#5 Delphi XE+ fix (ShortDateFormat)

[Michael Justin]

ShortDateFormat is no longer available in newer Delphi versions. To fix the compiler errror:

• download a newer version of iedi.inc from https://github.com/project-jedi/jedi/blob/master/jedi.inc
• place the new jedi.inc in the Log4D source folder

change line 2211 in Log4D.pas to

SetOption(DateFormatOpt, 
  {$IFDEF DELPHIXE_UP}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}ShortDateFormat);

or (with Free Pascal support):

procedure TLogCustomLayout.Init;
begin
  inherited Init;
  SetOption(DateFormatOpt,
    {$IFDEF DELPHIXE_UP}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}
    {$IFDEF FPC}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}
    ShortDateFormat);
end;

I would consider changing the name of the IFDEF variable to the feature instead of the version, and set the versions that support that feature in the .inc file:

SetOption(DateFormatOpt, 
  {$IFDEF SUPPORTS_FORMATSETTINGS}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}ShortDateFormat);
