Today is the tenth anniversary of the launch of Delphi version 1.0 at the Software Development Conference. We celebrate this date in Delphi’s history, but the actual RTM (release to manufacturing) date, and the date that all of the Delphi v1 files are date stamped, was February 15, 1995. Gary Whizin, R&D manager for Delphi tells the story in the remembrance audio interview available on Borland Development Network’s BDN Radio.
Gary said that the team did sign off the Delphi 1 master on February 14, 1995 before driving to the conference for the product launch. A stop ship bug was found and the product was re-mastered and the team signed off the first version again on February 15, 1995 (the date stamp on the files). There were two additional releases of Delphi 1 - Delphi 1.01 on April 25, 1995 and Delphi 1.02 on August 25, 1995.
Look for some historic Delphi 1 documents and stories in the BDN museum.
Happy Launch Day, Delphi.
Happy Valentine’s Day Martha!
