Blog | Raudus.com | Web-framework for Delphi and Lazarus

In Lazarus 1.2 so called “Mediators” were introduced.
Mediators allow one to create own designer for custom controlset.
But mediators broke the way Raudus was integrated in Lazarus.
I made an effort to go mediators-way, but it seems to be
a major update and i plan it for 0.10 now.

As a temporary hack you are adviced to apply a patch to your Lazarus
in file sourcefilemanager.pas in procedure TryRegisteredClasses.

  if FoundComponentClass<>nil then begin
    DebugLn(['TLazSourceFileManager.FindComponentClass.TryRegisteredClasses found: ',FoundComponentClass.ClassName]);
{+} if FoundComponentClass.ClassName='TRaFormCompatible' then FoundComponentClass:=TForm;
    TheModalResult:=mrOk;
    Result:=true;
  end;

The post about future plans and 0.10.x branch will be published later.

Thanks!

Raudus 0.9.7 Released

Posted on 23.12.2013 by igorklopov

Raudus 0.9.7 is released.

Download page

1) Formely Raudus application required mongoose32.dll. Now mongoose web server (it’s last MIT-based snapshot) is ported to Pascal and contained inside Raudus runtime. Now you only need “rfe.js” to deploy your standalone app. But if you need to compress your traffic, you must use zlib1.dll. Also, if you need to serve SSL (https), you must use SSL libraries. All these dll’s are in “requisite” directory. Refer to example “40-Timers-SSL”.
2) Default port is 8080 instead of 88.
3) Fixed scaling issue in Mobile Chrome and Firefox.
3) Bugfixes. Thanks to Francesco and Dario.
4) Support of Delphi XE5.
5) Support of Lazarus 1.0.14 and others. These are Lazarus installers, that are guaranteed to be compatible with Raudus (hosted at Raudus server for your convenience):
lazarus-1.0.14-fpc-2.6.2-win32.exe
Lazarus-1.1-42538-fpc-2.7.1-20130901-win32.exe
lazarus-1.2RC1-fpc-2.6.2-win32.exe
CodeTyphonIns460.zip
6) Known issue: In TRaDBGrid.OnClickTitle event handler you may probably need to cast: (Column as TRaDBGridColumn).FieldName

Thanks!

UPD: In Delphi XE5 you may probably need to add “VCL” to “scopes list” in Project Options.

Raudus 0.9.5 Released

Posted on 21.07.2013 by igorklopov

Raudus 0.9.5 is released.

1) New examples (40, 41, 42, 43) show how to use SSL, how to wrap Raudus app in desktop app, and how to run as a Windows service.
2) New events: TRaTabControl.OnChange, TRaTabSheet.OnShow and OnHide.
3) New component: TRaUploader. You can upload a file from local drive to server, and handle TMemoryStream at server-side (parse, save to file, save to LOB/BLOB). Uploading does not block UI. Users can continue work, while uploading is performed “in background”. Has OnProgress event. Does not work with IE<9. See example 15 in Raudus directory and online upload example.
4) jQuery-based datepicker. See example 93. Compile RaudusX package to use datepicker in your projects.
5) Delphi XE4 is supported.
6) FPC 2.7.1 (PPU 158, CodeTyphon) is supported.

Raudus 0.9.4 Released

Posted on 11.05.2013 by igorklopov

Raudus 0.9.4 is released.

1) Usual Delphi menu is not enough versatile. Hence, TRaOverlay is introduced. At design time it is a usual panel. At runtime it is shown over everything. TRaOverlay coordinates are absolute coordinates on the page. TRaOverlay can be used as menu, popup, hint, etc. You can place any control onto TRaOverlay, so create rich menus. Check out new Mobile and Employee examples.
2) TRaOverlay is mobile capable. Open Mobile and Employee examples using smartphone or tablet PC.
3) TRaButton. New properties “Align” and “Stick”. New UI “simple”. Set Button UI to “simple” to make it look like menu item.
4) TRaApplication.Application.EventPoint and EventRectangle contain coordinates of last click event. It may be used when setting TRaOverlay.Left and Top.
5) TRaDBGrid has clickable column titles. They can be used with TRaOverlay to create a submenu with “sort column”.
6) TRaTabControl. Appearance improved. Now TabSheet.Title is an object with “Caption” and “Width”.
7) Android 4.0+ scrolling is native now. It is more smooth.
8) Client-side (a.k.a. rfe.js) was rewritten. Now it is more stable and reveals opportunity of more complex components.
9) There was a problem when installing Raudus for Lazarus (“wrong checksum”). It is solved now. New utility “welding” is introduced. It patches Raudus binaries (PPU files) to make them compatible with Lazarus binaries. Hence, current Raudus release is compatible with all current and future releases of Lazarus, based on FPC 2.6.2. Read updated manual.

Thank you for your attention and patience.
