Source and documentation

Start with the Beta source. Keep the matching guides beside it.

This is Beta test software for controlled developer evaluation, not a production release. Before downloading or building it, read the User Guide and Setup Wizard Guide. Beta testers build the Studio and its VCL or FMX design packages from the current source with RAD Studio 13 Florence.

Beta test software — read the documentation before you begin

Download and read the User Guide and Setup Wizard Guide before installing components, opening a working project in the Studio, or generating language packs. Engineering and test personnel should also read the Engineering Guide and Complete Test Guide. Use only a backed-up, version-controlled test copy, and verify every generated pack and translated screen.

BETA TESTING

Application source

Build the complete Studio in Delphi.

The source distribution includes the FMX Studio, Setup Wizard, VCL and FMX language components, package projects, schemas, tools, tests, and current documentation.

WINDOWS INSTALLER

Compiled application

A supported installer is not part of the limited Beta. Build locally so the Studio and design packages match your RAD Studio installation.

StatusNot releasedRecommended first buildWin32 Release

DOCX files are editable and printable. The companion PDFs are ready for reading and distribution.

CONTROLLED EVALUATION

Complete Test Guide

A repeatable acceptance sequence for testing project safety, providers, packs, VCL, FMX, language switching, layout, and recovery.

Keep versions together: use the guides distributed with the same source snapshot. Interfaces, package paths, and Beta behavior can change between revisions.

Before building

Current validated development environment

Compatibility is intentionally described narrowly during Beta testing. Broader Delphi-version coverage requires additional clean-machine validation.

Safe first run

From ZIP file to first translated test application.

  1. 1Extract the complete repository. Do not build inside the compressed archive or a temporary preview folder.
  2. 2Build the Studio and design packages. Use RAD Studio 13 Florence; Win32 Release is the simplest starting configuration.
  3. 3Prepare a disposable target copy. Confirm it builds before adding the appropriate manager and connected selector in the Form Designer.
  4. 4Run the Setup Wizard. Select the project, languages, provider, review decisions, and authorized output destinations.
  5. 5Compile and inspect the result. Test every language, important form, restart path, dynamic message, HTML report, and layout used by the application.
