4.50.00 Sep 10 2014
New stuff
=========
- Added XSD parser support and code generator. A demo is
included, showing how the XSD parser is used in combination
with the code generator, to generate Pascal objects that
kbmMW can use for marshalling to and from objects.
- Added CaptureMode to kbmMW RemoteDesktop client/server
classes to allow for selecting between GDI and DirectX.
Default is GDI.
- Added new ViewMode types including mwrdvm_Device to kbmMW
RemoteDesktop client/server classes to allow for using
the best fitting view mode, compared to the current screen
bitdepth on the server end.
By using the best fitting view mode, the RemoteDesktop server
part use less CPU.
- Added support in kbmMW RemoteDesktop to detect if screen
capture is to slow to be useful (typically
on old graphic cards like Matrox G400 with Hardware
accelleration enabled).
- Added new kbmMWNullable generic. If you need to define a
simple datatype that should be nullable, you can
define it as var myInt:kbmMWNullable<integer>; for example.
It can be used as any regular variable.
Use myInt.IsNull to check if its null. If you have compile
error due to conversion problems you can
use myInt.Value to access the value directly.
- Added new TkbmMWDateTime type to replace TDateTime. It works
similar to TDateTime except it is timezone and null aware,
and knows if its being used to store a time, a date or a date
time value, and thus can
provide correct matching string conversion automatically.
It supports more than 760 different timezone abbrevations,
and has full support for ISO8601 formats.
Internally it always store time as UTC with a timezone
difference, depending on the chosen timezone.
On assigning a TDateTime value to it, it always assumes not
timezone given (and thus its UTC).
When assigning Now to it, you will want to use the LocalTime
property to assign now.
Eg. mytime:TkbmMWDateTime; mytime.LocalTime:=Now. By doing
so, it will autodetect the appropriate local timezone.
- Added new very fast TkbmMWLockFreeHashArray to kbmMWGlobal.
Its as the names imply a lock free
hash array which stores an integer value with a uint64 key.
- Enhanced TkbmMWLock to automatically detect lock escalation,
and allow finetuning of spin/sleep time.
Tests show that TkbmMWLock is now the fastest implementation
of a MREW with lock escalation handling for
Delphi/C++Builder. In addition it allows for checking which
threads holds which locks at any time,
via the kbmMWConcurrentMREWReadLocks hash array.
- Added to kbmMWGlobal.pas
function kbmMWExpectChars(var APChar:PChar;
const AChars:TSysCharSet):boolean;
function kbmMWSearchChars(var APChar:PChar;
const AChars:TSysCharSet):boolean;

const ADigest:TkbmMWDigest256):string;
procedure TkbmMWStringBuilder.Append(
const AStringBuilder:TkbmMWStringBuilder);
- Added function
TkbmMWRegisteredTransportStreamList.ControllerClassByID(
AID:string):TkbmMWCustomTransportStreamControllerClass;
- Added support for multiple statements in SQLite adapter
function TkbmMWSQLiteConnection.Query(
const AClass:TkbmCustomMemTableClass;
const ASQL:string):TkbmCustomMemTable;
Only last will however be returned.
- Added to kbmMWXML.pas:
TkbmMWXMLNativeDataType to handle true native XML datatype
understanding.
(TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) properties ChildrenByName, ChildrenByID,
AttribByNameIsNil
(TkbmMWDOMXMLNode) functions GetNativeDataType,
GetDataTypeName
- Added support for ftShortint as parameter and field type.
- Added support for int64/uint64 versions of CompareAndExchange
for pre XE.
- Added support for XE6.
- Added support for XE7.
- Added new HTTP FastCGI able custom service and demo
application.
- Added mwdtDBTimings,mwdtDBTransaction options to
kbmMWDebugTypes.
If mwdtDBTimings is enabled, ms accurate timings are output
for DB operations.
If mwdtDBTransaction is enabled, DB transaction start,
commit and rollback are logged.
- Added fast TkbmMWStringLookup. It is a fast hash based simple
string list for unique strings,
with indexed access to each string.
- Added fast TkbmMWStringLookupList. Its a fast string
key/value has based list for unique key names and values,
with indexed access to each key string and value access via
key string.
- Added TkbmMWCustomMessagingServerTransport.
CreateRequestMessage.
- Added TkbmMWCustomMessagingServerTransport.
CreateServiceCallMessage.
- Added TkbmMWVirtualMessagingServerTransport component, which
can be used for adding one or more local/internal only WIB
segments within an application.
- Added more overloaded SendMessage and SendPrioritizedMessage
methods to TkbmMWCustomMessagingClientTransport.
- Added support for handing nil where TkbmMWClientIdentity is
expected in CreateMessage, SendMessage and
SendPrioritizedMessage.
- Added kbmMWObjectMarshalInitialize and
kbmMWObjectMarshalFinalize which should be
called at application start and end time in C++Builder
applications to
ensure timely correct initialization of object marshalling.
In Delphi its not required to call them.
- Updated Remote Desktop with encryption (SHA256), new chat
features, drawing features and improved login features.
Changes/minor additions
=======================
- Updated object marshaller (incl. JSON and XML) to support new
kbmMWNullable and TkbmMWDateTime types.
Internally there have been made many changes to also support
objects defined by XSD import.
- Dropped own implementation of TkbmMWEvent, and instead
aliases TkbmMWEvent to fastest Delphi/C++Builder
implementation for given Embarcadero version.
- Removed from kbmMWGlobal.pas
function kbmMWDateTimeToISO8601String,
function kbmMWISO8601StringToDateTime,
function kbmMWDateToISO8601String,
function kbmMWISO8601StringToDate,
function kbmMWTimeToISO8601String,
function kbmMWISO8601StringToTime,
they have been replaced with TkbmMWDateTime.
- Removed from kbmMWXML.pas:
function kbmMWXMLTryStringToDateTime,
function kbmMWXMLDateTimeToString,
function kbmMWXMLStringToDateTime,
function kbmMWXMLDateToString,
function kbmMWXMLStringToDate,
function kbmMWXMLTimeToString,
function kbmMWXMLStringToTime,
Instead use TkbmMWDateTime functionality.
- Modified in kbmMWGlobal.pas
class function TkbmMWPlatformMarshal.UTF8Decode(
const ABytes:TkbmMWBytes;
ACount:TkbmNativeInt = -1):string;
Added optional ACount.
- Made general use of TkbmMWLock and TkbmMWDateTime internally.
- Performance optimized XML parser.
Large XML files now parses 20-fold faster.
(example 165 MB XML now parsed in 7.6 secs. Before parsed
in 3.5 minutes)
- Added optional KBMMW_COMPACT_XML definition which if defined,
lowers memory use by XML parser significantly at a
parsing performance penalty of 40%.
- Updated AnyDAC adapter.
- Updated FireDAC adapter.
- Added distance delegate for generic TkbmMWSortedList
constructor.
- Added TkbmMWDigest512 to kbmMWGlobal.pas.
- Updated JNI.pas and JNIUtils.pas to latest version and fixed
bugs.
- Optimized WIB message processing performance for server
request/calls.
