    • VerNumToStr - formats a version number as a dotted quad.
  • Updated TPJVersionNumber topic in help file re changes.

  • Updated HTML documentation.
  • Changed copyright message in help file.

v3.0 of 17 February 2002

  • Added ability to access all "translations" stored in a file's version information, rather than just first one. This has been done so that code using earlier versions of this component should continue to work unchanged.
  • Added new property to expose fixed file information record.
  • Added new "string array" property to give access to string information by name: this property can access any custom string information if the name is known.
  • Added properties to return number of "translations" and to select index of "translation" to be used.
  • Added properties to return language and character set codes in addition to descriptive strings.
  • All string info, language and character set properties now return values from the currently selected translation (which defaults to the first translation maintaining backward compatibility).
  • Empty FileName property now accesses name of host application per command line rather than using Application.ExeName.
  • CharSet property now returns '' for unknown value rather than 'Unknown'.
  • Renamed TVersionNumber record to TPJVersionNumber.

  • Renamed unit to PJVersionInfo.
  • Changed component palette from PJ Stuff to PJSoft.
  • Added two demo programs, one is a sample version information reading program and the other implements examples from the help file.

v2.1 of 28 November 1999

  • Changed unit name from VerInfo to VInfo to allow component to install under Delphi 3 & 4 (VerInfo clashes with an existing unit in these versions).

v2.0.1 of 08 July 1999

  • Changed palette where component installs to PJ Stuff from Own.
  • Added HTML documentation (shared documentation with Release 1.0.1).

v1.0 of 26 April 1998 {Never publicly released}
