Indy SVN Merge

Hello,

the Indy Tiburon Branch code has been merged into our SVN trunk. Remy Lebeau (TeamB) did a great job, and he previously wrote about in the Embarcadero Forum and in the Atozed Forum.

What does this mean for you?
If you are using an SVN client please update your location not to sync with the Tiburon Branch anymore, instead please use the trunk now.

If you are downloading from our Fulgan Mirror, please download the file named “Indy10_xxxx.zip”. “xxxx” is the nightly revision number, e.g. 4461 as of today. Files named “Indy10Tiburon_4448.zip” or something like that are NOT up-to-date and are likely to be removed within the next days or weeks, so please do not download them anymore.

If you want to get the Indy version shipped e.g. with Delphi XE, just download the tagged version from the SVN.

Does that mean the trunk provides “stable” releases?
Currently, there is nothing like stable releases. The development still continues and we always recommend updating Indy if you run into any troubles, especially with the small errors that made it into the shipping versions in Delphi 2009 (email attachment names lost) or 2010 (ftp binary settings lost).

Naming the file “Indy10_xxxx.zip” does not mean it’s a “stable release” (btw a term highly opened up to a lot of interpretation and space for discussions), it’s just that we managed to merge all the new code since D2009 into our old Indy 10 development trunk.

Cheers,
Arvid

Indy SVN Access

Hi,

we recently had a change to the Indy SVN server.

New locations are:
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy9/
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10/
https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10Demos/

The public user is now:
Username: Indy-Public-RO
(No password)

Note: The server uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Please trust it as it is needed to get access to the svn.

The usage of the svn moniker (svn://) is not supported anymore but the new server provides both SVN client and web access.

Please use your svn client’s relocation feature in order to move to the new location.

As always the current development is done in the Tiburon Branch (which will be merged at some later stage).

The official Fulgan Mirror is already updated to provide new daily snapshots again. For download instructions related to the mirror read the text at the bottom of this post: http://blog.digivendo.com/2008/09/where-to-get-the-current-indy-version/.

Sorry for inconvenience, but the new setup allows easier maintenance.

Cheers,
Arvid

Where to get the current Indy version?

Hi,

UPDATE – Please see this newer post about SVN access – UPDATE

as many users are asking again and again I’ll show you where to find the current Indy versions. Generally you have two choices:

Download using SVN or get your copy from Fulgan’s mirror.

The official download documentation is here. But I don’t know how long the page will stay at this location as we are going to change some things on the Indy website in future.

SVN
You can access the Indy SVN through your Browser or with any subversion client. Two of them I can recommend are SmartSVN or TortoiseSVN.

Use the following properties to access our SVN server:

Repository URL: svn://svn.atozed.com/indy/indy10

User: indy
Password: indy

That account will give you read-only access.

Note: The “trunk” folder has the current version. “branches” and “tags” are for advanced usage only.

UPDATE – Please see this newer post about SVN access – UPDATE

Mirror: Fulgan.com (Switzerland)
This mirror can be accessed on via anonymous FTP or HTTP. It is updated daily at 03:00 CET (GMT + 1).

Edit (Oct, 2nd 2008): Fulgan’s Mirror provides the current Trunk and SVN (both as .zip files). As always what you get is work in progress, so if you’re running into troubles try to update the downloaded version. Changelog is available in SVN or the Mirror’s root directory.
