LCL major changes
- TFrame was added
- TPen: cosmetic/geometric, Join Style, End Cap Style. For more information, see blog.
- Most of component properties now have default values => smaller .lfm files.
- TMonitor class: multi-monitor support.

- TreeView component got editing support and misc visual enhancements.
- new properties: TBitBtn.GlyphShowMode, TApplication.ShowButtonGlyphs which turn visibility of glyphs on buttons for every single button or for whole application. For more information, see blog.
LCL minor changes
- TColorBox, TColorListBox has been rewritten. Now they are more delphi compatible.
- TColorDialog.CustomColors has been added.

- TMouseButtons added mbExtra1, mbExtra2. Support for 5 Button Mouse (Windows only)
IDE changes
- New IDE options dialog combines environments, editor, codetools, code explorer, debugger and help options. A new api is introduced to add custom IDE settings into IDE options dialog.

- Project enhancements:
- Application icon has been added to the Project Options.

- Form designer enhancements:
- non-visual components can be drawn with captions

- Code explorer enhancements:
- Code Observer section (misc notes about code), turn on in code explorer options
- Debugging:
- Assembler window
- Call stack dialog improvements: icons for entries, сlicking on valid source line can be used to toggle breakpoint for that line, for those stack entries which have no source line an address is shown.
- Lines which are present in executable are shown as dots in the source editor gutter.
- New debugger exception notification dialog with ability to turn off notification for this exception and continue execution is shown instead of old exception dialog
- EAbort exception is added to the default list of exceptions to skip (all new projects skips this exception by default)
- Breakpoint properties dialog
