Package naming convention
Sinde 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 contained only in generated "bpl": lmdrtdocking_160.bpl.
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 will require no changes.

AnyLogger Source Code
Until now the LMD AnyLogger Console was a free logging client for LogTools library and registered LMD users (if you did not use it yet: Visit your personal download area and get this handy tool. A small Tutorial is available on public wiki). The executable remains free, but on user request we made the full sourcecode of the application available for purchase (see [blog entry]).
New LMD 2012 Subscription SVN user can request free source license for internal use (without support) after first official release from sales@lmd.de.
