Along with Castalia, CodeHealer, Beyond Compare Differ, and BuilderBooster (see this blog entry), CodeGear has now released two more free add-ins for Delphi 2006 registered users, available in the Delphi registered users download page:
- QuickReport 4 Standard by QuSoft
- TeeChart Standard CodeGear Edition 7.09 by Steema Software
Both tools have been part of Delphi for many editions. Having them available makes it easier to migrate existing application to a newer version of Delphi. For example, many developers migrating Delphi 5 and 6 applications that used QuickReport to Delphi 2006 found they could not simply recompile their program but had to buy a license for the component. Now, of course, this is true every time you use a third party component. But the components you find in the box... well, you might expect to keep finding in the box.
