cefHtmlSnapshot 0.7.100 has been released

cefHtmlSnapshot 0.7.100 release is now available on the cefHtmlSnapshot repository.

This version uses CEF 100.0.23 which includes Chromium 100.0.4896.127, and is recommended for production, as it fixes multiple zero-day issues being actively exploited.

The bundled turbojpeg is updated to 2.1.3, though only to keep up as none of the security and fixes issues applied here.

Finally this version disables the Back/Forward cache, which may not have any effect, but was unnecessary.

DWScript compatible with Delphi 11.1

Just downloaded and installed Delphi 11.1, and all the unit tests passed without a glitch. So I can announce that DWScript is compatible with Delphi 11.1 for Win32 and Win64! You can find links to all the Delphi 11.1 release details on Marco’s blog.

In other news, the tip of the DWScript repository is considered stable, but a round of core changes were made a few days ago. The last stable state just before the round of changes can be found in the DWScript Releases on the GitHub mirror. The next round of changes likely be able to will rip out the stack from the engine, and transition to closures.

Cosmetic upgrades to DelphiCodeCoverage

After rediscovering DelphiCodeCoverage, I had made a few cosmetic and functional upgrades to its HTML Report.
I have now pushed a few more rounds of upgrades for better looks and usability. In case they are not merged or you want to test run future changes, you can check my fork of the repo, though for stability stick to the official repository maintained by ekot1.

Here is a visual summary of the changes, form original state to current one. (more…)

Spotlight on Date/Time parsing and formatting

As a bunch commits were just made, it is a good opportunity for a spotlight on dwsDateTime and TdwsFormatSettings.

The class was initially born out of two needs:

to properly handle per-script date FormatSettings, with multiple scripts running in the same or different threads.
to have date formatting and parsing be unambiguously based on the date format string.
