FinalBuilder is an Automated Build tool which supports Delphi 3 - 12.3 and C++Builder 3 - 12.3, along with many other tools. Version 8.5 adds a new Password Variable type, stronger encryption and new actions to interact with the Windows Credential Manager. https://www.finalbuilder.com/resources/blogs/finalbuilder-85-and-automise-55-release

Hi All This is a port of the dotnet/c# Console class, which makes easy to do things like set colors, move the cursor etc. https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.System.Console Currently only Windows supported, however it's architected so that other platforms can be added - happy to take pull requests for that if anyone wants to add other platforms. Supports Delphi XE3 or later (compiles with XE2 but encoding issues stop it from working correctly).

The demo is very basic - haven't had time to produce anything more extensive.

The valid sizes will depend on your screen resolution. on my machine I get LargestWindowHeight 85 LargestWindowWidth 320 So that call to SetWindowSize is out of bounds for your machine. I guess I should make the demo use more conservative values.

Oh that's weird. What version of delphi are you using?

Hi All I published a simple wrapper over the Windows Credential Manager Api https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.WindowsCredentialManager

I don't use delphi for cross platform dev so didn't look at those.

Thanks 1) It's stored in the windows credential manager encrypted. It's of no use to me hashed, I'm using thing credentials to pass on to other applications - for example when talking to a website. 2) Windows Credential Manager is umm... windows only.

Hi All I published a simple threadpool based timer - currently for windows only but architected to be extended for other platforms (PR's invited) https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.ThreadpoolTimer The timer does not rely on windows messages (like TTimer) - so can be used in console applications and services.

Honestly, I don't remember - I wrote this code ages ago!

Ah sorry, didn't know it was a secret🤐

It is a client server application, so there is some configuration needed. The SSL cert is because we use GRPC between the client and the server, grpc requires SSL. I guess that tool is ok for testing, but as far as I can tell it does not support certificates on tokens.

Likewise, I will definitely be going to his talk.

I'll let Stefan chime in on that 😉

ping @Stefan Glienke - he has been working in this area with even better results!

FYI Signotaur can sign MSIX files - https://www.finalbuilder.com/signotaur And it works with Certum tokens and works around the password prompts.

Hi All FinalBuilder 8.0.0.3035 with Rad Studio 11 support is now available from our website - release notes https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums/t/finalbuilder-8-0-0-3035-released/7115 Automating your Build process is simple with FinalBuilder. With FinalBuilder you don't need to edit xml, or write scripts. Visually define and debug your build scripts, then schedule them with windows scheduler, or integrate them with Continua CI, Jenkins or any other CI Server. Thousands of Software Developers rely on FinalBuilder to automate the build, test and release process. If you are not using FinalBuilder to automate your builds, you are missing out 😉

I published this last month https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.WindowsCredentialManager I didn't implement any UI parts, just basic storage and retrieval of credentials.

@Stefan Glienke Looking forward to your talk at Delphi Summit 😃

Ummm.. if you are worried about being left behind, why are you still here, still using Delphi? Surely you should be hanging out with all the cool kids using flavor of the week? 🤷‍♂️

Class property Getter/Setters must be static, however delphi doesn't allow virtual abstract static methods. I don't see a good reason for this, so it's likely technical or an oversight.

Fantasic 😃

Sadly not. I don't want to be littering my code with //formatting off/on etc. So I format by hand and it is what it is.

I follow that except I also use camelCase for local variables. An opinionated formatter that doesn't allow me to configure to my taste is unfortunately not going to cut it. I also do weird things like align assigments in constructors constructor TMyClass.Create(x : integer; y : integer; const theName : string); begin Fx := x; Fy := y; FName := theName; end; and for constants const cMyConst = 'test'; cAnotherConst = 'foobar'; No formatter I have tried can cope with that.
