tiOPF3 is still "experimental" as far as I know. I haven't worked on
tiOPF3 branch at all. The best people to ask would be Jarrod or Peter
H, as they have been working on that code. Their goal with tiOPF3 was
to get rid of legacy code (like removing support for older Delphi
versions), and making it Unicode compliant.

Most tiOPF contributors seem to have disappear over the last year or
so.... or tiOPF2 just works perfectly for them. ;-)

If you want to send patches for tiOPF3, I am more than willing to
apply them - I just have no way of testing them though. With patch
contributions, tiOPF3 could at least become a working version.

Please don't use the binary installer, it is from many many years
back. We stopped making binary releases and prefer using the latest
code from the repository instead.

I would imagine you have two options:

1) Try the latest tiOPF2 from the repository with Delphi 2009. If you
get errors (I honestly don't know if there are), post those exact
errors to mailing list or news group. Or if you can simply supply me
with a patch, that would be much appreciated. I've been out of touch
with Delphi for many years, so I don't know everything that has
changed since D7, and want could be incompatible in tiOPF2 in that
regard.

2) Alternatively, supply patches for tiOPF3 to get it into a working
state, even if the ultimate goal of tiOPF3 is not met... ie: ignoring
Unicode support for now.

With option (1) I can at least help and verify that things are
working. I still run the daily builds using FPC 32bit and 64bit
compilers - it's just the posting to the build status reports that are
currently disabled on our server. I can say that tiOPF2 is very stable
at the moment and it is constantly tested on the build server, and we
use it daily in a production environment. Any major issues will
immediately be detected.

That would be a terrible choice. ;-)


@Jarrod & Peter Hinrichsen,
Any comments on the status of tiOPF3? I know you guys work on a
non-public repository, so maybe tiOPF3 has improved already compared
to what is available on SourceForge?
