I knew it was backward compatibility, but TeeChart author David Berneda knew exactly what version:
One old issue with the XE5 osx compiler, some forms in text format raised a “Bad file format” exception, fix was leave them binary

From a while back, but still interesting especially because there some differences similar to base/inherited designer objects: [WayBack] vcl – How to do bulk -transformation of form to frame- in Delphi? – Stack Overflow:
Observe the differences of a Form and a Frame in your project.
First the project.dpr source:
program Project1; uses Forms, Unit1 in 'Unit1.pas' {Form1}, Unit3 in 'Unit3.pas' {Frame3: TFrame}; {$R *.res} begin Application.Initialize; Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True; Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1); Application.Run; end.Differences:
- Frame as a more elaborated comment to tell the IDE which designer it should use
- Form can be autocreate
Dfm files:
object Form1: TForm1 Left = 0 Top = 0 Caption = 'Form1' ClientHeight = 348 ClientWidth = 643 Color = clBtnFace Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET Font.Color = clWindowText Font.Height = -11 Font.Name = 'Tahoma' Font.Style = [] OldCreateOrder = False PixelsPerInch = 96 TextHeight = 13 endand
object Frame3: TFrame3 Left = 0 Top = 0 Width = 320 Height = 240 TabOrder = 0 endFrame does not have these properties:
- Caption
- ClientHeight
- ClientWidth
- Color
- Font.Charset
- Font.Color
- Font.Height
- Font.Name
- Font.Style
- OldCreateOrder
- PixelsPerInch
- TextHeight
Sidenote: Frame does not have these events:
- OnCreate
- OnDestroy
A Frame has not global variable like this:
var Form1: TForm1;And a Frame descends from
TFrame, whereas a form descends fromTForm.Note: with Frame/Form inheritence, your steps become a bit longer.

Some of these are similar to the differences you see here:

PS: Idea: make a wizard or conversion tool for this.

Reminder to self: check the entries referenced in [WayBack] Judging from recent QP bug resolutions, current status of Delphi compiler is “Leaks all the way” or “Broken by design”. Take your pick… – Dalija Prasnikar – Google+

A great 404-page: [WayBack] Marvin the Paranoid Android moans about requests for missing pages.
The fun about the WayBack link is that it fills the first memo field it finds (:

Edit: nice comment on [WayBack] If you are on .NET, migrate to .NET Core. If you start with .NET, start with .NET Core. Based on: [WayBack] Nick Craver on Twitter: “This is worth repea… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+:
We are porting Continua CI to .net core 2.1, I’ve been working on it for a few months now (along with other things of course), I had to contribute to a few open source projects to help get all our dependencies onto .net core, and for the most part it’s been pretty easy. I did have to change the windows service stuff, and since there is no WCF server stuff in .net core we have to find a replacement for that for server to agent communications (still exploring options, but probably going with halibut).What hasn’t (and still isn’t) easy is porting MVC4/5 stuff to asp.net core. So many little changes that drive me absolutely potty. I was getting so frustrated that I had to put it aside for a while and work on other things, just to get my sanity back!

If you want to restrict the WSDL publishing so it only is published in DEBUG mode, then add a [WayBack] TWSDLHTMLPublish to your [WayBack] TWebModule descendant, then add this in the [WayBack] OnCreate event handler of that TWebModule descendant:
// Enable/disable handling of "/wsdl*" requests during DEBUG/RELEASE mode. Enabling sends them via
// Handled := WSDLHTMLPublish1.DispatchRequest(Sender, Request, Response);
{$ifdef DEBUG}
WSDLHTMLPublish1.WebDispatch.Enabled := True;
{$endif DEBUG}
{$ifdef RELEASE}
WSDLHTMLPublish1.WebDispatch.Enabled := False;
{$endif DEBUG}
end;
I have limited this because there are so many hard coded strings in the TWSDLHTMLPublish, see the thread by [WayBack] Marjan Venema at [WayBack] Hide WSDL document in SOAP app – delphi

Last year, ZeroMQ – of late Pieter Hintjens ancestry – got a decent support library for Delphi https://github.com/grijjy/DelphiZeroMQ.
While writing, there is a reasonable chance I need to do message queue work and ZeroMQ is excellent. I’ve done MQ already in other environments with various projects involving Wintel/iSeries, WebSphere MQ (now IBM MQ, formerly MQSeries), Oracle AQ and Microsofts MSMQ stacks so I’m anxious to see if and how this works out.

Same difference; two tools.
Plastic SCM compare: lots of clutter
Beyond Compare: just the things that are different.

If you ever want to fly a drone without a license in The Netherlands, be prepared that the flying zones are very limited, especially in : [Archive.is] Drone no-fly zones | ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu
The text isn’t very clear, even to Dutch people, so there is some discussion and explanation in these links:
More temporary airspace restrictions are here:
