Agree with you about the Community Edition. Over my career I've
seen the success that comes with having a free or easy to access
entry point..... A pity that this was not done 20 years
ago.<br></font></div></blockquote></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Calibri"></font></div></blockquote></div><div dir="auto">My thoughts entirely!

<div>Hi everyone<br>
<br>
</div>
It's good to see Embarcadero possibly breathing some
life back into Delphi with the release of its free
Community edition.<br>
<br>
</div>
In case anyone is interested; some months ago I made
some changes to Lockbox2 which were finally merged into
Github this week. <a href="https://github.com/jarto/lockbox2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/jarto/lockbox2</a>
<br>
</div>
I hope the updated code will soon make its way to
Sourceforge as well.<br>
<br>
</div>
Lockbox2 was originally a pre-unicode solution which was
later modified with DoSomethingA(ansistring) and
DoSomethingW(widestring) methods in a similar fashion to the
Windows API. I reverted the code to the original
DoSomething(string) methods by utilising rawbytestring
parameters and UTF8 internally, so that it now works across
all versions of Delphi pre/post unicode (back to Delphi5)
and Lazarus/FPC. The only thing lacking now for all modern
uses is a SHA-2 hashing algorithm.<br>
<br>
So if you're a fan of Lockbox check it out!<br>
<br>
</div>
Note: Lockbox3 also exists, but it only supports Delphi >=
2010 in a manner which is not backwards compatible with
pre-unicode Delphi. It also does not compile with Lazarus/FPC.<br>
