A very useful link Jeremy, thanks for that.

I have to say, that aside from a handful of "mmm, that's mildly interesting"
things, in the key areas of interest to me (compiler and VCL/RTL) the list
of changes is both short and at the same time seems to have been padded out
in desperation.

Examples of padding:


Listing the fact that directives are now documented under "Compiler Changes"
?

This is surely simply "reasonably expected documentation", not a compiler
change.  Ditto "Display Preferences" option in the "VCL/RTL Changes".

Also in the "VCL/RTL Changes" TThread.Suspend/Resume were (incorrectly,
imho) *already* deprecated in Delphi 2010 iirc and moving classes from unit
A to unit B... useful to know but not exactly worth highlighting in this
sort of changes summary.


On a more positive note, there are some genuinely useful changes/additions
in the debugger, but can it really be correct that "F9" is now bound to "Run
without debugging" as seems to be indicated?
