Hotfix for for Firemonkey in Delphi/C++Builder/RAD update4

Embarcadero CodeCentral has now made available the awaited hotfix for Update#4, which solves the "blurry font" issue in Firemonkey, and other issues.

It's available here: CodeCentral 28881

A side note is that you have to scroll past 150 lines of "Products" that you must own one of, in order to read what is in it. You thought there were a lot of Editions of Windows 7? That's nothing, I believe that Delphi/RAD/C++Builder has them beat. I've done a quick breakdown and here are the numbers:

  • There are 8 editions of AllAccess that contain RAD/Delphi/C++, which is Embarcadero's way of bundling both Database and Developer applications. So your license-key would be an all-access license key, of a particular level (named by metals like silver, gold, etc)
  • There are 5 SKU levels of the primary products, and two products (Delphi and C++ Builder) and then a third product name (RAD Studio) that indicates the bundle of Delphi plus C++ Builder, and when you expand these out, you end up with 142 different "products" that you could have purchased. Some are multi-license packs, some are upgrade editions, and some are special pricing levels like Academic pricing. At some point, if it was my job, I'd keep that list to myself (150 editions in total), and simply replace all the editions in CodeCentral's "customer-facing" document to "You must own an edition of Delphi, or C++ Builder XE2 to download this file". I thought about this, as I scrolled down through three-screens full of editions of RAD Studio. It would amuse me if some of those editions represent combinations that zero customers have actually purchased (The 5 pack of Academic upgrades from Professional to Ultimate, for instance.) Just because I'm in the mood, I'm posting the full list here:
    All-Access Bronze
    All-Access Gold
    All-Access Platinum
    All-Access Silver
    All-Access XE Bronze
    All-Access XE Gold
    All-Access XE Platinum
