    This has always been a philosophical debate between Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero and 3rd-Party Vendors. Delphi has always been developed using the “moving forward” only approach. Once a new version of Delphi is released, older versions stop receiving updates.

    Technically, 3rd-Party vendors do the exact same thing. For example, once CodeSite 5 was released, we stopped updating CodeSite 4.

    However, the difference is that 3rd-Party vendors support multiple versions of Delphi, and because of that, 3rd-Party vendors design their code to reflect that. With KSVC, the library is maintained by Embarcadero and they consider the library an extension of their current code base.
