[twsocket] ICS-SSL now released as freeware. ICS is ready for Tiburon. Version Control repository for ICS
Here are a few things worth mentionning :-) ICS-SSL === As promised long time ago, ICS-SSL is now going public. It means everybody will have free access to the source code. ICS-SSL is nearly finished. It is already used by more than 150 contributors, many in real commercial application with great success. ICS-SSL would never have happened without all those contributors, among two of them I would like to specially thanks: Arno Garrels and Angus Robertson. Arno has done a really incredible work in designing many parts of ICS-SSL while Angus has done some development and a lot of testing and bug fixing. Of course, I would also thanks developers that contributed financially. Without that money I would not have been able to work as much on the project. The project is not finished ! It will simply now released to the freeware community with the secret hope that a lot of developers will contribute to the development. SSL enabled components are just the regular components with SSL code magically inserted using a conditionla symbol. In short, define use_ssl and suddently your ICS components are enabled for SSL. There are some demos in SslInternet folder. It is not possible to explain everything here. Please use the support mailing list to ask for help. ICS-V7 == Angus Robertson, Arno Garrels and Francois Piette are proud to announce the new ICS-V7 also known as "ICS for Tiburon". Actually you need to have access to Delphi 2009 to use the new unicode features but previous Delphi/BCB versions are still OK of course. V7 is at alpha level and currently efforts are concentrated on Delphi 2009. Basically, ICS-V7 is ICS-V6 with partial unicode support. Currently the components are working mostly as before while using unicode strings. This will allows you to port your current applications to Delphi 2009 and of course write new applications. We hope to fully support unicode soon. We will be happy to have help from any ICS community member. ICS-V6 == This is the version you should use today or at least very soon tommorow. Currently there is a release candidate available for download at www.overbyte.be. ICS-V5 == This is the old version. It is still there to support old applications. Forget it for new one. No new development will take place and migration to ICS-V6 is easy. VERSION CONTROl REPOSITORY == To ease the development, for both ICS and ICS-SSL, there is now a SVN repository. Again, I would like to thanks Arno and Angus who both made it possible. Angus providing the hosting while Arno providing the management. The repository actually contains ICS-V5, ICS-V6 and ICS-V7. The SSL stuff has been merged into the regular ICS code so there is only one code base. The SSL code is compiled when the symbol use_ssl is defined for your project. To access the repository, you need to use a subversion client. For example TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/) which is very good and OpenSource. Once your SVN client is installed, for ICS-V6 you can browse to svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics or for ICS-V5 to: svn://svn.overbyte.be/icsv5 or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/icsv5. ICS-V7 is a part of V6, in ics/branches/icsv7. All use usercode = ics and password = ics for read access. Write access is only available to TeamICS. SVN works by keeping a local development directory in synchronism with the repository directory. TortoiseSVN integrates into Windows Explorer, navigate to the local directory to which ICS will be downloaded, right click in Explorer and take SVN Checkout, enter the URL from above, ensure the local directory is correct and click to download the files. Subsequent changes are found by right clicking in the root and taking SVN Update which will just download anything changed or new. You are really welcome to participate in the development and submit your fixes and changes. To do so, simply use TortoiseSVN "diff file" facility and make your changes available somewhere and announce it in the support mailing list (or mail it to one of TeamICS member). If you need help, please use the support mailing list.

thats great. is it possible to use ssl and non-ssl at the same time? i.e. for a pop3 client that can connect to a aecure and a nonsecure server ? > Here are a few things worth mentionning :-) > > ICS-SSL > === > As promised long time ago, ICS-SSL is now going public. > It means everybody will have free access to the source code. > ICS-SSL is nearly finished.

Hi, Many thanks for this, it will prove useful for many, especially the SVN repository. However, there is one thing that could prove annoying: The repository has been setup on a non standard port via HTTP which means that many users won't be able to access it because of security policies in place at their company. And the same goes for the port the SVN protocol is located on. It might not be possible for you to change this, but I just wanted to make you aware of this problem.

MedEvolve contributed not so long ago. I'm thrilled to see ICS-SSL is now public! Or is it? ;) I'm refreshing our ICS component package, downloading the current files from overbyte.be. I'm assuming that IcsSslSrcV5i.zip should not still be password protected? It is still the same password, so we're OK, but I suspect anyone new to ICS-SSL would have problems. :D -- Jon Robertson Borland Certified Advanced Delphi 7 Developer Good programming is 40% experience, 30% skill, 20% RTFM, 10% caffeine, and 5% attention to detail. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
