XanaNews 1.18.1.9

November 12th, 2007

Get the binary here, get the source here.

Changes:

  • Added Andreas Hausladen RtlVclOptimize.pas, which should provide better performance.
  • Added workaround for possible Access Violations when showing hints on multi-monitor setups, remote desktops or vnc sessions.
  • Added workaround for main form not appearing at all when it was closed minimized.
  • Fix bold/italic/underline highlights not working for first word on a line.
  • Replaced SSL support from OpenSSL to OpenStrSecII. Increases about 1mb executable size, but does not require external DLLs.

I’m particularly interested for feedback on the SSL changes. Unreleased changes, available on subversion history, are the OpenSSL update to the latest version and the fix for potential deadlocks on Indy9 when loading SSL libraries, which have been obsoleted by the OpenStrSecII replacement.

Changes:

  • Built with Delphi 2007 update 3, MainFormOnTaskBar=True, which should mean better Vista support (didn’t test it on Vista though).

  • Added Wolfgang’s patch for subject decoding.
