JCL 1.101 Build 2725 (with support for RAD Studio 2007)

[Florent Ouchet]

Hi all,

This new release of the Jedi Code Library is available in the JCL pages
at Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47514

This releases support RAD Studio 2007 and is based on the content
of the source repository at Sourceforge (revision 2134 - packaged on
Aug. the 15th).

Head changes for this release are:
- New function to initialize TFont object from standard system fonts
(JclFont.pas)
- New functions to move and copy directories in JclFileUtils.pas.
- Conversion functions between SID and string are added to
JclSysInfo.pas.
- Expression evaluation now supports operators (and, or, xor, not...).
- new stream classes: TJclSectoredStream to handle data in a sectored
storage, TJclCRC16Stream and TJclCRC32Stream to protect a sectored
stream using checksums.
- new functions to easily handle command line parameters
(JclFileUtils.pas)

As usual many enhancements and bug fixes are part of this release, the
subversion repository contains full log of all these changes:

More than a couple of years I had reported the following syntax error/
bug, which still doesn't seem to fixed:

In module jvfunctions.pas, line 1469

"if (not CharIsNumber(Ch)) or (Ch = DecimalSeparator) then"

should be, AFAICWO

"if (not CharIsNumberChar(Ch)) or (Ch = DecimalSeparator) then"

i placed a report in whatever the bug tracker was at the time. Never
bothered to follow up because it is a straightforward edit. Nevertheless...
