If you want to add an image in a lazarus ressource file (*.lrs). You must use "lazres". But it isn't easy to use it. So I made a little tool to add, delete, view ressource in a lrs file. This tools is a graphical tools. I made it to add some picture directly in my software, but you can add all ressource file. You can download it on sourceforge at : https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=240460 Have a lot fun Oniria http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org./modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=240 cavalliinformatica.com presents: SI_Browser is a simplified viewer of DICOM images.

With the Toolkit you can: - Automatically convert Delphi or Lazarus forms (.dfm/.lfm) to PHP code (.php) that uses the open-source VCL for PHP class library. This is a simple way to preserve some of the forms' visual layout in a Web app. - Configure Lazarus for use as a PHP IDE, including syntax checking of PHP and JavaScript code and jumping to syntax errors. - Create PHP Extension libraries from Pascal code using units from PHP4Delphi and the Toolkit's ExtPZAPI unit. This is an easy way to add non-UI Pascal code to a PHP Web app. The Pascal library can be called by and call back to your PHP code. Supports Windows, OS X and Linux, so you're not limited to deploying your extensions on a Windows server. The Toolkit home page for status and source code download is here: http://web.fastermac.net/~MacPgmr/PhpTk/PhpTkStatus.html A discussion forum is available here: http://groups.google.com/group/phptk Have fun! -Phil http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org./modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=236 We are proud to officially announce the release of the ZEOS DBO Library 6.6.3 - stable The Development Team wants to thank all of you very much for supplying us with your feedback, ideas and contributions and also patches and bugfixes. Here are the download links to our latest stable release: ZEOSDBO-6.6.3-stable ZEOSDBO-6.6.3-stable doxygen ZEOSDBO-6.6.3-stable DelphiCode2Doc This download is also available from our forum download section and from sourceforge. With best Regards! The ZEOSLib Development Team. (http://zeos.firmos.at/) It took a very long time and the hard work of at least a small group of people who decided in August 2005 to continue with the ZEOS Database Objects Library to provide support to the community and try to develop the next stable version. Since the withdraw of the founders of the ZEOS Library the future of the project was not quite clear. But with the support of a quite fast growing user community and their contributions to the project we kept it alive ... and are stable, again! http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org./modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=235 Subversion Local Repository Monitor is a little tool that helps those unlucky people (like me) that are forced to use SVN Repositories on a network file share and who would like to easily monitor their team commit activity. Other well known commit monitors for Subversion do not allow this kind of repository.

This is a bugfix release containing very critical fixed specifically in regards to the new 0.6.x features: SSL and Session support. I'd urge anyone using lNet 0.6.x to upgrade as soon as possible. You can download the new version here. Short list of bugfixes: Fixed sessions bug in visual forms (would crash lazarus if you removed assigned sessions from form) Fixed session sharing between multiple components Fixed SSL sending of big chunks Fixed SSL receiving on windows/visual Fixed SMTP and FTP OnSuccess/OnFailure logic (internal state-stack bug) Fixed TLSocket.Creator to act as per-documentation Fixed some example bugs, mostly on FTP visual 1 through 4 were very critical bugs. I apologize, they were oversights mostly due to lack of testing. You can find more info about the bugs and how they got fixed at the lNet blog. I'm sorry for the problems anyone might have because of these bugs, and hope it didn't completely undermine any confidence you might have in the library. http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org./modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=228 Cactus Jukbeox 0.4beta has been released.
