Hi, I was reading the latest documentation (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ user/userse35.html) and noticed the following: > The Delphi mode of the compiler tries to mimic Delphi as > closely as possible. and > Delphi compatibility is relatively complete up to Delphi 7. > New constructs in higher versions of Delphi (notably, the > versions that work with .NET) are not supported. Delphi 7 and Delphi.NET are extremely old by 2026 standards. Is there currently a definitive Delphi version that FPC aims to be compatible with? Additionally, is there a formal roadmap or list of modern language features that the team is currently cloning or aiming to implement in -Mdelphi mode?
