Also "self" is no more known inside class methods in XE. In D7 it was

Source please. This compiles and runs without problems in XE:
=== source begin ===
type
TTest = class
class procedure Test; <---------
end;
When you add "static;", as required for class property getters/setters,
the following won't compile:
That's why I asked for source. The term "class methods" always implies
"no static" while those with static are "static class methods".
class procedure TTest.Test;
begin
Writeln(Self.ClassName);
end;
So the lack of "Self" seems to apply to "static;" methods, not to
"class" methods. I'll ask in an EMBT group for a description of
"static;", the OH seems to reflect the C++ meaning only, without
mentioning the impact on OPL classes.
A static class method is a method that is basically a normal global
procedure/function that simply happens to be declared inside a class.
They are even assignment compatible to normal procvars.
