Major TADTable optimization, Firebird v 3 support (packaged procedures, PSQL functions, identity columns, BOOLEAN data type), Firebird COMPUTED BY support, PostgreSQL v 9 support (named parameters, anonymous blocks, enums), Interbase v 6, 7 support, Advantage v 8, 9 support, SQL Anywhere v 12 support, SQLite v 3.7.9 support, ElevateDB ODBC support, ReportBuilder DADE and more.

Possibly breaking changes

1. SQL Server and SQL Anywhere 'App' connection definition parameter removed. Use 'ApplicationName' instead. Supported by SQL Server, SQL Anywhere, Oracle and PostgreSQL driver.
2. ParamBindMode property is removed. Use Params.BindMode instead.
3. Oracle NUMBER (no precision and scale) now is described as dtFmtBCD (38,38) instead of dtFmtBCD (38,0).
4. RoundToScale option renamed to Round2Scale.
5. Fetching All & Unidirectional is prohibited and will raise an exception.

Mac OS X and iOS support

In last 3 months we had a lot of customer requests in other areas, including TADTable and Live Data Window support. We decided to finish / implement those areas with the higher priority. And add Mac OS X and iOS support around Happy New 2012 Year.
