Release Notes

We use Calendar Versioning. The first stable release will be DocInsight 2026.1. We treat Stable and Insiders as update channels rather than separate editions. Stable is intended for production use, while Insiders provides early access to new features and updates. Both channels can be installed side-by-side, and they maintain separate settings and toolchains.

DocInsight 2026.1 aims to establish a new foundation with initial Markdown-based authoring. This preview release is the first step toward that goal.

Shim-based toolchain architecture

Directory Structure

Example:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\DevJet\DocInsight\
├── toolchains.json                # Manage toolchains
├── bin\                           # The "Entry Points" (Added to User PATH)
│   ├── docinsight.exe             # The Shim (x64)
│   ├── docinsight-loader-x86.dll  # Delphi Extension Loader
│   └── docinsight-loader-x64.dll  # Delphi Extension Loader
└── toolchains\                    # The "Payloads"
    ├── 2026.1.0\                  # Concrete stable version (Core CLI + Extensions)
    └── 2026.2.0-insider.xxxx\     # Concrete insiders version

The Shim (bin\docinsight.exe) will load default toolchain and invoke the real CLI (e.g. toolchains\2026.1.0\bin\docinsight.exe).

we added these commands in the shim:

docinsight toolchain list           List all toolchains
docinsight toolchain default [Name] Get or set default toolchain
docinsight delphi list              List supported Delphi versions and extension status
docinsight delphi enable|disable    Enable/Disable DocInsight extensions for all Delphi environments
docinsight which                    Show full path of default DocInsight CLI

We will publish a separate blog post to explain this architecture. For now, it should work the same as before. Please note that the installer will add the shim to the user PATH.

Native Windows ARM64 DocInsight CLI

The installer will automatically use the ARM64 CLI if you are running Windows on ARM64. Otherwise, it will fall back to the x64 version.

A simple benchmark shows approximately a 1.6× rendering performance boost.
