Regarding the latest updates...

Fore more clarity, I think it would be nice to have a version 4.52 including all changes from 4.51 plus the content of VCLZipUpdates.zip, that you posted a few days ago.
That would IMHO much easier to handle. What do you think?

HI Jérôme,

I agree. But there was a bit of a snafu with the source control app we use and that needs to be straightened out before a reliable, normal build can be run. We needed to get this fix out as quickly as possible. We will create a new build in the next couple of days that incorporates all of the changes.

Thanks,

Kevin

Those warnings are all ok and even the ones with "potential data loss" are on purpose. I know that a build without warnings is preferred and we will be putting in conditionals to hide those warnings for the next release.

Actually, if you are getting all of these warnings, that means you are still working with versin 4.50. With version 4.51 you should only be getting the last two warnings.

Ops. You are right. Those warnings are from version 4.50. My mistake. I installed 4.51 to a new directory and forgot to update my library path in Delphi. Version 4.51 only gives 4 warnings:
[DCC Warning] kpZipObj.pas(1288): W1044 Suspicious typecast of AnsiString to PWideChar
[DCC Warning] kpZipObj.pas(1293): W1057 Implicit string cast from 'AnsiString' to 'string'
[DCC Warning] kpZipObj.pas(1347): W1044 Suspicious typecast of AnsiString to PWideChar
