The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff: jpluimers

While updating a project to a more recent version of Delphi, I also updated the JEDI.INC reference.

Note that since writing Delphi – finding the VERxxx define for a particular Delphi version: use JEDI.INC, the Delphi JEDI project moved from SoureForge to GitHub.

The fun thing: JEDI.INC got updated a few months ago to support Delphi XE7 provisionally.

Given the Delphi release cycle of twice a year, the Delphi Carpathia aka XE7 rumours this summer, I presume Delphi XE7 is near because of:

• The Source Forge RadStudioDemos trunk activitiy (based on my previous SF activity post).
• The root URL of the Delphi XE7 docwiki to become active.
• The mentioning of Delphi XE7 launch events at this Google Plus thread.

By then the list of Delphi Versionen | Delphi-Treff will likely also be updaed.

I’m anxious to see if the (Dutch + English) BIG Delphi Conference organized by Barnsten and Blaise from September 11-12 in the Netherlands will be part of the launch tour.

Anyway: here is the JEDI.INC portion with defines:    

    {$IFDEF VER280} // RAD Studio XE7
      {$DEFINE BDS}
      {$DEFINE BDS15}
      {$DEFINE COMPILER21}
      {$IFDEF BCB}
        {$DEFINE BCB21}
      {$ELSE}
        {$DEFINE DELPHI21}
        {$DEFINE DELPHIXE7} // synonym to DELPHI21
        {$DEFINE DELPHICOMPILER21}
      {$ENDIF BCB}
      {$DEFINE RTL280_UP}
      {$UNDEF UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSION}
    {$ENDIF VER280}
