IMPORTANT: This version has a bug that results in uncompilable code under some circumstances. I don't know why nobody reported this, but the October release did not work at all with Delphi XE3 but crashed the IDE. The reason were two problems: Embarcadero changed some properties of TCustomAction to have a setter method which resulted … Continue reading Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2012-11-04 released

gnugettext.pas fixes
I don't know whether anybody else but Lars knows that I have been a contributor to the dxgettext (GnuGettext for Delphi and C++ Builder) project. As such I have just committed fixes to the gnugettext.pas version in the repository that makes it compile with all Delphi versions from 6 to XE3 again. I have only … Continue reading gnugettext.pas fixes
Call for Code Formatter Testcases
As said in my previous blog post, most of my existing test cases for the code formatter now work. But I am sure there are many other cases where it fails miserably. Especially the newer Delphi language constructs will probably highlight many problems. Since I am mostly using Delphi 2007, I might not even be … Continue reading Call for Code Formatter Testcases

What is it with Delphi videos?
I guess I am not the only one who has noticed the trend to publish videos of various types instead of articles. There are interviews, tutorials and whatnot. I understand that it might seem to be the more modern form of publishing stuff, but it has some very annoying drawbacks: It does not allow for … Continue reading What is it with Delphi videos?
Another bug bites the dust in GExperts code formatter
Another bug bites the dust: The unit test case for generic classes no longer fails. This probably means that I broke something else and that other uses of generics still fail. I need more test cases to fix any other problems with generics that might still exist. Please, could somebody who actually uses generics (I … Continue reading Another bug bites the dust in GExperts code formatter
