MapFileStats v1.3 update
My small MapFileStats utility has been updated to 1.3 (last public release was four years ago…).
The utility provides simple statistics about compiled size, to help you figure out what went into your executable.
This version add as few minor features and improves detection of project file, which could result in missing DFM size.
Time-stepping for Games and Simulations
The built-in time-stepping support for the upcoming release of Moving hosts – part 2 – CloudFlare
I’ve now enabled CloudFlare as CDN, is it all it’s hyped up to be? Here is a small unscientific poll to give your feeling on how or if it affected the perceived speed of this website.
Moving to new host(s)
This is just a quick notice to let you know that I’ve recently moved this site to a new host (currently pulseheberg), and may move it to other hosts. My previous hosting was running out, and I’m taking this as an opportunity to experiment with various VPS offerings (Linux or Windows), change registrar, tweak DNS, etc.
Hopefully nothing will go wrong and it’ll be transparent, but if not, please let me know.
SmartMobile Studio Free for educational purposes
As posted on Google+, Smart Mobile Studio is now free for educational purposes.
The Pascal Programming for Schools website had already been updated sometime ago with samples and tutorials about getting started with Smart, and is a significant online resource for teaching Pascal in general, not just Smart.
Pascal for Work – Poll results
I’ve closed the mini-pool, below are the results, obtained after 500 respondents, as well as some other stats not obviously evident from the poll results (as it was a multi-choice poll).*
They’re of course only relevant as the measurement to the audience of this site.
(more…)
Which Pascal environments do you use for WORK?
…or at Work if your prefer.
This is a small poll to gauge the audience of this site,, try to answer about the environments you use for production, not for experimenting, testing or fiddling.
If you use several version, feel free to check as many entries as you feel are relevant.
DWScript now supports Delphi XE5
DWScript SVN version will now compile and run under XE5.
There is only one gotcha due to an XE5 regression.
Updated DWSWebServer precompiled binary
The DWS Web Server pre-compiled binary has been updated, it is now packaged in an InnoSetup installer, comes with SQLite 3.8.0.2 and other changes (see below).
The installer is still rather simple, but includes command files for service installataion/uninstallation, link to online documentations and an uninstaller. The previous Getting Started guide still applies, but is thus simplified.
