| Upgrades
We finally have released version 2.8 of our
popular "Multimedia Tools" product range for Delphi and C++
Builder.
With this release we fix many smaller bugs and absurdities, we have included
enhanced support for Windows Vista and Windows 7, improved the Mpeg decoder
so it reads all MP3's correctly, added support for enhanced VBR and ID3v2
Tags and so on. For Delphi 2010 we have also reworked the code to support
the new Unicode functionality.
We have nearly all components enhanced or
some of them completely reworked based on your suggestions or during our
own developments.
We did not have the time to write a history of all changes but you can
expect lot's of enhancements and improvements since the last release while
the library is completely code compatible with previous versions. In the
rule you must not rewrite any line of code in your application to interface
with the updated components and controls.
OCX Version 2.5 only:
With this version we also fix some version compatibility problems
of the ActiveX controls you might have encounter between the previous
versions. Because of this we have changed the name of the OCX files for
example to MMToolsX2.OCX and changed all GUID's so any older version of
the controls can coexists with the new version on the same machine. To
make the upgrade of your existing projects possible and easy we have developed
a upgrade tool which will upgrade your existing VB or VC++ project to
the new version with a single button click. We have also changed the method
of protection completely. The old keyfiles will now no longer work because
on some machines and distributions this kind of protection made some problems.
For the new version you will instead receive a unlock code which is included
in your projects initialization part, for VB this is a module MMRegister.bas,
for VC++ a MMRegister.cpp and .h which includes the unlock codes for the
products you have purchased. This makes the registration of the controls
easy and safe and with this kind of protection your application will run
with any future version of the controls without recompiling so the version
problem is finally solved.
Please note that the new ActiveX demos we
have released will work with the new ActiveX version only, they will not
load if the new version is not installed on the development machine
because they use the new GUIDS and OCX names.
The new evalution versions and demo
archives for all supported compilers can be downloaded from our download
page.
For users who have purchased our products
within the last 4 months the upgrades will be free. For other customers
we charge a upgrade fee. Please understand that we don't have the resources
to send the upgrades to all existing customers for free, we have put much
effort in the development of the new version so we hope you will find
it worth the upgrade fee.
