===Backward compatibility===

Delphi is one of the languages where backward compatibility is close to 100%. Although each new release of Delphi attempts to keep as much [[backward compatibility]] as possible to allow existing code reuse, new features, new libraries, and improvements sometimes make newer releases less than 100% backward compatible.

Since 2016, there have been new releases of Delphi every six months, with new platforms being added approximately every second release.<ref>{{cite web|title=List of Delphi language features and version in which they were introduced/deprecated|url=https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8460037/list-of-delphi-language-features-and-version-in-which-they-were-introduced-depre|publisher=Stack Overflow|access-date=9 March 2016|archive-date=28 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160228200427/http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8460037/list-of-delphi-language-features-and-version-in-which-they-were-introduced-depre|url-status=live}}</ref>
