DEC (Delphi Encryption Compendium) has a new home

[TurboMagic 91]

Hello,

 

this is the notice that DEC (Delphi Encryption Compendium) has a new home.

The GitHub repository has been transferred to me by the previous maintainer as
he no longer found the time to work on it and I was the main developer since a
few years already anyway.

 

The new URL is:

https://github.com/MHumm/DelphiEncryptionCompendium

 

This transfer also makes it a bit more likely that the V6.0 which is still in the works
will be released in the near future.

 

Best regards

TurboMagic

Hi!

 

One glaring omission in the readme is algorithm support. 

I think this is incredibly important to help decide what to do 😄 

[TurboMagic 91]

Confident now?

 

Remember: this is an open source project so could have implemented the proposed addition of readme.md yourself and
either turned it in as issue or created a pull request.

 

Another possible answer would have been: look at the source Luke! 😉

Oh and to help your decision what to do: participate in this nice project!

Look at missing algorithms and how to implement them so they fit to the architecture or create some more unit tests and turn them in...

There's a lot you can do to help! 😉

The first point of entry is the readme. If the readme doesn't convince a potential user then I'm pretty sure they won't bother with the source. We're all busy.

 

Why should you care? Because more users means more people that are likely to contribute.

My own personal logic would be: author doesn't support minimal readme and description => he is very lazy => project will be very poorly maintained => I'll better look for another one.

No activity in the repository. Open pull requests. Is there an alternative? What is currently the best choice for cryptography under Delphi?

IMHO, last month doesn't really qualify for no activity. It is side project for someone with a full-time job at last.
