As a result of that post, the package managers version has been updated to 7.2.4, but some confusion was created because the Zeos provided .lpk package project files still contain "7.2.0" as version.

The update of said versionnumber should maybe be annotated in some release todo

6.5,7 and 2000 are already out of extended support by MS it seems:

For sql 2000 that date is fairly recent (2013), but the rest is *old*

No idea. Zconnection looks like this: object ZConnection: TZConnection ControlsCodePage = cCP_UTF16 UTF8StringsAsWideField = True Catalog = '' Properties.Strings = ( 'codepage=utf8' 'client_encoding=utf8') HostName = '192.168.186.11' Port = 0 Database = 'candelacrm' User = 'postgres' Password = '' P...

Is it known that tdblookupcombobox has unicode related glitches with Zeos? Or should one always use multiple datasources in such cases? Delphi version: Delphi XE3 (so should be fully unicode). database : postgres 9.x client_encoding=utf8 in connection properties. Zeos versions tested: 7.0.x,7.1.x, a...

I haven't had time to rebuild and test yet, but it might be that another Zeos user (Mr. Do-wan Kim) found and devised a patch for the problem plaguing 2.7.1 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25269 The routine he says he got the crash has the same name as the one I got a crash in iirc. (but then...

@Marcov Yes i've noticed some threads too. Can you tell me what did change in this domain? Also the Parameters seems to be involved inbetween. I think it is simply a compiler bug, which will be found sooner or later. Actually i'm writing a faster Zeos way for the Fields. But this also meens Zeos ha...

Some FPC updates: - FPC 2.6.4 is coming near New Year, with a RC1 within a couple of weeks. I saw that Zeos 7.0.3 still assumed TBookmark changes would become active after 2.6.2, this has been postponed to the next major release (of the 2.7 branch). So the version check tbookmark/trecordbuffer shoul...

We'll probably be exactly the same, with an overload extra here and there. We are studying on the ability to compile something Delphi-old and delphi-unicode from the same source, but the delphi-old stuff will be legacy (and probably die out in time) There was some movement recently, system and sysut...

Note that wince generations have changed, and we are getting mixed signals about FPC compatibility with CE versions after 5. So if there are problems and doubts, first try to get it stable with older (2.4.x or 2.6.x) FPC and CE 5. Unfortunately, the number (and skill) of the reporters is too low to ...

Instead of inttostr use the base primitive VAL() ?

Maybe it would help if you describe what you tried, what failed, and with what errormessage .

A string simply supports full UTF16 unicode.

The average ansistring does not, so the compiler is right that there _could_ be dataloss.

If I look at the projects, Delphi 7+

Lazarus 1.0.8, which is based on FPC 2.6.2 came out today.

I also updated the list of database patches for the next release:

note, the tbookmark changes are for the next major(2.8.0) release, not minor (2.6.4), that goes for other really radical or compatibility breaking features.
