Interesting, I'm planning it since last year as well, namely in the IPv6/FireMonkey beta branch and while porting ICS to XE2 64-bit. What are your actual plans except abandon support for older compilers? > Being unable to use any features added to Delphi in the last 10 years > is very restricted.

Abandon Delphi 7 support was just stupid unless someone rewrites ICS to take full advantage of the new and powerful language features at the same time, sorry ( I won't be the guy doing this ). Actually the tweaks required to get current ICS compiled from D7 up to latest RAD Studio version are **very minor** (oh, this property StrictDelimiter doesn't exist in D7? **come on**). BTW: Indy still supports D5! Taking into account that many of the new language features can't be used without problems before XE/2010 (because of bugs), it makes *no sense* at all to abandon D7 if at the same time support for D2007 is kept. It would make sense though to start a _new version from *scratch*, such an incarnation of ICS ;) would then of course support only XE+ or maybe D2010+, is that your plan? -- Arno > > -- > > francois.pie...@overbyte.be > > The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare > > The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) > > http://www.overbyte.be -- 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
