LMD 2024 Minor releases: LMD 2024 History

General

Support for IDEs and operating systems

Major change:

• Supports any Delphi/C++Builder VCL release version XE2 or better (including new Delphi/C++Builder 12).
• 64bit support for all releases!
• Supported IDEs
  • Delphi XE2 and better
  • C++ Builder XE2 and better
  • All corresponding RAD Studio Products (XE2, XE3, XE4 etc.)
• Supported operating systems
  • Windows 7 and better

For recent Delphi/C++Builder releases LMD VCL package support same platforms as the VCL which is included in the IDE. [Top]

Installers

• New universal installer for all LMD products. For a limited time installers with old installer technology will be provided in parallel.
• Demo projects are now stored in commpon documents folder (not in main folder like in previous releases)
• Registered versions: If no license file is found, you can now pick up a valid license file from within the installers
• All component installers are now dual signed with SHA1/SHA2 certificate.
  

[Top]

64bit support

All packages were ported to 64bit. Exception: Compatibility controls (dcllmdlegacy) can not be used in 64bit applications.
[Top]

Package naming conventions

Since LMD VCL 2012 package names have been changed to be more consistent with VCL naming convention. LMD version number and IDE version number were removed from package names. Runtime package names are prefixed now with "lmdrt", design-time package names with "dcllmd". Some examples of generated package file names are: lmdrtdocking.dcp, lmdrtdocking.bpi, lmdrtdocking.lib, dcllmddocking.dcp, dcllmddocking.bpi, dcllmddocking.lib. IDE version suffix is still included in generated "bpl", e.g. lmdrtdocking_260.bpl for Delphi 10.3 Rio.

This change simplifies porting projects (supposed they are compiled with run-time packages) to another IDE version. Since package references contain neither IDE version nor LMD platform version, migrating to a future IDE version requires almost no changes.
[Top]

LMD 2024 DevUtil

The DevUtil tool was updated (e.g. with Delphi/C++Builder 12 support) and improved. It is now easier than ever to switch between different workspaces (sets of component packages), even leaving the current IDE is no longer required!
[Top]

NG packages now integrated into LMD VCL line

NG packages are now integrated into the LMD VCL line, e.g. the new NG Drag&DropPack is included in LMD-Tools/ElPack/IDE-Tools, which simplifies Drag&Drop operations within but also outside your projects enormously. [Top]

LMD 2024 Reg Utility

Since 2016 release NG Controls uses same license scheme like LMD VCL product line. Thus you can review on your machine available licenses for both LMD VCL and NG products via the RegUtility. Since version 2013 RegUtility installer copies all files to the %APPDATA%\LMD Innovative folder (instead of system folder in previous releases). As known from previous releases the new reg utilities recognize earlier license files (regardless whether they are stored in system or appdata folder), so that only one reg utility is required for current and previous licenses. Since 2020 release this tool is optional and might be removed in one of the future release. All new installers ask for license location when no license can be found in license folder. [Top]

Free access to Git repositories for LMD VCL Complete

We moved our sources to new git-based project structure. All VCL Complete 2024 customers receive free access to the Git repositories (based on GitLab). Visit your customer area and use the displayed link in your 2024 license to connect to GitLab. SSO with credentials for customer area is supported). Check also Quick overview for more info. [Top]

New subscription model and new customer area

We received some criticism for our old update policy (especially observing the very fast Embarcadero release cycle and our yearly updates).
Old update policy included free minor updates with same major version number - until next major release was available. We offered only for VCL Complete packages subscription models.
Following changes were introduced with 2016 licenses:

• Each full- or update purchase includes now a one year subscription (free-of-charge)
  

This one-year subscription refers to major version updates. If a new major version is released within subscription period, you'll receive automatically new version free of charge. VCL Complete customers will receive even fully new LMD VCL products released in subscription period.

• Minor updates with same major version number are handled like before:
  

These updates are always free of charge for all major (products LMD-Tools, ElPack, IDE-Tools, etc.) and standalone packs. These updates are placed in our protected download areas and can be downloaded free of charge - anytime (using your registration utility).

• What happens when subscription expires?
  

Subscription period refers only to the right receiving free major version updates.
If your subscription expires, your licenses behaves like before (free minor updates until next major release, perpetual use of the current license).

• How to renew
  

Renewals for existing licenses will be applied as extension period to the end of your previous subscription (for example, if your subscription expires 11-Dec-2016, renewing will give you updates until 11-Dec-2017). If your existing subscription has been expired for over three months, you will receive major updates for at least 9 months from the date of renewal. Please note that the term “subscription period” refers to major updates only. As usual product licenses never expire, minor updates with same major version number are always included free of charge and so on.

• Will I receive notification mails to renew?
  

We send you notification emails before subscription expires. If you don’t want to receive them, check your profile page and uncheck option “I want to receive mails about my licenses expiration”.

• Early renewal discounts and update pricing
  

We honour early renewals. Check your profile page to receive personal offers. Within one year (after subscription period expired) you can renew your subscription for a special renewal rate. After that standard price applies. Upgrade orders (from pre-2016 releases) as known before (to start initial subscription period) will be possible until end of 2016.
To reflect new changes we introduced a new customer area, where customers can review and check license status at one single place.

Package Changes

NG HTML

Among other improvements the following new HTML controls has been introduced:

• TNGHTMLButton
• TNGHTMLCheckBox
• TNGHTMLRadioButton
• TNGHTMLGroupBox
• TNGHTMLCheckGroup
• TNGHTMLRadioGroup
• TNGHTMLComboBox

The controls are described in more details below.

HTML engine enchancements

HTML engine has been drammatically improved. Many minor bugs, such as wrong text layouting or coloring have been fixed. Parsing and layouting performance has been greatly optimized, including text wrapping performance. All controls now support common concepts like horizontal and vertical content alignment, word wrapping, and more.

Content alignment now is performed relative to maximum available content space and respects multiline and wrapped text. Different controls provide different default values for horizontal and vertical alignment, which is more consistent with respective controls nature. For example, HTML label control aligns HTML content to top-left by default, while button and panel controls align content to the center in both horizontal and vertical directions. List box, combo box and header controls align items content to the left in horizontal direction, and to the center in vertical direction.

Images support has been improved a lot. 32-bit semi-transparent images are now supported. Global image cache has been introduced to speedup image processing. The cache stores all images, including images loaded from files, which prevent them from been reloaded multiple times. The cache also stores custom images provided via OnGetImage events. ClearImageCache function can be used to force the engine to reload all images on next content update.

New verical image align feature has been added. Using valign attribute images, as well as input elements and embedded VCL controls, can be aligned vertically relative the text on the same line. Valign attribute supports the following values:

• middle (default)
• top
• bottom
• baseline

The default value is middle, which is usefull for small images like icons or emojis, for check box or radio button input items or small-height VCL controls, like TEdit.

Content coloring has been improved. Default content colors for disabled controls are now match the corresponding themed (OS or VCL Styles) colors. In case text color has been redefinied in HTML, it will be blended with gray color to provide more consistent disabled look:

Separate (slightly different) default color for links which looks nice with dark VCL styles has been introduced:

Embedded VCL controls support has been reworked. Embedded controls are allowed only in HTML label, panel or view controls. In all other controls the support has been disabled for convenience (control tag will be skipped silently). Embedded controls can be aligned vertically relative to the line text using valign attribute just like images.

Control placeholders are shown at design-time instead of real controls:

Unordered and ordered lists support has been improved. Mulilevel lists with the correct indentation and numbering has been implemented. Unicode char based bullets with scaling and anti-aliasing is now used. Different bullets are used for different list levels.

The engine provides simplified support for sub/sup text. Text line height calculation and text vertical shift is calculated based on the current item font, not on the previous item font. Items, like images or controls ignore sub/sup status.

The engine now supports line gaps more correctly, and does not add a gap above the first line. NGHTMLDrawDebugLines global variable can be set to True to draw debug line separators.

[Top]

Design-time HTML editor

Design-time HTML editor look and feel has been updated, minor bugs has been fixed. Improvements include new toolbar icons, IDE themes support, and simple rich-edit based (TOM) syntax highlighting. Updated list of HTML fragments includes new features, like vertical align for images. For convenience, the editor can be canceled by pressing Escape key. Modified HTML text can be applied using Ctrl+Enter key press.
