The theme to this release, if there is one, is consolidating support for FreePascal and Delphi 2009.

JCF 2.43: changed since 2.42

More assorted changes for FreePascal supplied by Paul Ishenin.

Support for some FreePascal operator overloads.

Fixed issues in the handling of UTF-8 format files containing Unicode characters.

Fixed Sourceforge bug 2490118: Parser exception with empty var section in a class, reported by TridenT
Fixed Sourceforge bug 2130798: Indentation strange on procedure local type/var declarations, reported by Lawrence Johnstone.
Fixed Sourceforge bug 2443660: Line Breaking Uses Clause - Not working, reported by Donovan J. Edye.
Fixed Sourceforge bug 2120068: IndentProcedures setting has no effect, reported by Lawrence Johnstone. Added a new setting to indent procedure body one stop.

The change log is as follows:

Using JcfStringUtils.pas for many string-handling routines to be licence-compatible with Free Pascal. File supplied by Paul Ishenin.
A lot of FPC/Lazarus compatibility work from Paul Ishenin.

Errors found and fixed by testing with Lazarus source:
Absolute keyword can be followed by a dotted name.Lower case hex digits weren't recognised. This was probably introduced recently.
Error in line breaking around conditional compilation, parse failed with an error "Spaces to end is -5" (or other negative number).... read more

Delphi 2009 is now the default environment for JCF.
Support for some more Delphi 2008 syntax: Result := inherited; and a first pass at support for anonymous functions. Added more test cases on generics.
This fixes Sourceforge bug 2207649 D2009 - result := inherited;
Fixed Sourceforge bug 2120068: "IndentProcedures setting has no effect", by removing the unused settings.
Some code changes were made for string handling in Delphi 2009. All test cases pass in Delphi 2009 and Delphi 2007. The latest (SVN head) version of JCL and JVCL was used, since there are bugs in the Delphi 2009 released version.

The JCF source code and executables are now available under a dual licence - MPL 1.1 or GPL 2.0 or greater. Formerly, it was just under the MPL. The GPL licence was added at the request of Paul Ishenin from the Lazarus project, so that they can integrate formatter code into their project. Have fun, guys!

JCF 2.34: Changed since 2.33
Compiled in Delphi 2007 using the latest version of JCL and JVCL

Generics are now supported: imported and passed all of TridenT's test cases for new syntax for generics.

The settings tree is now built in code rather than in the .dfm. this was apparently causing problems building the programs in Delphi 6 and 7.

New in this release is Asm options: After input from Robert Marquardt and Florent Ouchet of Team JEDI on their requirements for inline assembler block formatting, we have new asm options, and a new options panel in the settings.

JCF is a tool that formats Delphi source code.
Version 2.30 has been released. In this version are Windows Vista support, support for Delphi 2007, support for 120 DPI fonts and a few bug fixes.

Due to the confusion as to whether the last release was 2.08 or 2.09, this one is numbered 2.10, read as "two point ten", not as "two point one zero".
Incorporated lextms's patch to the JcfIdeMain.pas unit, to allow it to work in Delphi 2005.
New features:
Added a new warning for procedure/function/method parameters that do not appear to be used in the function body
