BDS 2006.
For users of older versions you released *source code files* and told
them to rebuild the runtime libraries themselves. And, as you know, a
least a few users had problems doing that.
You should have rebuilt the libraries for each version and released the
revised libraries. You would have spent the time and effort once, and
saved every one of those users some time and trouble. You don't need to
go to the trouble of creating hotfix installers for every version
(though that might be nice), simply generating the required files and
zipping them with clear instructions on where to place the new source
and library files would be a great improvement. It would have been a
little extra effort that went a long way for those users who had
problems. And, it would have been recognized by others, like me, who
weren't directly affected by the omission but see the hypocrisy in your
(CodeGear collectively) claims about how well you are supporting users
of older versions.

what the version info in comp32x.dll says. So if CodeGear hasn't simply
increased the version number of the C++ compiler then it jumps from
5.82 to 5.9.
The question that comes to my mind is what will be the version after
5.9. Version 6.0 can't be used because that was the bccx compiler which
was available as a technology preview for C++BuilderX. Maybe 18.5 to
get in sync with the dcc32 compiler?

either. What you did was release a fix for a library that hasn't changed in
ages. The fact that it works for BCB3 (and probably most, if not all,
Turbo/Borland C/C++ products ever produced) is purely coincidental, and not
intentional by any stretch of the imagination. I think it is a
misrepresentation to say otherwise, because if the library had been
different for each Borland C/C++ product, it almost certainly would not have
fixed any of the older products.

Perhaps the Delphi compiler is really just a language front end, and all
that Delphi code is translated into C++ and then compiled into native
code using the C++ compiler (Like the original Cfront compiler). Maybe
that's how they are going to implement generics in Delphi. :-)
