Show me some evidence based on measurements.

Today I discovered a new FastCGI implementation for the Ngix web server in Delphi and think I'd share it with you: https://github.com/kylixfans/FastCGI PS, I didn't make this - it's by my fellow countryman, but I guess here is the best sub-forum to make such a post?

You can try to restore the settings from the backup according to these instructions. Backups are automatically created by the Migration Tool before the current configuration settings are overwritten in the following cases: Importing Settings from a Migration File Migrating Settings to a Newer Product Version Restoring Settings from Backup

Perhaps something similar to this: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-29126

Err... that option does not exist any more. You have to use migration tool to preserve settings if you are reinstalling and updating and also for upgrading to new major version.

Colours aren't hex. Hex is just a different way to write an integer, using base 16. For instance $10=16.

Not a major issue, but ProductVersion is set to 26 (same as Delphi Rio) when it should be 27. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-29480 We have internal tools that are failing due to that. For now we have just edited the registry by hand.

Ah ha! The penny at last drops. The dangers of copying code that works in 32 bit, but no longer in 64 bit. My DLL is 64bit, but when I created a test executable to try and send the message I must have compiled it as 32 bit rather than 64 so it worked. The SendMessage needed to be: WinAPI.Windows.SendMessage(Hdl, WM_COPYDATA, 0, LPARAM(@copyDataStruct)); That was the only reason the message was not getting through and had I realised this 48 hours ago I might have some hair left. It's time for that Lockdown drink! I will raise a glass to you

I revisited my dzBdsLauncher tool again – no idea why, it just occurred to me 😉 – and added quite a few improvements: It now supports .dof (Delphi 6 and 7) and .bdsproj (Delphi 2005 and 2006) files. In addition to the previous checks it now also looks at the disabled packages list to determine which Delphi version to start. That’s the only option for Delphi 2005 and 2006 because these files are nearly identical. It can now also handle .dpr files by looking for corresponding .dproj, .bdsproj and .dof files (in that order) and taking these to determine the correct Delphi version. As a side effect I found a problem with the Delphi 10.1 version of the GExperts .dproj file. It had a wrong ProjectVersion entry. The blog post with download link is here.
