Debug vs Release in Delphi Build Configurations
In Delphi when we develop a software for any client first we create a Delphi project and then we add the required files like dfm, pas to the project. Then during the development process we compile, debug and run the project several times to find and resolve issues. Once the development is done then we release the software to our client as an EXE file format for use. In Delphi IDE we prepare the EXE file from menu Project -> Build option.
