GitHub – rbwebdev/lemmings-page-404: My 404 page with a little game of Lemmings

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/26

Last week I wrote about Example how not to return a HTPP-500 result: Amazon DE – Tut uns Leid!.

Today I found https://archive.is/undefined which consistently returns a HTTP 404 in the HTTP result.

It reminded me of an old (well, what is old anyway <g>) post Best 404 page ever. back in the days (returning both 404 in the HTTP result and page content) I did not yet archive outgoing links (it took me a few more years to realise many URLs are ephemeral and have queued up a post on that for early next year),  and found out the site has changed since then. Time for archived and updated links, and a repository too as by now the source has been published on GitHub:

List of Delphi language features and version in which they were introduced/deprecated – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/26

Especially with the documentation for all versions of Delphi 2010 through the second-last version of Delphi have been killed from the docwiki (see The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day.), I wish that Embarcadero would put effort into maintaining the [Wayback/Archive] List of Delphi language features and version in which they were introduced/deprecated – Stack Overflow

Currently, the only alternative is the conditional defines from [Wayback/Archive] jedi/jedi.inc at master · project-jedi/jedi and (which in turn is included by for instance [Wayback/Archive] jcl/jcl.inc at master · project-jedi/jcl and [Wayback/Archive] jvcl/jvcl.inc at master · project-jedi/jvcl, but that one does not provide links to existing documentation.

Thanks to all the maintainers on Stack Overflow that have tirelessly edited this answer over and over again to keep it up to date on current and past Delphi versions, see [Wayback/Archive] Revisions to List of Delphi language features and version in which they were introduced/deprecated – Stack Overflow.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Server Overflow.
