Delphi Known IDE Packages Manager updated to Delphi 10.2
A while ago, after my post on Known IDE Packages in Delphi I wrote a the KnownIdePackagesManager tool which lists those packages, allows to disable and enable some of them and also set the package description for those packages that don't have a meaningful description (usually "(Untitled)").

Delphi Custom Container Pack updated for Delphi 10.2
I just updated the Custom Container Pack sources to support Delphi 10.2. It was mostly a matter of creating the packages for the "new" version. I also used the latest version of the Delphiversions.inc file. It now compiles and installs. I have not tested it extensively.

Configuring FTDI USB serial converters
USB serial converters from FTDI are quite popular. We also use them at work quite a lot because they do not have the problem of the competing products (like Prolific): Windows does not detect devices on them as Microsoft ball point devices.

Hello world!
I managed to mess up my blog. The content is still there, but all the screenshots are missing since apparently they are not part of the export. Fortunately my hoster 1&1 makes a daily backup of my webspace which is stored for 6 days, so I could restore the pictures. (After praising them, let me … Continue reading Hello world!

The GExperts Macro Library expert can now display and edit keyboard macros that have been recorded in the Delphi IDE.
