LMD PackUtil is a small but very useful tool to manage different package and path settings for Borland/Codegear IDEs. Use it when you either want to backup and restore your favourite package and library path settings (taking “snapshots”) or to switch between different package settings easily (e.g. when testing different versions of packages).
Release 2.5 is based on LMD 2009 core and supports Delphi 7 up to Delphi/C++ Builder 2009. Release 2.2 is based on LMD 2007 core and supports Delphi/C++ Builder 5 up to CRS 2007.
LMD PackUtil is freeware and can be downloaded from our public download pages free of charge (Section “LMD Freeware”)

This text should provide you a short overview about releases you can expect in second half of 2008. Currently we are preparing to release soon the first packages based on the new LMD2009 core. This new core provides following major changes:
- Improved shared Unicode support. For existing IDEs, but also in preparation for upcoming CodeGear IDE releases with native Unicode support. We intend to support the next Delphi/C++ Builder releases (codename “Tiburon”) very shortly after the official release.
- Complete Rework of Themes support. After we received criticism for support of *.MSStyles in LMD 2007 core, we changed theme support drastically: All LMD-Tools and ElPack controls share now unified ThemeMode properties and can be controlled globally. Besides that support for any custom themes via MSStyles is still optional, but can be enabled/disabled dynamically. No more Theme switches and recompilation of library code, but a separate package which you can decide to use or not at runtime. E.g. creating applications which automatically use *.MSStyles themes on non-themed platforms (like Win2k) and system themes on themed platforms (like WinXP/Vista) is now a snap.
- Several new (e.g. PluginPack) or updated Standalone Packs (SyntaxEdit, ScriptPack, WebPack, etc.)
- Delphi/C++ Builder 5+6 and Delphi 8 support will be dropped. Besides that Windows 95 support will be no longer tested.

Besides bugfixes major change is integration of LMD LogTools API for advanced logging features in connection with our upcoming LMD AnyLogger project. A Technology Preview of LMD AnyLogger is available at public download area, section Freeware.
More infos about LMD AnyLogger until final release can be found here: LMD AnyLogger Tutorial.Other relevant changes in:

The first Technology Preview of our upcoming LMD AnyLogger project is available for public testing at public download area, section Freeware.
Documentation is not included yet, but until final release additional information can be found here: LMD AnyLogger Tutorial.
The API is already included in all recent LMD-Tools, ElPack and IDE-Tools relases, but can be downloaded separately as well.
The LogConsole/client part of the LMD AnyLogger package allows to visualize, filter, store and export logging data you have generated with AnyLogger libraries included in your application. At a later time additional support libraries for different languages and platforms will be available, This first technology Preview supports all Borland/CodeGear IDEs Version 5 and higher, .NET, core C(++) and Java libraries will follow in future versions.
Please note that the client GUI part is very raw yet (several functions/features do not work at all, e.g. graph visualizations). We invested much time in a very rich and feature enabled logging library and its visualization. The GUI will be heavily improved in the next betas, for now we are interested in experiences with the core logging library and whether everything works as expected.
This preview supports local transports and simple targets (files or “live logging”) only. Future versions will support more advanced transports (TCP, sockets, etc.) and targets. The AnyLogger client is designed as open system, which can be extended via custom Plugins. Several basic PlugIns can be already tested in this release.
There will be several editions of AnyLogger, the most basic version (local/live logging, simple targets) can be expected as free Add-On for future LMD-Tools/ElPack/IDE-Tools packages - therefore all LMD VCL 2007 releases from 14-May-2008 on include the complete AnyLogger support libraries.
Please report your experiences and suggestions in the .lmdtools group on the public LMD Newsserver. At a later time, when release date comes closer, a separate AnyLogger group will be added. -
