64 bit .NET versions of the libraries, and improved WPF support.

Dear Customers,

We are happy to announce the first 64 bit .NET prerelase versions of all the Mitov Software .NET libraries :

http://www.mitov.com/BasicVideo_NET_5_0_1_V_64.zip

Also available from our site - http://www.mitov.com/downloads/DotNET

This versions are a major upgrade from the official 5.0.1 versions.
They have 2 times less assemblies, all the assemblies are managed safecode, and all necessary DLLs are embedded into the assemblies.
The assemblies will work automatically natively both in 32 and 64 bit Windows, and contain embedded DLLs for both platforms.

The Visual C++ redistributable is also not needed any more.

In addition this version significantly improves the design time performance of the components, and fixes the WPF embedding problems.

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

The promissed birthday surprise :-). - the first 64 bit installs for Delphi

Hi folks,

Here is the birthday surprise, I promised :-).
The first 64 bit prerelease installs for all of the libraries, and a compatible version of the OpenWire Editor:

http://www.mitov.com/PlotLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/IntelligenceLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/InstrumentLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/SignalLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/AudioLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/VideoLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip
http://www.mitov.com/VisionLab_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip

http://www.mitov.com/OpenWireEditor_VCL_5_0_1_F.zip

The libraries contain 64 bit support both for VCL and FireMonkey.

At the moment there are two known problems. The NeuralNetwork throws floating point exception during training in 64 bit mode. I have already fixed the problem, and it will be included in the next build.
The DirectShow video player does not seem to generate proper OnStop event in 64 bit mode, and as result the Loop mode is not working and the video transition demo has problems.
I will be working to fix this bug as well.

Please remember. This installs are for early adopters only. These are the very first 64 bit installs and other problems are very likely to be in them. We are testing them extensively, and expect to find more issues.
We do not recommend using the 64 bit versions without extensive testing first!

Have great Holidays!
Cheers,
Boian

Connecting to remote DirectShow Graph in 64 bit Windows 7

Hi folks,

Ever since I upgraded to 64 bit Windows 7, I have not been able to connect to remote 32 bit DirectShow graphs from GraphEdit :-( . Well... not any more :-) . Thanks to one of my customers, who unveiled the secret :-) . It turns out there is a DLL provided in the Microsoft SDK that is not registered during the install of the SDK.
To enable the functionality copy the 32 bit version of the proppage.dll from the SDK (in the 7.1 version of the SDK in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin ) to the Windows\SysWOW64 directory.
Then run the:
regsvr32.exe proppage.dll

after that you will be able to connect to the registered DirectShow graphs from GraphEdit.

Cheers,
Boian

Visiting the Computer History Museum

Hi folks,

Over the weekend we had a chance to visit the Computer History Museum:
http://www.computerhistory.org/

It is a must see! Especially while they have the Charles Babbage's Difference engine.
You can see me here marveling at it :-) :


You can also see Melody obviously enjoying the role of the "Mad Scientist" :-) :

Here she is only reaching to the knobs, obeying the "Do not touch" sign ;-) .

I greatly recommend you visiting the place. There is so much we have forgotten or simply never knew about the early days of computing!

Delphi XE2 Update 2 compatible installs

Dear Customers,

RAD Studio XE2 Update 2 introduced some major changes in the VCL and FireMonkey libraries. The changes made some of our products incompatible with it.

Delphi XE2 Update 2 and FireMonkey

Hi Folks,

Embarcadero is working hard on rapidly improving Delphi XE2 and the FireMonkey support.
Unfortunately that comes with a price :-( . They just have released Update 2 and reportedly it introduces some big changes in the VCL and FireMonkey libraries. This requires our packages to be recompiled for Update 2 in order to be compatible.

We are working to make Update 2 compatible release in the next 2 days.

We are also working hard to make a FireMonkey version for Windows available probably sometime next week. We have all the packages ready, and are in process of creating the demos and the installs.

MAC, and iOS FireMonkey versions are also under way, and should become available soon!

All existing customers that have purchased or will purchase VCL version in less than 1 year before the FireMonkey version becomes available will get it for free! :-) .

With best regards,
Boian Mitov
