Rubicon supports Delphi 12.3 with Win64 IDE
Rubicon Lite v4.081+ installs into in Delphi 12.3 and includes installation of the FireDAC bridge with full Win64 support in the IDE.

Discourse Forum launched
Now there is a
dedicated web-based forum for Rubicon support.
We followed the example of Embarcadero and the
Australian Delphi User Group in selecting Discourse as the
platform. The moderator will need to approve you before you
can post; please be a little patient with us as we learn the ropes.
All Rubicon customers, past present and future! are most welcome.

Rubicon with FireMonkey
Using RAD Studio XE4+ with FireMonkey and Rubicon v4.028+
is possible with a range of target platforms.
The example project uses the IBExpress bridge.
You could change the demo project to use another bridge such as FireDAC.
Look for example programs under the usual
r_samples folder.
Compile FireMonkey projects with compiler conditional FMACTIVE.

These work fine for existing Rubicon customers
but the demo projects have not been upgraded yet.
M) ADO
L) ElevateDB
E) IB Express
I) IB Objects
N) NexusDB
O) Oracle DOA
These two bridges are under construction, with a relatively high priority because these are universal drivers like FireDAC.
U) UniDAC
Z) Zeos - free open source but not actively maintained for D29
Inactive Bridges
Source for these bridges is available. These
are suitable for use by Delphi programmers familiar with
subversion and able to
instantiate rubicon components at runtime.
