I am a fan of automated builds. I know there are lots of great tools for doing that (e.g. FinalBuilder is mentioned every time this topic comes up in the forums) but since I dont want to pay money for it just to use in my open source projects, I rolled my own. The result … Continue reading Automated builds – DIY

dzlib, my very own utility library
I am probably not the only one who has built his own utility library over the years. Mine is - of course - special because it is superior to all others. 😉 Just in case, somebody else is interested in it, I have put it under the MPL and hosted it on sourceforge. It now … Continue reading dzlib, my very own utility library

GExperts formatter bug fixed, waiting for code sample which made the change necessary
Uli Gerhard found a bug which was introduced in the last version of GExperts. It resulted in code after class declarations in the implementation section to be formatted incorrectly: During the formatting, the space between constructor and TSomeClass.Create was removed which resulted in uncompilable code. I think I found and fixed the problem, but I … Continue reading GExperts formatter bug fixed, waiting for code sample which made the change necessary
Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2012-11-04 released
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

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
Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2012-10-14 released
The latest version is the second version that supports Delphi XE3 (yes, you missed one). Apart from being based on the latest GExperts sources this new version also contains quite a few bug fixes to the formatter which should support nested class declarations. All my existing unit test cases for this work. If it does … Continue reading Experimental GExperts Version 1.37-2012-10-14 released
