Delphi compilers with support for the inline directive (starting with Delphi 2005) failed to compile DIFileFinder *.bpl packages for the Demo and Commercial editions. They generated a “[dcc32 Fatal Error] DIUtils: F2051 Unit DIContainers was compiled with a different version of DIUtils.StrSameIW”. Regular *.exe applications compiled without problems. The DIFileFinder Source Code also compiled to both *.bpl packages and *.exe applications with no problems.

• Unicode update: The TDIWildFileFinder wildcard matching algorighm now operates on the basis of Ucs4Char instead of WideChar. Use the new TDIWildFileFinder.MaskUCP and TDIWildFileFinder.WildUCP properties to set the respective Unicode Code Points. The old TDIWildFileFinder.MaskChar and TDIWildFileFinder.WildChar are deprecated and and have public instead of published visibility.
