JEDI Code Library 2.0.1 and JVCL 3.38

The JEDI Project has released new versions of the JCL 2.0.1 (JEDI Code Library) and the JVCL 3.38 (JEDI Visual Component Library). Both include support for Delphi/C++Builder 6 to 2010.

And because the trial version of RAD Studio 2010 doesn’t have a command line compiler which is required to install the JCL and JVCL, I have uploaded two binary installers to Code Central that install a precompiled JCL and a precompiled JVCL.

JEDI Code Library 2.0.1 Binary Installer (required by JVCL 3.38)
JEDI Visual Component Library 3.38 Binary Installer

Just in case you are wondering if I made a German installer. No the Installer supports multiple languages. It’s a themed InnoSetup.

JCL 2.01 Changes:

• improved Unicode support for Delphi 2009, C++Builder 2009 and newer
• new expert for displaying improved stack traces in the debugger, these stack traces can be serialized to XML files
• support for 32 bit FPC
