Some of you (who really reads my blog?) maybe noticed the URL change. I have updated my hosting package to a newer version with some more space and traffic volume. I used this change to clean up all my (mostly hidden to the public) subdomains. I removed nearly all, including the “blog” sub domain, and moved the root entry to the newly upgraded WordPress 3.0 path.
The other news is an updated version of the XML Library. I had some problems using the XML Library in the Project Formatter (small tool created to format [for revision control system to get it comparable] CodeGear projects and even do some bug fixing) in projects including an ampersand in node values. The XML Library could read the files but after writing they got invalid. A small research offered a nearly catastrophic bug in handling the default entities. I have changed this piece of the sources some times ago to get the default entity coding independent from the character set coding, but this change has even destroyed basic features. This is a really big show stopper, so please find the actual version of the library (v1.94) on the XMLLib page for download and upgrade your projects as soon as possible. I am very upset about this mistake, but I have to remember of the disclaimer in front of the xmllib.pas.
