Well, that de-escalated quickly.

ANN: New version of StyleControls VCL v 5.75 with Skia VCL interaction for Lottie Animations just released. https://www.almdev.com In new version we added TscGPGlyphContainerButton control, which uses any TControl as Glyph inside. Also we created special demo for RAD Studio Athens with Skia VCL controls and TscGPGlyphContainerButton (TskAnimationImage with Lottie animations and TskSvg control - really new level of UI in your applications)...

ICS V9.1 has been released at: https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download ICS is a free internet component library for Delphi 7, 2006 to 2010, XE to XE8, 10, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 11 and 12 and C++ Builder 10.4, 11 and 12. ICS supports VCL and FMX, Win32, Win64 and MacOS 32-bit targets. Beware Mac OS-X and C++ have not been tested recently due to lack of support from such users. The distribution zip includes the latest OpenSSL 3.0.13. 3.1.5 and 3.2.1, for Win32 and Win64. The highlights of V9.1 were posted in this topic two weeks ago, and are included in the download page. The full release notes for V9.1 are at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_V9.1 There is also a new page https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/Updating_projects_to_V9.1 to help with migrating existing projects. The main ICS readme9.txt has the installation section rewritten to explain the new common groups and packages used for Delphi 10.4 and later, so you won't find any dedicated ICS packages for Delphi 11 or 12. The readme now also explains all defines in the .\Source\Include\OverbyteIcsDefs.inc file that control how OpenSSL is loaded. All ICS active samples are available as prebuilt executables, to allow ease of testing without needing to install ICS and build them all. There are four separate zip files split into clients, servers, tools and miscellaneous samples which can be downloaded from https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Samples Angus

Well at least theoretically, if the heat death of the universe doesn't occur first Here is a video to get you warmed up.... I updated my sample from last year with a callback allowing you to view the digits of Pi as they are generated. All the source code is on GitHub. Happy Pi day 2024! Created a few fun wallpapers too.

Rename that unit, then build.

May the be graph attached in that post ? https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/10229-unit-dependency-viwer/?do=findComment&comment=81286

Can you open an RSP on that 😂

Hello, the Opencv 4.6 wrapper repository now has new examples, better Pascal classes, much better documentation. And instructions for compile on MacOS, too. Enjoy! Github repo https://github.com/gidesa/ocvWrapper46/

I do, and I suspect many others do as well. What I was mostly disappointed about was the statement below. The company promoted in that link and the accompanying webinar was DerScanner. I watched the webinar last September and it intrigued me enough to ask approval to pursue having a small project analyzed and review the results. Their home page had a short form to request a trial. Instead of providing a trial, I received an email that I will share, since it is typical marketing: I responded that I requested a trial from their home page. The reply was that my request for a trial was forwarded and included a whitepaper that "describes the key features of DerScanner". One of the key features was that DerScanner could analyze 36 programming languages, "even obsolete Delphi, COBOL and Visual Basic 6.0". I also noticed that the short form on their home page was changed from a trial request to "Get a Demo". They did provide a trial account and I submitted the project along with a couple third-party libraries (with each vendor's permission). The resulting report contained thousands of incorrect analysis. One of the more prominent and obnoxious was “hardcoded encryption key”, for code such as "ctrlKey := GetKeyState(VK_Control) < 0", and every other line of code that contained these three characters in sequence: k e y, including static text. The analysis that DerScanner provided was a complete joke and a total waste of time. The trial included two scans for free (I only used one), additional scans after the trial were $1,000 per scan. Sure, my employer can say "Yes, we are concerned about security. We had our application analyzed by a third-party that specializes in code analysis. They used a highly sophisticated tool named grep to analyze our code for vulnerabilities." I am particularly disappointed in the recent statement because I had direct contact with Ian regarding my frustrating experience, and the laugh that I had after reviewing the generated report.

Thanks to Ethea S.r.l. who commissioned Luca Minuti to write a Delphi implementation of SAML protocols/libraries and make it available Open-Source to the entire Delphi community. The project has now been completed also for the 64-bit platform as well. The project is available on Git-Hub at this address: https://github.com/EtheaDev/Delphi-SAML

I don't need any new features. I just need that the existing features work as intended. And there are many areas where existing features need to be made usable again (e.g. refactoring, code formatting, HighDPI). OK, one new feature would be nice: compiling for Raspberry Pi. But fixing the existing features needs to be done first.
