奥林巴斯测试版计划

在发布此版本号的同时，我们很高兴邀请所有 RAD Studio 客户积极更新订阅 Embarcadero 的 Delphi、C++Builder 和 RAD Studio 11（代号为“Olympus”）的 NDA 测试版程序。

与过去不同的是，有两个单独的测试版计划，一个针对高级更新订阅客户，第二个针对所有其他更新订阅客户（测试版计划实际上是为拥有有效订阅的客户保留的）。  Premium Beta 计划包括一个在线论坛，用于提供与 Beta 相关的反馈和讨论，您可以在此与产品专家、产品经理和其他 Beta 测试人员互动。

如何加入高级订阅客户

高级订阅客户已收到电子邮件邀请（发送给他们订阅的主要联系人），可以通过将他们的注册电子邮件地址添加到通信中包含的特定表单来加入。  如果您还没有收到它并想加入高级测试版，您可以联系您的销售代表或经销商合作伙伴。

如何加入普通订阅客户：

我们还向所有订阅客户发送了一封电子邮件，要求他们参与常规测试。  如果您还没有收到，请在 2021 年 7 月 16 日星期五之前使用此表格提供您的姓名和与更新订阅相关的电子邮件地址（您用于注册产品的电子邮件）。

对于这两个团体，一旦您提供了您的电子邮件地址，您将在 7 月晚些时候收到一封后续电子邮件，其中包含以电子方式签署 Olympus Beta NDA 的链接。  签署保密协议后，您将获得参与测试所需的信息。  请注意，我们建议不要在生产机器上安装测试版。

加入订阅加入测试版

当前未订阅但有兴趣加入 Olympus 测试版以预览 RAD Studio 11？  联系您的 Embarcadero 销售代表或经销商合作伙伴以购买最新版本或续订您的订阅，并受邀加入常规或高级测试计划。

RAD Studio 11 is Coming: New Version Number Announcement and Beta Invite for Update Subscription Customers

We are pleased to announce that the
next version of Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio will be version 11.
This is currently in the works and we plan to release it later this
year.

Moving to Version 11

A few years back, Embarcadero decided
to match the version number of the two primary desktop operating
systems we target (Windows 10 and OS X, later renamed macOS 10) with a
series of RAD Studio 10.x releases: 10 “Seattle”, 10.1 “Berlin”, 10.2
“Tokyo”, 10.3 “Rio”, and 10.4 “Sydney”.

In light of the recent changes in
macOS versioning (currently at version 11) and Microsoft’s recent
announcement of a coming Windows 11 version, we have decided to change
our product numbering scheme accordingly. Windows, in particular,
remains a key target for us, with the best library to build Windows
client UI applications, our own VCL and we want to underline this strong
connection.

Therefore, the next major release of RAD Studio, Delphi and C++ Builder, originally expected to be 10.5, is going to be version 11. We expect it to be followed by minor updates with version numbers like 11.x and a future new major release called 12.

RAD Studio 11 will build on the great
features introduced in RAD Studio 10.4 series and will add new features
and enhancements throughout the product, with particular focus to the
Integrated Development Environment (or IDE), that is, the RAD Studio
application itself.

The Olympus Beta Program

At the same time of this version
number announcement, we are pleased to invite all of our RAD Studio
customers with an active update subscription to the NDA beta program for
Embarcadero’s Delphi, C++Builder, and RAD Studio 11, codenamed
“Olympus”.

Differently from the past, there are
two separate beta programs, one for Premium Update Subscription
customers and the second for all other Update Subscription Customers
(the beta program, in fact, is reserved to customers with an active
subscription). The Premium beta program includes as an extra benefit an
online forum for beta-related feedback and discussion, where you can
engage with product experts, product managers, and fellow beta testers.

How to join for Premium Subscription Customers

Premium subscription customers have
received an email invite (sent to the primary contact for their
subscription) and can join by adding their registration email address to
a specific form included in the communication. If you haven’t received
it and want to join the Premium beta, you can reach out to your sales
representative or reseller partner.

How to join for regular Subscription Customers:

We have also sent an email to all
subscription customers, indigent them to participate in the regular
beta. In case you haven’t received it, please provide your name and the
email address associated with your Update Subscription (the email you
used to register the product) using this form by Friday, July 16, 2021.

For both groups, once you’ve provided
your email address, you will receive a follow-up email later in July,
with a link to electronically sign the Olympus Beta NDA. After signing
the NDA, you will be provided with the information needed to participate
in the beta. Please note that we recommend against installing beta
versions on a production machine.
