Rearranged, put release history into table
'''Borland Delphi''' is an implementation of the [[Pascal programming language]] developed and sold by CodeGear (originally Borland) for Microsoft Windows. It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with editor, compiler, linker, and debugger. Like Visual BASIC, Delphi is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment. Delphi is the successor to [[Borland Pascal]] and [[Turbo Pascal]]. The Pascal language has been extended, including support for huge strings with a theoretical maximum size of 2 Gb (version 2 and later only). It uses the Visual Control Library (VCL) as an abstraction to the Microsoft Windows API.

== Compatibilities ==
Although the core code is highly compatible with the earlier Borland Pascal and Turbo Pascal products, Windows-specific parts of Delphi are incompatible with previous Pascal products from Borland that used Object Windows Library (OWL). Other incompatibilities related to proprietary function libraries also caused upgrade problems. Nevertheless, VCL is much improved over OWL.
Because of the managed code environment, .NET applications introduced some incompatibilities with non-.NET code.
