Embarcadero started the betatest of the next RadStudio 11 / Delphi 11 update patch codenamed Malawi.
If will include a lot of bugfixes and performance improvements but as it is “just” a 11.2.x update i wouldn’t expect any huge groundbreaking new features.
They might include some new functions, header files or some nice VCL or FireMonkey controls, but who knows.
Bugfixes and performance improvements are always welcome 🙂
