Hi everyone It's good to see Embarcadero possibly breathing some life back into Delphi with the release of its free Community edition.
In case anyone is interested; some months ago I made some changes to Lockbox2 which were finally merged into Github this week. https://github.com/jarto/lockbox2 I hope the updated code will soon make its way to Sourceforge as well. 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. So if you're a fan of Lockbox check it out! 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. Todd
