As some of you probably know, our tools are developed with an older version of Delphi. In my opinion, Delphi was always a great development system, the only disadvantage (at least for me) was that Unicode was not supported natively.

In WebSite-Watcher, we had to use third party stuff and many workarounds to get Unicode working, and it was sometimes a tricky and time intensive task. In our other tools, Unicode was not or only partially supported.

Last year, a new version of Delphi with  built-in Unicode support has been released. We are now in the progress to move all our tools to that new compiler to get the advantage of full Unicode support. It is already done for the upcoming versions of WebSite-Watcher 5.1.0, Local Website Archive 3.1.0 and AM-Notebook 5.2.0.

In WebSite-Watcher this meant removing hundreds of workarounds, but as a result we got a much cleaner code and many other advantages in handling web pages.

With that move, we can no longer support Windows 9x/Me/NT, the minimum OS that will be required to use our tools is Windows 2000 or higher.

It was a bit quiet here after my skiing accident in February, but I always worked full time on our tools (except the 5 days I had to stay in the hospital). During the next months I still have to spend approx. 2 hours a day into therapy, but I’m getting better each day.

I’ll start blogging about our tools and current development in a couple of days, so watch this place to get the latest information. Thanks for your patience

We have now successfully tested all our software products under Windows 7 (Build 7000). We installed Windows 7 and our software products in a Virtual Machine where they worked without a problem.
