I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.15. It now recognizes the .dproj-version 20.3 as Delphi 12.3.

Unfortunately version 1.0.13 of dzBdsLauncher had a bug when called with a Delphi 2007 .dproj file: It correctly detected (or rather assumed) Delphi 2007 but then said it could not detect the Delphi version. That bug is now fixed in the version 1.0.14.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.13. If it detects more than one possible Delphi version from the available project information it now checks which of them are installed if only one is installed, it starts this version. If more than one is installed, it asks the user.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.12. It now shows an error message, if it is called with a .dpr file parameter but cannot find a corresponding .dproj, .bdsproj or .dof file.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.11. The only change is support for detecting .dproj files created by Delphi 12 (these have a ProjectVersion of 20.1).

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.9. If started with a .bdsproj file, it will now not just assume that a .dpr file must exist but will check for it and if it does not exist, will try for a .dpk file.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.8. It now, in addition to the already existing checks, will also examine the full filename of a .groupproj file for hints on the Delphi version. E.g. it will correctly determine the following file names to mean Delphi 2009: UnitTestsGrp_BDS2009 UnitTestsGrp_D2009 UnitTestsGrp_Delphi2009 UnitTestsGrp_RS2009 It also examines the directories that contain the … Continue reading dzBdsLauncher 1.0.8 released →

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.7. The only change is support for detecting .dproj files created by Delphi 11 (these have a ProjectVersion of 19.3).

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.6. The only change is support for detecting .dproj files created by Delphi 10.4.2 (these have a ProjectVersion of 19.2).

I revisited my dzBdsLauncher tool again - no idea why, it just occurred to me 😉 - and added quite a few improvements: It now supports .dof (Delphi 6 and 7) and .bdsproj (Delphi 2005 and 2006) files. In addition to the previous checks it now also looks at the disabled packages list to determine … Continue reading dzBdsLauncher 1.0.5 released with major improvements →
