Borland has made available a roadmap of their future plans for Delphi, up until 2007. Delphi is a object-oriented, Pascal-derived language and development environment.

Delphi 2006 adds C and C++ support. The Delphi compiler also adds support for operator overloading, and the inlining of compiler magic functions.

"Delphi Highlander" is due for release in 2006. It adds .NET 2.0 support to the Delphi toolset, including the addition of generic types, partial classes, and nullable types to Delphi.NET.

There are plans to add support for the Avalon, Indigo and WinFX technologies of Windows Longhorn in the "Delphi Longhorn" release. This release will also add managed C++ support.
