A big part of this has to do with the fact that Indy 10 supports .NET. A lot of operations that Indy 9 does (memory-related operations in particular) are not safe in .NET and had to be changed. For example, Indy 10 does not allow direct-memory buffers to be used anymore. 'Array of Byte' is used for all memory buffers instead. Also, Indy 10 supports many more platforms than Indy 9 did. Win32, .NET, Linux, Mac (via OpenPascal), etc. VCL class types (TStream, etc) and RTL functions had to be abstracted out in order to support differences in the various platforms so that Indy can utilize native types and functions where the VCL does not cover them.
