Description
Embarcadero (CodeGear) RAD Studio 2010 is the industrys most powerful rapid application development suite for visual building GUI-intensive, data-driven and end-user applications for both native Windows and .NET. RAD Studio consists of Delphi, C++Builder and Delphi Prism, which enable developers to deliver applications up to 5x faster across multiple Windows and database platforms.
Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010 Architect is designed for application developers and teams building data-intensive client/server GUI and Web applications with enterprising database systems. RAD Studio Architect includes data-driven rapid application development for native Windows and .NET with rich visual data modeling to help developers understand, design, and get the most value out of enterprise databases and data structures. RAD Studio Architect combines the Enterprise edition and powerful database modeling and design capabilities:
* Reverse-engineer, analyze, and optimize databases;
* Generate database code automatically from models for forward engineering;
* Create logical and physical models rooted in information extracted from databases and script files;
* Work with highly readable and navigable diagrams;
* Compare and merge with bidirectional comparisons and merges of model and database structures.
Helpful additions include search across project files, more granular thread debugging (freeze, thaw, isolate and set thread breakpoints), SOAP 1.2 (and REST and JSON via the DataSnap component) support, upgraded ANSI/ISO Boost-supported C++ compiler, a Class Explorer for C++ Builder (finally!), secure C library functions and, remarkably, the ability to import Delphi 1.0 and higher projects into Delphi 2010. I tried this with a fairly complex Delphi application I wrote in 1997 and sure enough, it just worked. Impressive! Minor improvements also abound in the release, from an updated Action property editor to Date properties displaying a Calendar control -- more than 100 new and enhanced features in all.
IDE Features
Source Control Management
* Weaver will provide an Open Tools interface for supporting Source Control Management via the IDE and the Project Manager.
* We'll provide an implementation of that interface to support Subversion We'll ship and install Subversion for those customers that want it in order to provide a complete, out of the box solution
Debugger
* Numerous debugger user interface improvements
* An OTAPI framework for enabling debugger visualizers so that specific data types can be viewed in the debugger in their "actual" format
* Provide a number of implementations that enable viewing basic types Example: TStringList, Bitmaps, JPEGs, etc.
Usability
These features will include:
* A user-defined number of most-recently-uses (MRU) items in the IDE
* Custom color settings in the Code Editor
* Better handling of saving multiple changed files (i.e. adding "Yes to All" and "No to All" buttons to save dialogs in the Project Manager
* Indenting selected code chunks with the Tab key
* Improvements to the event log including easier navigation, copying, and display of long items
* Usability improvements to Class Completion
* Usability improvements to Code Completion
* Usability improvements to the code searching feature
* Additional Live Templates
* Big improvements to the XML Databinding wizard
* Usability improvements to the Tool Palette
* Usability enhancements to the Project Manager
* Automatic migration of settings from previous versions upon first run of the product
Database Features
Connectivity
* Support for a dbExpress driver for Firebird
* Update all dbExpress drivers to support the latest version of their respective RDBMSs
* Inclusion of the source for MIDAS.DLL
DataSnap Updates
The following features are planned for future versions of DataSnap:
* Support for encryption/compression
* Implement callbacks, asynchronous method execution
* Security and authentication
* Monitoring and session management
* Add transport protocols (http, https)
* Exposing Custom Methods written in C++ in DataSnap Servers
SOAP
* Support for Web Service clients that support SOAP 1.2.
VCL/RTL/Compiler/Language
* Mouse and Touch Gesturing engine for VCL controls
* Support for Windows 7 APIs
* Basic support for Direct2D (e.g., TDirect2dCanvas and TDirect2DPaintbox, etc).
* Multiple "small" changes to VCL to make it more powerful
Delphi Compiler
*Enhanced RTTI support.
C++ Compiler
* Generation of XML Documentation from Source
* Method RTTI for public and published methods of TObject-derived classes (to enable * *C++ Custom Methods in DataSnap Servers)
* C++ Class Browser.
* Misc. Fixes, especially in the area of Object Lifetime management & Exception H.
