The page tiltle of https://www.embarcadero.com/products/rad-studio/whats-new-in-10-4-sydney is incorrect.
Maybe "What's New in RAD Studio 10.4.2 Sydney - Embarcadero" instead of  "What's New in RAD Studio 10.4.1 Sydney - Embarcadero".
Thanks.

The What's New lists improvements for developers using the IDE via 
Remote Desktop but doesn't give any specifics. I do a lot of my work 
via Remote Desktop, is there something I need to aware of or enable, 
or will the IDE just be a bit snappier over Remote Desktop?

Marco,

So glad that the features and speed of the Beta made it through to 
the final product. Absolutely brilliant. The hard work of the team 
at Embarcadero is showcased so well, plus a few extras as well.

Now we just need some  reference  of some sort on UI guidance 
and hints and tips. Andrea Magni's book is great, but how do you 
translate the master design to the various different formats of app 
sized interfaces for mobiles and tablets is still a confounding 
mystery.

That aside, god bless the Embarcadero team for an absolutely 
brilliant product!

 Hi Marco,
It seems that the help files are not the updated one unlike DocWiki. Is this untentional.

 App Tethering on iOS14 will not connect if mobile data is active on 
the iphone. Is it fixed in 10.4.2

General question: I'd like to have a tool that reads a Swagger spec 
from a REST portal and generates Delphi interface code and classes 
needed to interact with the API. As far as I know, none exist, 
including in 10.4.2. 

There are at least a half-dozen for C#/.NET and at least one for 
almost any other language I've looked for, but none for Delphi. This 
seems like a big missing, and I don't know why it's not available out 
of the box with Delphi. 

Do you know of any that exist? If not, are there any plans to create 
one and add it into a future Delphi release?

The fact that there's nothing available tells me that people who use 
REST APIs with Delphi generate the REST interfaces and the classes 
they need entirely by hand. Or am I missing something obvious?

 Each time I make a change in a program I get
[dcc32 Fatal Error] F2084 Internal Error: AV09853340(09830000)-R00000018-0
and have to close the IDE.
Any solution?
Thanks.

     ...and they still have not fixed the biggest bug introduced recently.  
The ability to have floating form designers.

Seriously, the ability to have code on a separate screen is 
BACKWARDS and useless.  You need the form on the other screen 
where the space is.  Surely this is obvious!

The biggest productivity killers are annoyances and f..ing SCROLL 
BARS!  For the universes sake please FIX THIS!

Congratulations! Finally Delphi IDE seems to have arrived at a 
state that makes working with Delphi real fun again. As a long 
term customer on enterprise maintenande I was very very 
disappointed with the last releases before. The promising LSP 
changes before 10.4.2 did not keep their promis and I often did 
not even try to use code completion to avoid frustration.

I am happy now and have the feeling that my productivity has 
increased quite a bit (what also may be related to the good 
weather currently).

After many hours I think I've found the reason. I build programs with runtime packages. If I disable that option the error doesn't happen. Something is screwed because if inside that option I click in ... to see available packages I don't see any runtime package in the list.
However if I try to compile without making any change at all it works???

 Is there a reason why sqlite3.dll was not updated to a 
later version and is still 3.31.1
