Prior to Delphi XE and below, the DLL application's project options has these setting:

  1. LIB prefix
  2. LIB suffix
  3. LIB version

However, these settings are missing in Delphi XE2. Is this a bug in Delphi XE2 IDE? Or it will no longer supported in future version of Delphi IDE?

These settings are only shown in the project options for a package project. The settings still take effect for DLL projects if written directly into the source with $LIBPREFIX, $LIBSUFFIX or $LIBVERSION. It's quite possible that the settings can be made directly in the .dproj file even though the IDE doesn't have UI for the settings.
