[David Schwartz 430]

The announcement page says this Delphi update includes the latest release of the Edge Webview component.

Personal note: each time I see GetIt involved, I remember that mORMot was never accepted as part of it because it was "breaking their license policy". In short, you could use any Delphi version (even the free edition) and create Client-Server apps with it. I guess this is the same reason the great ZEOS library or even UniDAC are not part of it, if I checked correctly their registration.

That's why I prefer more open package solutions like Delphinus and I hope in the future the very promising https://github.com/DelphiPackageManager/DPM

*facepalm*

Winsock is included into RTL and you can create client-server apps with it. What a stupid policy

That is where they included it, since GetIt can update components between IDE releases.

But it's part of the base install now, according to their website. And it wasn't updated in GetIt previously even though it had been updated by MS.
