| GExperts 1.33 Beta 2 Released
October 30, 2008 |
|
GExperts 1.33 Beta 2 is now available for Delphi 6 - Delphi 2009. This is a stable beta release
that we feel safe recommending to any GExperts users. There is a new tool that allows you to temporarily hide non-visual components
on forms, in addition to the previously-announced features such as a more powerful regular expression syntax, unicode grep search/replace support,
etc. Note that there are a few areas where the unicode support is not complete (class browser, procedure list, to do list, etc.), but
this should not prevent basic usage of those tools. See the Readme.txt for a full list of changes and notes on
this release. We welcome your comments or bug reports using the feedback wizard in the about box.

| GExperts 1.33 Beta 1 for Delphi 2009
September 30, 2008 |
|
GExperts 1.33 Beta 1 is available with support for Delphi 2009. This is a beta release
intended mainly for people willing to test Delphi 2009 and unicode support, which is not yet complete.
Some areas such as the Code Librarian, Favorite Files, Source Export, Component Grid, Tab Order,
and the other tools that are not text-centric should have fairly complete unicode support.
There are still some problems with the grep search when jumping to matches in unicode files, the grep replace feature,
and source code parser that lack full unicode support (this affects the procedure list, class browser, etc.). The
Readme.txt is available and lists the other changes, including a more powerful
regular expression syntax. Please report any bugs using the bug reporting wizard in the about box. If you are
interested in helping our team to help complete the Delphi 2009 support, please join our development mailing list.

| GExperts 1.32 with RAD Studio 2007 Support
September 11, 2007 |
|
GExperts 1.32 has been released with new support for RAD Studio 2007.
This release also contains some other minor changes and bugfixes. See the
Readme.txt file for full details. If you are instaling under
Windows Vista, you should install as an administrator. You can then register the GExperts plugin DLL for any
non-administrative user using the GExperts Expert Manager in the start menu. Vista users should also make sure
you have configured GExperts to store its data files in a directory you have write access to, such as
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\GExperts\Delphi 2007 (the default for new installations). To change this
location, navigate in the IDE to GExperts, Configuration, File Locations.

| GExperts 1.31 with Delphi 2007 Support
April 7, 2007 |
|
GExperts 1.31 has been released with new support for Delphi 2007.
This release contains some minor bugfixes and allows you to resize/enhance
some of the IDE's dialogs. See the
Readme.txt file for full details. If you are instaling under
Windows Vista into a directory that you do not have general write access to, you should navigate in the IDE to
GExperts, Configuration, File Locations and set the GExperts storage directory to a writeable directory such as
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\GExperts\Delphi 2007.

FinalBuilder 5
November 1, 2006 |
|
Thank you to the FinalBuilder developers for
donating a copy of
FinalBuilder 5 to us. We have a fairly
complex build/release process that involves
several IDE versions and FinalBuilder has made
builds much easier and more reliable.

editor macro templates, the ability to set default properties
for any component, setting of component properties before
compiling, new tools to quickly search for and open
any file, a code alignment helper, automatic rule-based
renaming of components, and much more powerful and robust
component search and replace. |

errors. GExperts 1.22 works
around this bug and fixes a few other smaller issues
reported against GExperts 1.21. See the Readme.txt
for full details. |

Best Free Delphi Utility/Plugin
July 30, 2004 |
|
GExperts was recently voted the best free Delphi utility/plugin
by the French web site developpez.com.
We appreciate the support of our users, especially since
we were competing with so many other great developer
tools such as Inno
Setup, Firebird,
and ESS-Model.

July 28, 2004
|
|
GExperts 1.2 Beta 5 is now available.
This should be the final beta before we release GExperts
1.2. Despite the beta tag, this version has proven stable
enough that any interested users are encouraged to try
it out. |
|
| GExperts 1.2 Beta

June 11, 2004

for Delphi 5/6/7/8 and C++Builder 6. It contains some
minor bugfixes compared to Beta 2, but no new features.

| GExperts 1.2 Beta
2 and Data Conversion from 1.1
May 14, 2004 |
|
GExperts 1.2 Beta 2 is now available
for Delphi 5/6/7/8 and C++Builder 6. It fixes some minor
bugs reported against the Beta 1 release but includes
no new features. The Readme.txt
file describes the changes from GExperts 1.12 and details
some limitations when running under Delphi 8. Though
this is a beta release, it has proven stable during
our testing. There is also a new data
conversion utility to translate the GExperts 1.1
Favorite Files, Code Proofreader, and Code Librarian
data files to the new GExperts 1.2 file formats. Please
report any issues you encounter using the feedback wizard
in the GExperts about box. |
|
| GExperts 1.2 Beta
1
March 11, 2004
|
|
GExperts 1.2 Beta 1 is now available
for Delphi 5/6/7/8 and C++Builder 6. This release includes
many exciting new features as outlined in the Readme.txt
file. Support for Delphi 8 absolutely requires
the newly-released Delphi 8 IDE Update Pack 2,
and is only partial due to new language features and
several limitations/bugs in the Delphi 8 Open Tools
API (be sure to read the limitations section of Readme.txt
for complete details). Please report any bugs using
the feedback wizard in the GExperts about box. Also
note that this is a beta test release and is not intended
for production use. |
|
| C#Builder Open Tools API
July 14, 2003
|
|
Open Tools API programmers might be interested in reading
an article on the new .NET
Open Tools API in C#Builder and some the changes
since Delphi 7. It is similar to the Delphi/C++Builder
Open Tools API, but there are some omissions and new
additions. Note that GExperts itself does not currently
support C#Builder, since Borland has not released a
Delphi compiler that can create C#Builder compatible
packages. |
|
| GExperts 1.2 Development
In Progress
June 18, 2003
|
|
The GExperts developers are hard at work adding features
and fixing bugs for the GExperts 1.2 beta releases.
If you want to contribute by testing, making suggestions,
or writing code, please see the Developer
FAQ and the development discussion mailing
list. In the works are an improved version of the
IDE code templates (called Macro Templates), automatic
component renaming rules, multi-file search and replace,
and enhancements to all of the existing GExperts tools.

|
| GExperts 1.12
is ready for download, with support for
Delphi 7 and some minor bugfixes as detailed in the Readme.txt
file. This version includes some updates over the version included
on the Delphi 7 companion CD, so everyone is encouraged to update

February
19, 2002
|

|
|

23, 2002
|

has been released for Delphi 5 and Delphi
6. This version fixes all of the bugs reported during the pre-release
phase and we recommend all users upgrade. The changes since GExperts
1.01 are described in the Readme.txt file.

there is a new page detailing how to donate
money or software.

28, 2001
|
| The fourth pre-release
of GExperts 1.1 is available for download
for Delphi 5 and Delphi 6. The latest changes are described in the
Readme.txt file. This release should be
stable enough for all supported users of GExperts 1.01 to upgrade.
Due to the amount of email I get concerning GExperts, please send
all feedback using the feedback wizard in the GExperts about box
or via the mailing lists, instead of sending it directly to me.

September
18, 2001

of GExperts 1.1 for Delphi 5 Enterprise and Delphi 6 Pro/Enterprise
is available for download. Note that
the compiler-assisted correction in the Code Proofreader (which many
people use to correct the case of identifiers) is not supported under
Delphi 6. See the Readme.txt file for a
list of recent changes. Please send any bug reports or comments to
the discussion
mailing list.
|
|
| Delphi 6 Support
June
13, 2001
|
| Support for
Delphi 6 will not be available for GExperts 1.01 because of compatibility
issues with the new IDE and lack of resources. We expect a beta release
of GExperts for Delphi 6 based on the in-development 1.1 source code
and the new Open Tools API in about 3 months, so please be patient.
If you are interested in helping with the development and testing
of GExperts 1.1, please join the development
mailing list.
|
|
| GExperts 1.01 Released
June
5, 2001

file.

| Delphi Informant Review
May
11, 2001
|
| The Delphi
Informant magazine has published a review of GExperts. Non-subscribers
can read
the review online: Clay Shannon says "GExperts is a programmer's
dream: It's an array of useful experts that work well and save you
time. They're also visually pleasing... GExperts exhibits the perfect
combination of ease of use and power - certainly a good fit for Delphi
in that regard. Additionally, the price is right - it's a free download."
