There will be no further development.
With AsyncCalls you can execute multiple functions at the same time and synchronize them at every point in the function or method that started them. This allows you to execute time consuming code whos result is needed at a later time in a different thread. While the asynchronous function is executed the caller function can do other tasks.
The AsyncCalls unit offers a variety of function prototypes to call asynchronous functions. There are functions that can call asynchronous functions with one single parameter of the type: TObject, Integer, AnsiString, WideString, IInterface, Extended and Variant. Another function allows you to transfer a user defined value type (record) to the asynchronous function where it can be modify. And there are functions that can call asynchronous functions with a variable number of arguments. The arguments are specified in an const array of const and are automatically mapped to normal function arguments.
Inlined VCL/main thread synchronization is supported starting with version 2.0. With this you can implement the code that calls a VCL function directly in your thread method without having to use a helper method and TThread.Synchronize. You have full access to all local variables.
Version 2.9 introduces the TAsyncCalls class that utilizes generics and anonymous methods (Delphi 2009 or newer).
