Nothing fancy added, only bug corrections and minor additions. Please, keep up to date by using Subversion. See the logs there.
Thanks!

We managed to setup a MadiaWiki installation within our SourceForge area.

The link is: http://sil.sf.net/wiki

We are trying to begin the documentation process within this wiki. The process is slow and we are currently overloaded at work, but the interest remains the same.

this testing release is specific for free pascal 2.0 for linux. there is no support for delphi/kylix nor win32.

This is a incremental release. The changes between p15 and this are:

• Firebird API, now it works!! However, blob support is still missing Blob :(
• Data type conversion framework: several missing conversions were implemented, and some readability changes.
• Minor error corrections.
• The Firebird demo now works.
• for extra details see:

Hi, we're back again with new fresh changes, including:

• Changes in Data type conversion framework
• The Firebird API now compiles and works to some extent. The work still continues.
• Minor corrections in several places.
• for extra details, see changelog.txt:

We're disconnected all this months, but we're back again!! And we bring a new release full of new features to you ...

Some of the features included:

• new type cast facility to automatically convert between different datatypes.
• new datagram communication layer which can be used to replace stream communications in places where the performance is a must and the network is reliable,
• new global type registry, from which one can obtain a generic type handler and use it as for various tasks including: specifying container type handling, casting from and to other types, instanciating a new variable of this type, etc.
• various corrections and enhacements
• see the changelog for detailed information of changes between release 03 and 12

This is an incremental release that corrects some minor problems. See details in ./doc/changelog.txt

and enjoy the Sil way!

Corrected Delphi5 compilation problems.
Added some demos and examples.
Added some new aggregation features to base TSilObject.
Corrected some minor bugs.
Some progress porting to linux was done.
New container utility interfaces: test in progress.

Firebird support (beta)

Status:

In Delphi 7.0 all is working good, but there are some pending features.
In other Delphis (5.0 & 6.0) I can't give credit because we can no longer have those.

In Kylix (3.0) the library itself compiles and is functional, but the operating system layer is currently under construction.

This new release has a minor new features and major corrections over the previous one.

See the attached Notes & Changelog.

We're back!!
This is a new release with many inprovements. Many of them are not documented yet, but we're working on this. Yes, we're trying to improve our ocumentation skills.

This release includes:

• new Socket encapsulation.
• a layer of abstraction classes in the OS layer that implements various aspects of common OS to all the OS implementations.
• corrected some bugs in thread encapsulation.
• we started our long way to provide full documentation.

We have built a encapsulation layer upon the RTTI that Delphi5/6 provides.
It began by defining a set of interfaces to represent all the RTTI structures in a more friendly way, and then implementing those interfaces for Delphi 6. We have used some obscure internals, so this implementation is dependent on Delphi's version. But, we have introduces a set of files that is different in every Delphi version, so, at least in theory, all the functionality that is provided by means of this encapsulation will work correctly in all the supported Delphi versions (also including Kylix)... read more

We added a stream tokenizer useful for parsing simple sourcefiles with a simple lexical structure. To use it simply include SilTokenizer in the uses clause, and obtain an instance of it by calling SilTokenizer.Tk.Tokenizer, then fill in the paraameters, and enjoy! :)

This version brings new implementation of internet protocols.
New: ParameterList implementing a simple list of values indexed by a key (Name).
Enhancements in the list's items handlers.
... and many more goodies ... :)

Now SIL includes a simple, but yet powerful, XML parser. It is used inside the library for configuration reading from xml files.

This is the first public version of our library. The current version is stable and usable, but it lacks some features that we are currently working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please, sorry for the lack of documentation, we are trying to write some initial docs to help anyone interested to start as quickly as possible.
