Hi,
I was reading the latest documentation (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/
user/userse35.html) and noticed the following:
> The Delphi mode of the compiler tries to mimic Delphi as
> closely as possible.
and
> Delphi compatibility is relatively complete up to Delphi 7.
> New constructs in higher versions of Delphi (notably, the
> versions that work with .NET) are not supported.
Delphi 7 and Delphi.NET are extremely old by 2026 standards. Is there
currently a definitive Delphi version that FPC aims to be compatible with?
Additionally, is there a formal roadmap or list of modern language features
that the team is currently cloning or aiming to implement in -Mdelphi mode?
Regards,
Graeme
