We are happy to announce the release of kbmMW v. 4.50.00 Beta
Professional and Enterprise Edition with XE6 support. 4.50.00 Beta 1 May 12 2014 New stuff ========= - Added XSD parser support and code generator. A demo is included, showing how the XSD parser is used in combination with the code generator, to generate Pascal objects that kbmMW can use for marshalling to and from objects. - Added CaptureMode to kbmMW RemoteDesktop client/server classes to allow for selecting between GDI and DirectX. Default is GDI. - Added new ViewMode types including mwrdvm_Device to kbmMW RemoteDesktop client/server classes to allow for using the best fitting view mode, compared to the current screen bitdepth on the server end. By using the best fitting view mode, the RemoteDesktop server part use less CPU. - Added support in kbmMW RemoteDesktop to detect if screen capture is to slow to be useful (typically on old graphic cards like Matrox G400 with Hardware accelleration enabled). - Added new kbmMWNullable generic. If you need to define a simple datatype that should be nullable, you can define it as var myInt:kbmMWNullable<integer>; for example. It can be used as any regular variable. Use myInt.IsNull to check if its null. If you have compile error due to conversion problems you can use myInt.Value to access the value directly. - Added new TkbmMWDateTime type to replace TDateTime. It works similar to TDateTime except it is timezone and null aware, and knows if its being used to store a time, a date or a date time value, and thus can provide correct matching string conversion automatically. It supports more than 760 different timezone abbrevations, and has full support for ISO8601 formats. Internally it always store time as UTC with a timezone difference, depending on the chosen timezone. On assigning a TDateTime value to it, it always assumes not timezone given (and thus its UTC). When assigning Now to it, you will want to use the LocalTime property to assign now. Eg. mytime:TkbmMWDateTime; mytime.LocalTime:=Now. By doing so, it will autodetect the appropriate local timezone. - Added new very fast TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray to kbmMWGlobal. Its as the names imply a lock free hash array which stores an integer value with a uint64 key. - Enhanced TkbmMWLock to automatically detect lock escalation, and allow finetuning of spin/sleep time. Tests show that TkbmMWLock is now the fastest implementation of a MREW with lock escalation handling for Delphi/C++Builder. In addition it allows for checking which threads holds which locks at any time, via the kbmMWConcurrentMREWReadLocks hash array. - Added to kbmMWGlobal.pas function kbmMWExpectChars(var APChar:PChar; const AChars:TSysCharSet):boolean; function kbmMWSearchChars(var APChar:PChar; const AChars:TSysCharSet):boolean; function kbmMWSearchDigit(var APChar:PChar):boolean; function kbmMWSearchNonDigit(var APChar:PChar):boolean; function kbmMWGetDateFromWeek(const AYear:integer; const AWeekNo:integer; const ADayInWeek:integer):TDateTime; function kbmMWGetDateFromDayOfYear(const AYear:integer; const ADayOfYear:integer):TDateTime; function kbmMWRoundToPowerOf2( const AValue:integer):integer; function kbmMWMurmurHash3(const AValue:cardinal):cardinal; function kbmMWMurmurHash3(const AValue:int64):int64; function kbmMWDigestToString( const ADigest:TkbmMWDigest256):string; procedure TkbmMWStringBuilder.Append( const AStringBuilder:TkbmMWStringBuilder); - Added function TkbmMWRegisteredTransportStreamList. ControllerClassByID(AID:string): TkbmMWCustomTransportStreamControllerClass; - Added support for multiple statements in SQLite adapter function TkbmMWSQLiteConnection.Query( const AClass:TkbmCustomMemTableClass; const ASQL:string):TkbmCustomMemTable; Only last will however be returned. - Added to kbmMWXML.pas: TkbmMWXMLNativeDataType to handle true native XML datatype understanding. (TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) property ChildrenByName[AName:string]:TkbmMWDOMXMLNodeList read GetChildrenByName; (TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) property ChildrenByID[AName:string]:TkbmMWDOMXMLNodeList read GetChildrenByID; (TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) function GetNativeDataType( AType:string = ''):TkbmMWXMLNativeDataType; (TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) function GetDataTypeName( var ANameSpace:string; AType:string=''):string; (TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) property AttribByNameIsNil[ const AName:string]:boolean read GetAttribByNameIsNil write SetAttribByNameIsNil; - Added support for ftShortint as parameter and field type. - Added support for int64/uint64 versions of CompareAndExchange for pre XE. - Added support for XE6. - Added new HTTP FastCGI able custom service and demo application. Changes/minor additions ======================= - Updated object marshaller (incl. JSON and XML) to support new kbmMWNullable and TkbmMWDateTime types. Internally there have been made many changes to also support objects defined by XSD import. - Dropped own implementation of TkbmMWEvent, and instead aliases TkbmMWEvent to fastest Delphi/C++Builder implementation for given Embarcadero version. - Removed from kbmMWGlobal.pas function kbmMWDateTimeToISO8601String( const AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWISO8601StringToDateTime( const AString:string):TDateTime; function kbmMWDateToISO8601String( const AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWISO8601StringToDate( const AString:string):TDateTime; function kbmMWTimeToISO8601String( const AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWISO8601StringToTime( const AString:string):TDateTime; they have been replaced with TkbmMWDateTime. - Removed from kbmMWXML.pas: function kbmMWXMLTryStringToDateTime(AValue:string; var ADateTime:TDateTime):boolean; function kbmMWXMLDateTimeToString(AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWXMLStringToDateTime(AString:string):TDateTime; function kbmMWXMLDateToString(AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWXMLStringToDate(AString:string):TDateTime; function kbmMWXMLTimeToString(AValue:TDateTime):string; function kbmMWXMLStringToTime(AString:string):TDateTime; Instead use TkbmMWDateTime functionality. - Modified in kbmMWGlobal.pas class function TkbmMWPlatformMarshal.UTF8Decode( const ABytes:TkbmMWBytes; ACount:TkbmNativeInt = -1):string; Added optional ACount. - Made general use of TkbmMWLock and TkbmMWDateTime internally. - Performance optimized XML parser. Large XML files now parses 20-fold faster. (example 165 MB XML now parsed in 7.6 secs. Before parsed in 3.5 minutes) Fixes ===== - Fixed bugs in kbmMWCipherHash.pas: procedure TkbmMWCustomHash.UpdateString(const Str:string); function TkbmMWCustomCipher.EncryptString( const Str:string):string; function TkbmMWCustomCipher.DecryptString( const Str:string):string; function TkbmMWCustomBlockCipher.EncryptString( const Str:string):string; function TkbmMWCustomBlockCipher.DecryptString( const Str:string):string; - Fixed bugs in kbmMWMime.pas: function kbmMWMimeEncodeString(const S:string):string; function kbmMWMimeEncodeStringNoCRLF(const S:string):string; function kbmMWMimeDecodeString(const S:string):string; function kbmMWMimeDecodeString2Bytes(const S:string): TkbmMWBytes; procedure kbmMWMimeEncode(const InputBuffer:TkbmMWBytes; var InputBufferOffset:cardinal; const InputByteCount: Cardinal; var OutputBuffer:TkbmMWBytes; var OutputBufferOffset:cardinal); function kbmMWMimeDecodedSize(const InputSize: Cardinal): Cardinal; - Fixed bug in SQLite adapter when query didnt result in fields. - Fixed function kbmMWEncodingToString( const AEncoding:TEncoding):string; to use correct lowercase encoding names. - Fixed bugs in kbmMWCustomClientMessagingTransport.pas - Fixed multi database operation on user transaction bug. - Fixed compilation for pre XE. - Fixed transport backwards compatibility support. - Fixed client app automatically linking in TkbmMWServer in kbmMW Ent Edition. The Professional and Enterprise Edition is available for all with a current active SAU. If your SAU has run out, please visit our shop to extend it with another 12 months. An earlier version of kbmMW CodeGear Edition is available for free for Delphi XE3/Win32 and includes kbmMemTable CodeGear Edition.
