  • SOAP Security and many more.

In this new version 9.3 we have added the RAD Studio 10.3 Rio support. The updated version of the SOAP component provides the SOAP XOP messages support. The MIME Parameter Continuation and Header Encoding Extensions were implemented, as well.

Starting from the version 8.0 the library was splitted on design-time and runtime packages. Starting from now, the components can be used by RAD Studio form designer in 64-bit projects.
The basic socket components were replaced and improved. The class inheritance was changed. Please see the Help documentation for more details.
