There is a newer version: 1.12.1

Why is this an issue?
From Delphi 11 onwards, digit separators _ can be used to split numeric literals
  into groups.

  To improve readability, this rule verifies that numeric literals using separators have groups of a
  standard, homogeneous size.


  Decimal literals: groups of 3 digits
  Hexadecimal literals: groups of 2 or 4 digits
  Binary literals: groups of 2, 3, or 4 digits


Noncompliant code example
  const
    WrongGroupSize = 1_0000;     // Noncompliant; using groups of 4 instead of 3
    MixedGroupSize = $F_7F_FFFF; // Noncompliant; using mixed group sizes


Compliant code example
  const
    DecimalInt       = 10_000;
    HexadecimalInt2  = $7_FF_FF;
    HexadecimalInt4  = $7_FFFF;
    BinaryInt2       = %0_10_10;
    BinaryInt3       = %01_010;
    BinaryInt4       = %0_1010;
    LongDecimalFloat = 10_000.0;
    FloatWithAnySeps = 10.0_0_00_1;


Exceptions

  Only the integer component of floating point numbers is checked for compliance; the fractional and
  exponent parts are ignored.


How to fix it

  Pick an appropriate, standard digit group size from the above list.
  Starting from the right, group the digits in the integer using _ between groups.
