DCPCrypt for 64 bits is here

The best library for encryption and decryption in delphi and lazarus is working in 64 bits now (Only in lazarus/fpc, while embarcadero don't release a 64 bits compiler).

Thanks to the amazing work of David Barton, library creator, we can get enc/dec at faster speeds using 64 bits.

You can download it here

Thanks David!

Enjoy!

Edited: The project is now hosted in lazarus-ccr project. a unique code builds on both,32 and 64 bits. I dont tested the lazarus-ccr code.

Happy New Year! FPC 2.4.0 is here!

From the lazarus list, Marco van de Voort annouce:

"Happy New Year!

As a special present, we have placed a new major release of the Free Pascal
Compiler, version 2.4.0 on our ftp-servers.

Changes that may break backwards compatibility are documented at:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.0

Downloads are available at:

the main FTP server at

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.0/

Is the most delphi compatible version EVER! Great news for delphi developers needing Mac Os and Linux targets.
