Hi
The new Delphi 2006 is reported to have a new feature - records with methods - e.g.,
type TBlock = record procedure Foo(I: Integer); function Bar: TBlock; private Data: Integer; public property Color: Integer end;
It also has something called static fields (for Classes), declared with "class var" (e.g., "class var foo : integer"). These are fields that belong to the type, rather than to any of its instances.
I am not sure why either of these new features is necessary or useful, but perhaps they should be borne in mind with respect to Delphi compatibility (or perhaps not).
