No. Adding compatility features is not synchronized with any Delphi 
version, the above are just approximations.

Full compatibility with D2009 and beyond is difficult because the 
defaults are not unicodestring. (work is done on an unicodertl for that)

Not that I know of.  Most of "new" language features in Delphi in recent 
years has been relatively shallow.
