RadStudio 11 and Delphi 11 Beta codename Malawi

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.

Bugfixes and performance improvements are always welcome 🙂
