Announcement: MonkeyGroomer 0.1 Public Release!

I am proud to announce the public release of MonkeyGroomer 0.1!

Download Now for FREE!

MonkeyGroomer is a simple application that aims to help convert your Delphi projects to FireMonkey projects. Currently only VGScene is supported. It also supports VGScene style files.

• MonkeyGroomer supports over 100 VGScene classes and components
• In this release, components not supported in the selected project will halt the conversion. (with a helpful message)
• In the final release, you will have the option of removing unsupported components.
• Currently the VCL conversion converts specific properties for any component. In a future release the engine will be more discriminatory.
• Most VGScene components have been tested. 

• A wizard is planned, to make the conversion process simple and painless!
• Most of the work was done on the form parser and conversion engine. Once support for VCL is complete this engine will be adapted to support other delphi platforms and components in the future, using Lua4Delphi! (donate now!)

Special thanks to Simon J Stuart!

MonkeyGroomer - Roadmap

The feedback from MonkeyGroomer has been tremendous! That, paired with the announcement of MonkeyGroomer having plans for LUA support, this aims to be a very important release for the Delphi community! Not only will you be able to migrate your VCL and VGScene applications, you will be able to script and convert your own custom components!  So, whats the plan?

This week:

• Release MonkeyGroomer with Full VGScene support (stable) for public use for free!
• Release an alpha version with limited VCL support, to test the VCL conversion engine.

Over the next month:

• Release continual updates with additional VCL and other common controls
• Set up a community for developers to discuss and share experiences on migrating their projects.

And when that's done:

• Add Lua4Delphi support
• Set up a community for developers to share and discuss migrating custom and third party components.
