Version History

Version 1.0.45

• Added: New options 'Delphi2005Win32' and 'Delphi2005DotNet' as Delphi version, to enable custom search paths and setting the proper define symbols for these.
• Fixed: Bug when extracting icons from resource files having non-bitmap resources.
• Improved: Made the parser code handling directives more robust (some D2005 code brought problems to the old version of the parser)
• Fixed: Handling of 'inline' directive

Version 1.0.44

• Modification: Improved support for context sensitive help from the Delphi IDE by increasing the number of A-keywords, and by including every A-keyword into the generated .als file

Version 1.0.43

• Added: New compiler option 'Delphi 8 for .NET'
• Modification: The parser now accepts visibility specifiers strict private and strict protected. The new specifiers are not given any special treatment, 'strict private' and 'strict protected' are handled as 'strict' and 'protected', respectively.
• Modification: Support for the experimental directive. The directive is not given any special attention beyond being accepted by the parser.
• Modification: Support for class constructors.

Version 1.0.42

• Fixed: Previously some HREFs in <A> elements got translated wrong in HTML output. MailTo-links would end up getting an extra '.htm' extension. Another algorithm has now been employed to decide whether to add an .htm extension to HREF values in <A> elements.
• Added: Editor charset global setting. See Setting Editor Charset
• Fixed: <Returns> and <Exceptions> tags within a <Routine> tag are now allowed.
• Improved: Surfaced the 'reintroduced' directive in the template language/model and added 'Reintroduce' images to the default templates.
• Fixed: Problem parsing the 'deprecated' directive related to constants.
• Fixed: Some constructs which was marked as 'deprecated' via the D6 (and later) directive wasn't marked as @deprecated in the output.
• Improved: Added 'readonly' marker to read-only properties in HTML output (in class/interface overviews)
• Added: Class attribute on <A> elements, to enable custom CSS styling on A elements in HTML output.
• Improved: Removed a confusing (and harmless) 'suspicious' log entry.

Version 1.0.41

• Helpfile splitted into two files, to counter a WinHelp K-Link bug, and because it is otherwise convenient to us.
• Added two new properties to the HTML Help Output Engine:
  
  1. "Enable Full Text Search" - to turn on full text search (enables the 'Search' tab)
  2. "Include keywords for properties, methods and events (in main index)"
  
• Improved: T2H's own help file.
• Added: F1 help links from Inspector-based properties related to output settings, project settings and global configuration.
• Added: F1 help links for tag-names from XML-editor.
• Fix: <a href="idh_glossary#thing">thing</a> got translated into <a href="idh_glossary#thing.htm">thing</a>. Now gets properly translated into <a href="idh_glossary.htm#thing">thing</a>
• Fix: Delphi for .NET unit names in HTML output
• Fix: Delphi 7 units with resourcestrings marked with the 'deprecated' directive now supported.
• Fix: In HTML Help output, when Default Topic Type = 'Custom', an '.htm' extension is now added to Custom Default Topic, if no '.htm' or '.html' extension already present.
• Fix: Problem with handling 'deprecated' directive for routines and methods fixed.
• Modification/Fix: .NET related. Added support for units with qualified/hierarchic names, like 'Borland.Delphi.SysUtils'. Also some modifications as to what is recognized as a valid qualified identifier, now keywords are allowed within (but not at the start) of a qualified identifier, in order to allow identifiers like 'System.Object', 'System.Type' etc.
• Fix: In-topic links (used in topics for overloaded routines/methods), were translated by T2H into a string containing a hcrtf-invalid character (#), meaning hcrtf ignored them. Now another sequence of "magic" characters is used.
• Feature: Added ability to automatically list components (and their properties, methods and events) in Table of Contents.
• Fix: Links to components in library overview were broken. (output template fix)
• Modification/Fix: Types for overrided properties are now included in the output when the property type is found in an ancestor class (typically in a TMyCustomComponent and TMyComponent setting, with publication of properties in the latter, of properties introduced by the former)
• Modification: Handling of formal parameters to routines/methods changed. (This is mostly related to handling of overloading). Changed how methods are matched together in interface and implementation section. Added updating of Params in routines/methods in UnitDoc files.
• Fix: DocComment for first item in the interface section after the unit declaration could in special situations wrongly end up as the DocComment for the unit itself.
• Modification: Migrated internal Table of Contents structures (as well as topic keywords) to an interface based structure instead of a class/object based one. This was to make it possible for (future) addins to access this structure (typically to build custom TOCLinkGenerators).
• Modification: Added possibility to specify location of global category file.
• Fix: Added 'packed' keyword to packed classes. (output template fix).
