They charged full price for it of course and won’t be retrofitting those bug fixes to Delphi 2009 or 2007 (where they would be of most use).</span></div>

"While I usually agree with you Jolyon I don’t feel Malcolm Groves told us Delphi 10 was mainly just bug fixes. What he did say was that there were only one or two big killer features but there were hundreds of small improvements. Some of these small improvements were no doubt bug fixes, but many are enhancements and new features which from the sound of it really improve the IDE."</span><div>
