RAD Studio 11 is Coming: New Version Number Announcement and Beta Invite for Update Subscription Customers
We are pleased to announce that the next version of Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio will be version 11. This is currently in the works and we plan to release it later this year.
A few years back, Embarcadero decided to match the version number of the two primary desktop operating systems we target (Windows 10 and OS X, later renamed macOS 10) with a series of RAD Studio 10.x releases: 10 “Seattle”, 10.1 “Berlin”, 10.2 “Tokyo”, 10.3 “Rio”, and 10.4 “Sydney”.
In light of the recent changes in macOS versioning (currently at version 11) and Microsoft’s recent announcement of a coming Windows 11 version, we have decided to change our product numbering scheme accordingly. Windows, in particular, remains a key target for us, with the best library to build Windows client UI applications, our own VCL and we want to underline this strong connection.
Therefore, the next major release of RAD Studio, Delphi and C++ Builder, originally expected to be 10.5, is going to be version 11. We expect it to be followed by minor updates with version numbers like 11.x and a future new major release called 12.
