Embarcadero RAD Studio 12.1 Athens Update 1

This patch addresses some issues in RAD Studio 12.1, around the new editor split view feature of the IDE, the Delphi 64-bit compiler when building packages, debugging, and strings.

Installation via GetIt
If you download the patch via GetIt, it is installed automatically, creating a backup of the files replaced and a log of the operations. However, because PAServer is installed on remote computers, you need to manually reinstall PAServer on each of the target platforms you are working with, following the steps at: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Installing_the_Platform_Assistant_on_Windows

In this case, after downloading and expanding the ZIP file, you should run the patch.R121.patch1_install.bat file or manually expand the R121.patch1.zip into the respective subfolders of the RAD Studio installation folder. You also need to update PAServer on target platforms as discussed above.

Uninstallation Steps

* Open the Catalog Repository installation folder and move to the patch folder
* Run the patch.R121.patch1_uninstall.bat file
* Only *after* you have cleared the patch, uninstall the package from GetIt

Notice on Delphi Win64 Packages
This patch modifies the symbols exported by Delphi packages built for the Windows 64 platform, to address a problem introduced in 12.1. Packages that include unit names with a single underscore character or that refer to units with single underscore character in other packages and built with the RTM version of 12.1 can conflict with unit names using the dot notation. We addressed this issue in the patch, but the net effect is that using packages built with the RTM version of 12.1 might have compatibility issues with the code built after applying this patch. We recommend any third party vendor or developer to update the binary of Delphi Win64 packages built with 12.1 with a version built with this patch applied. This is not required for Delphi Win64 packages built with 12.0. In fact, the compiler in this patch offers improved compatibility with the 12.0 compiler.
