Delphi 64 open beta now available!
In a bold (or unintentional?) move, a Delphi 64 beta has been released on the Embarcadero servers, there is no official announce yet, so hit the link below while it’s still there, it may not last long!
Delphi 64 (maybe open?) beta download
..alas this was just for april’s fool… Let’s hope the next announcement about Delphi 64 availability will happen before April 2012!
edit 04/04: coincidence? They’ll deny it, no one saw them do it, and anyway no one can’t prove anything, but the following announces have just been made:
Delphi 64-bit Compiler Sneak Preview and Beta – Official Announcement
Delphi 64-bit Compiler Preview and Beta Program
And Marco Cantu has the exec summary: Delphi 64 bit Sneak Preview
With none other than David “let’s-have-a-drink” Intersimone as host for Embarcadero page for “Pulsar” beta being http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/64-bit
There is something fishy around this announcement.
Just finished installing the x64 version, did you guys manage to debug without the IDE hanging?
Well, more or less what happened in the past ten years…
Nice
First i was like. *woooohoooo*
Then i clicked.
Then i got shocked.
Then i realized the url.
Then i looked at the date.
Then all hope was gone.
You totaly got me
Thanks for the link. Nice post.
At least I’m now able to test my code with the 64 bit features. There was no “NativeUInt” typecast missing.
Wow it’s more stable than some of the previous official releases:)
Nice, the FishFact demo is working
@Ajasja Ljubeti?
one of the best comments! (-:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…and thanks for the fish
I love the clean way they did they managed to get the fishfact application working.
As long as the fish fact demo works … the world is ok … who needs more

@Jeroen Pluimers
Yes I like the fishfact new layout. Full of colors. It’s a huge step since Delphi 1 !
And the purpose of post is???
nice fish!

April Fool, my friend
hahaha … brilliant.
Nicely done, Nick! Don’t know why I didn’t think of that one…. it’s so…. OBVIOUS
Nice!!!!, I’m wondering why NativeInt is still 32 bits in this version, bug?
hahahahahaha
Is the fact of joking about this a sign that a native 64bit compiler for delphi will never arrive ?
It is fish only but fun
Sick thing is that I actually clicked on a link from Nick Hodges’ twitter message to find my way here. lol
Oh, that was cruel. Funny and good, but cruel.
Might be good to fish-out some interest from Embarcadero on D64
@Cesar Romero
Hi Cesar. I know it was April’s fool. But my thoughts were, what if every blogger in the world did the same… Just google for “Delphi 64 beta” and you will see that this post will be the first one on the list, and maybe it will be for years to come. In one year or two developers around the world will find this useless post when they try to find the REAL Delphi 64 beta announcement.
@Alexandre Machado
Well, two things, if this page could reach the top, it’s because they allowed such a void to happen, and second, pages can be updated
