ICS and RAD Studio 13

[Angus Robertson 672]

ICS is sort of ready for Delphi 13, but you will need the latest version of ICS V9.5 from the overnight zip or SVN.   I recompiled all the ICS samples with D13 yesterday without problems. 

 

I've finished updating V9.5 but am still writing documentation, packaging and correctly typos.  It should be released in a couple of days, but documentation always takes longer than one expects. 

So V9.5 won't be in GetIt for several days.  

 

A late compiler change during the beta meant the OverbyteIcsWinnls.pas unit gave a 'can not assign constants error', just need to move a var a couple of lines up the unit,   Otherwise older versions of ICS will probably work provided the latest OverbyteIcsDefs.inc file is used, that was updated for Florence many weeks ago.  

 

Note the package version numbering has jumped from 23 for Delphi 12, to 37 for Delphi 13, so it now matches the compiler version 37.  

 

The status of C++ 13 and ICS is uncertain at the moment.  I have not been able to build Win32 packages in C++ 13 that are OK in C++ 12.3, and which built OK in early betas of C++13.   Maybe the packages need changes for C++ 13, but I am not a C++ developer, so will need assistance from those that actually use C++.   

 

I don't have much hope for C++ Win64x, the problems that prevent it being built in C++ 12.3 don't appear to be fixed in C++ 13.
