New Delphi Community Edition 10.4 Available

Embarcadero has made available the Community Edition license for the most recent 10.4 release of Delphi and C++Builder. This is a free edition for students, hobbyist and startups.

As announced yesterday with the blog post Delphi & C++Builder FREE Community Editions Updated to Version 10.4.2 Are Now Available, Embarcadero has moved the free CE license of its two IDEs, Delphi and C++Builder, to the last version of the product, 10.4 Sydney. The Community Edition is a free edition for non-professional developers (read the FAQ or the EULA for more information) and anyone who wants to start using one of the 2 products to learn them.

Being a complete product aligned to the Professional Edition of Delphi or C++Builder, it allows building applications for desktop (Windows and also macOS for Delphi) and mobile (Android and iOS). The CE edition includes both the VCL and the FMX UI libraries, but also the core RTL and database libraries, web technologies and more.

If you are interested, you can download 10.4 CE and also sign up for the "summer camp" to learn more about the technology of these CE editions and other Embarcadero tools:

I've very happy we are making the 10.4 version of Delphi and C++Builder available as a free Community Edition tools, as I'm certain a lot of people will leverage the opportunity to learn about our technology, both in terms of programming languages and libraries. If you are new to it, Delphi is a lot of fun to learn and a very powerful natively compiled language, worth having a deep look.

New Delphi Community Edition 10.4 Available

 There will be the possibility to renew again the comunity edition 
license vers. 10.3?
In the new version (10.4), several features present in version 10.3 are 
missing (for example Konopka, fast report etc ...)
By removing these add-ons, many applications written in compliance 
with the license terms will no longer be able to be updated.

New Delphi Community Edition 10.4 Available

 By design Delphi CE is available only in a recent version and you 
need to update and refresh your license to keep using it. It is not a 
replacement for a paid product, which offers a perpetual license and 
access to older versions.

Also some of the addon components that were available in CE only 
because of a platform limitation, are not available now and won't be 
there in the future.

New Delphi Community Edition 10.4 Available

 I have installed the 10.4 version, what a great product. I could 
seamlessly update my project that is coming with me since Delphi 7. 
Only problem I have is that I can only compile for 32-bit 
applications. Isn't 6-bit available in Delphi 10.4?

New Delphi Community Edition 10.4 Available

I am very grateful for the community edition being freely available to those on the journey to become a professional programmer, such as myself.  Unfortunately the 10.4 version requires Windows 10, and licenses for the 10.3 version are not being renewed, so to follow my path I must part ways with Embarcadero.

Fortunately the older version Visual Studio Community will allow me to continue using it.  Microsoft have done a reasonable job of copying features from Delphi into C#, although the resulting executable tends to be bloated and not as fast, in typical Microsoft fashion.

I have enjoyed my journey with Delphi.  The experience of using this wonderful product has been most rewarding.

New Delphi Community Edition SDK paths setup.

 I want develop for android. 
But non found several   
items in SDK paths like 
android.bat.

Buongiorno Marco.
Non capisco perché i 
percorsi di SDK di Java non 
siamo a post, malgrado 
l'installazione di default. 
Vorrei tanto staccarmi da 
B4A. Per piacere, mi dai un 
link od anche un libro da 
comprare? Purché riesca ad 
usare il rad c++builder per 
sviluppare con android.
Ti ringrazio.
