[...] VER190 (by some people attributed to the wrong Delphi version) is only used by Delphi 2007 for .NET [...]

Ah yes, Delphi.NET. That explains why CompilerVersion 19 passed me by entirely unnoticed.

Oops.

Delphi 2007 for .Net’s CompilerVersion and RTLVersion are both 19, as they should be.

Writeln(Format(’RTLVersion: %n’, [RTLVersion]));
Writeln(Format(’CompilerVersion: %n’, [CompilerVersion]));

{$IFDEF VER80}
WriteLn(’VER80′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER90}
WriteLn(’VER90′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER100}
WriteLn(’VER100′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER120}
WriteLn(’VER120′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER130}
WriteLn(’VER130′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER140}
WriteLn(’VER140′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER150}
WriteLn(’VER150′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER160}
WriteLn(’VER160′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER170}
WriteLn(’VER170′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER180}
WriteLn(’VER180′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER185}
WriteLn(’VER185′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER190}
WriteLn(’VER190′);
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF VER200}
WriteLn(’VER200′);
{$ENDIF}

ReadLn;

Yup, that’s a bug in the Delphi 2009 documentation.

I use the compiler defines instead of CompilerVersion and RTLVersion. I think they’re a little more straight forward.

Going by this, it looks like Delphi for .Net’s RTLVersion should have been 19, but it’s still 18.5, like with Win32.

Delphi 2007 should have been the 19. But to clarify that this was a special ‘non-breaking’ release that was changed to 18.5. But internally that was still the 19 and so they continued with the 20…
