Hi

Searching the repository history for when Form Designer Guidelines were introduced, I found it in r1754 (2002-06-19). WOW!! That's like 5 or 6 years before Delphi copied it. :-) Awesome work Mattias!! It's features like this, that proves that Lazarus IDE is NOT a clone of the Delphi IDE.

By the way, the Lazarus repository does not have releases tagged that far back, so I simply dated it by month and year, prior to release v0.9.4. As shown in the wiki page below.

Indeed. AFAIR at that time some Delphi users thought they were graphic bugs.

:-)

Does Delphi finally support include files and sessions? And has it a word completion?

As far as I know include file support is still as it was in Delphi 5-7. Two more items I'll add to the IDE Features page. I use such feature so often, I forget they are "extra special" to Lazarus.

Hehe, if I would commit such a multi patch nowadays, Vincent would hit me. I learned a lesson or two.

hehe... That was a rather large patch.
