Marathon / News: Recent posts

At the moment the binary only version has been released. I'm working on getting the source code package available ASAP.

I'm proud to announce the next release of the Marathon 3.x branch. This is an Release Candidate release, as it primarily focuses on bug fixes with little or no new features.

Proceed to the downloads area to get your copy today!

Hi,
The Marathon project has got a new project admin, Ryan Mills the author of rmControls Library (http://www.mills-enterprise.ca/). Because of that, Ryan has deep knowledge of the TrmTreeNonView <-> TrmTreeView combination which is the heart and soul of Marathon.

I will step back from active developing (this is nothing that really hurts the project, because as you all know, I really was not able too help much in the last 2 years due to my job change) and will take on more administrative tasks like web design, doc writing, Want building, forum and tracker work.... read more

Hi all,
first let's welcome our new member Ignacio! He has already helped me to improve the build file (you can now use it offline and online)

Thanks to Ryan, there is a new official rmControls available with all our manual bugfixes. So all developers should update to rmControls to 1.91:

!!Attention:
Please add the following lines to rmKeyBindings.pas, before installing:
initialization
RegisterClass(TrmBindingStorage);... read more

Hi all,
due to a recent job change I was really busy in the last time and haven't got the time to work actively on Marathon.
I plan to start programming Marathon right after my holidays (3rd week of September).

Tilo Muetze

PS: Every help is still greatly appreciated :)

All,
due to a lot of printing engine changes in the last time it was necessary to update the TDatasetPrint component. Please download and install the updated component to successfully compile Marathon:

Thanks and regards,

The download section has been restructured so that we now have two packages:
Binaries
Sources

The 1.5 release and 2.0 Beta are now available in new locations and with new filenames:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gmarathon/Marathon_1.5.0_Rel.zip
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gmarathon/Marathon_2.0.0_Beta.zip

This all was necessary to be compatible with the new naming and tag structure of the future 3.x releases.

All,
1. We have a new website http://gmarathon.sourceforge.net
Please check and post suggestions in the forums.

2. From now on we will make binary and source snapshots available. Please have a look:
http://gmarathon.sourceforge.net/snapshots

3. Our docs section has been updated with the content from http://alanti.net/firebird/marathon and also with a very comprehensive article regrading CVS, SHH setup for SF.... read more

Developers,
All people who want to checkout the originally open-sourced code, please now use "oldsrc" modulename instead of "src".

Thanks and regards,
Tilo Muetze

Developers,
with the greatly appreciated help of Carlos Macao we were able to remove some traps which could be showstoppers for Delphi 5 users. Please also have a look at:
http://www.alanti.net/firebird/marathon/index.html#compiling
If you still have problems with the Delphi 5 compatibility of the components or the sourcecode please let me know.

Tilo Muetze

Developers,
I have created some tasks that should help if you want to contribute.
If you got questions please post them in the developers forum.

Thanks and regards,
Tilo Muetze

So I finally was able to commit the revised sourcecode.
For more informations you can also visit
http://www.alanti.net/firebird/marathon
which should give you a starting point on how-to setup your environment if you want to contribute.

For all interested in a new release, please hold on a little because there are still some issues that first need to be tackled.

Thanks and regards,
Tilo Muetze
