Project reached somewhat usable state. Check it here. SChannel is Windows built-in implementation of TLS protocols. This allows supporting secure connections without any external library. Repo contains: unit with transport-agnostic helper functions for easy implementation of TLS communication by means of Windows SChannel. sample of transport-agnostic synchronous TLS handshake using callback functions for real communication API declarations borrowed from JEDI project ICS TWSocket descendant that performs TLS communication demo project for performing any textual (mainly HTTPS) requests via secure connection Note. I first started learning what TLS is a couple of weeks ago :) So units contain only a necessary minimum to interact with TLS server. Certs and other advanced stuff are in TODO. Thanks to author of TLS-Sample from http://www.coastrd.com/c-schannel-smtp and JEDI for WinAPI headers.

COVID-19 got us all down a bit and even with the vaccines theoretically available now, the light at the end of the tunnel seems very far away. My own turn for a jab will probably not come before fall 2021, so I can only hope that summer will reduce the infection rates as much as it did last year, but the new mutants that spread around the world definitely aren’t good news. Maybe I can lighten up your mood a bit with a new GExperts release. There are a few bug fixes and an also a few new features in the new version, but nothing really exciting. read on in the blog post.

I have news regarding to IDE hang. I took the time (lot) to attach the frozen IDE to a debugger and find followings: there is a infinite message loop, affected are tlbEntityInsight NameBtn some child controls of NameBtn without any component name nor text TypeNameBtn some child controls of TypeNameBtn without any component name nor text the infinite message loop is a variation of these messages: 1328 TCM_ADJUSTRECT 46 WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING 7c WM_STYLECHANGING 7d WM_STYLECHANGED 1328 will be triggered from: function TCustomTabControl.GetDisplayRect: TRect; Looks like this whole entity thingy is on: TAppBuilder->TEditorDockPanel->TEditWindow->TPanel Also, I have this EntityInsight turned off in the configuration. Actually I'm only using the open unit function from MMX. It happens rarely, especially on fast finger actions like formatting, saving quickly, and meanwhile the mouse is over an entity in the editor and tries to evaluate it. But then the IDE won't recover from this message loop. For the record, there is always a chance that other things are also playing a role, especially when we are debugging windows messages, so take this info as an observation, maybe it helps finding something.

@FredS Ahm, I know this! "In welchen saisonalen Zeiträumen sind Coronaviren in Mitteleuropa normalerweise aktiv?" except summer holiday and xmas, 05:00-19:59.

Maybe its worth to share the answer in your cross-post on SO. What brings me to the question if MacInCloud is a useful tool or not ? I considered to use MacInCloud in the transistion times, when OS version changes, to fastly and safely make early tests. Now I set up my own VM, installing stuff, etc., which is no big deal, but also takes some time. What I wanted to test if just starting MacInCloud, pre-configurated, can maybe reduce these test- and configuration time a lot. I would try with real devices, so not the simulator, as the SO answer also points to. Will such setup with MacInCloud is working flawlessly and make sense, or will I stay better with my VM setup ? I'm wondering who has good or bad experiences with MacInCloud.
