13 adds a full-featured 64-bit IDE for Windows, making it easier to build and debug 64-bit applications with all the tools in place.
Updated C++Builder Toolchain with C++23 Support
The new Windows modern toolchain uses Clang 20, offering full support for C++23 and bringing improvements like address sanitizer (ASAN), versioned shared libraries, and better backward compatibility.
Delphi Language Enhancements
Delphi gets several new language features, including a ternary operator (one of the most requested improvements), a NameOf intrinsic, new compiler directives, and refined support in record/class operator initialization and finalization.
AI-Driven Features & Components
With the SmartCore AI Component Pack, you can now embed AI features directly into your apps—text, image, or structured data prompts, integration with AI engines (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Ollama etc.), and user-friendly UI binding. There’s also the RAD AI Companion to help you query product-specific info or generate sample code.
Web & Server Enhancements
Improvements to WebBroker, WebStencils, RAD Server, and web template support make it more powerful to build web apps with sessions, authentication, authorization, and better server integrations (Apache, Nginx).
Library & Platform Updates
Updates across VCL, FireMonkey, FireDAC, and more. Expect new UI controls, better animations, GPU acceleration where relevant, improved support for various platforms (Windows APIs, Android, iOS etc.), and platform-integration refinements.
Quality & Fixes
Over 500 improvements in performance and stability, plus fixes of many customer-reported bugs. The emphasis here is not just on new features but making everything smoother, more reliable, and more polished.
Why This Matters
For developers using Delphi or C++Builder, RAD Studio 13 Florence offers:
- More productivity, thanks to more expressive language features and streamlined workflows.
- The ability to build modern, high-performance native applications with up-to-date compilers and full OS integration.
