Why you don't use only the modified files along with yours projects (in a common repository for example) instead to porting all Indy environment ? I use Indy from a long time and I never saw a big changes. I used in the past ( very past ) to modify some IdAuto* protocols 'cause incompatibility with private Servers (MD5 bugged ... and stay bugged on their side). Bye

I'm some commits far from latest in Indy10 git repository but to work I've: 1] moved all files in folder from git project to be close on what I've found on Delphi 2] changed the .inc to be close to Delphi originals all work fine and I'm free to modify Indy to meet my "odd and old" protocols...

It should not be ambiguous. Indy uses the LocaleCharsFromUnicode() function that Delphi provides in the System unit. The IdGlobal unit defines its own version of that function only if Delphi's version doesn't exist. So there should be no such function defined in the IdGlobal unit in Delphi 12. If there is, then something is wrong. The DPKs don't provide the conditionals that Indy uses. They are all defined in IdCompilerDefines.inc which is included by the individual .pas files.... OH, yeah, the branch wasn't up-to-date with the latest .inc file yet. I have updated the branch with the latest master code for Delphi 12.

You can execute this statement after connecting to a v4 or v5 db: 'set bind of TIME ZONE to LEGACY'

I didn't mean it like that. I was speaking in practical terms. You are not going to get Delphi with Garbage Collection, and Delphi with ARC-everywhere (not just interfaces and dynamic arrays) has already failed. So if you need it, your only choice is to move away from Delphi. I didn't mean this in the "love it or leave it" sense, LOL!

You should report these as bugs to Embarcadero, but unfortunately they've been unable to provide a mechanism for reporting bugs for last past few months.

This rust appears to be yet another write-only language. Generics is fine. 🙂

There's an argument I can subscribe to: Spare us the syntactic sugar of the last 15 years and concentrate on the bug fixing. Digit separators, generics, inline variable declaration, multiline string literals, string-like operations support for dynamic arrays? Can them all, and burn the heretics who asked for them

No, it's just begun. Okay, I'll stop now. I think I got my point across 🙂

That's funny. Almost all my problems with JCL and JVCL was caused by the fact that I installed them in the first place. Easily solvable though 🙂

With the exception that ARC is one of the worst ways of doing that - here are some reasons.

I had a similar error with a type mismatch with a date field in MSSQL, due to a new data type being introduced that wasn't recognised by the driver. Found the new driver and all was well.
