@naglieri right now we rely on @hpw disponibility.
Lastest news I got from him, he was still interested but with no time.
Perhaps in the near future Artificial Intelligence will help us on updating the software to a modern compiler.
Sorry!

Hello,

Luis is right that I am still interested in my favorit tool.

But I am getting older and the day job gets more demanding.

And the day job gets first priority because it pays the bills.

I have never promissed to do a full time developer job.

2021 in pandemic I spent my hole summer holiday for the bigger updates.

I do not think that AI can help to update very aged delphi-sources and the used old librarys.

Sorry to not have better news.

Regards

@luishp , @hpw,

Maybe it's time to relaunch VisualNeoWin as open source in the github community and that it can benefit from the development of the different developers interested in keeping it alive...

It's an idea, what do you think about this? Could there be a community version?

There are many retired developers or about to retire who were trained with Delphi1 ;-) up to Delphi7, on the other hand I'm sure there are people from the Laragon community interested in porting it.

Happy summer

@emmanuel-fernandez unfortunately that's not possible due to two important legal issues:

• VisualNEO Win uses many third party copyrighted libraries.
• We have a compromise to sell the application commercially and pay royalties to NeoSoftware.

Sorry and happy summer for you too!

I thank you all.

Mine wasn't a complaint. I know the times and I can imagine the difficulties.
However one goal was achieved: 4 posts on VNWin in one day :-)

Thanks again everyone and happy holidays
