Folks,
Sorry for the late notice, had a total knee replacement done two days after the release...
Chilkat Version 11 exclusively uses the Chilkat.<class> COM call. Prior versions could use Chilkat_9_5_0.<class> for the COM call.
Introduced the ChilkatVFP.H header file to handle this situation. If you use Chilkat v11 or greater, open the ChilkatVFP.H, set the CHILKAT_VERSION_11.0.0_OR_GREATER variable to .T., then recompile ChilkatVFP.VCX. If you support multiple Chilkat versions, set appropriately. Note: *Your* registry may not need it (depends on what's in your registry) but the intended runtime machine will most likely need it. And be sure to include the compiled ChilkatVFP.VCX/VCT to the runtime machine.
A big release. Some older classes were removed, all the undocumented PEMs were removed, documented PEMs were removed and replaced by new functions. Many other functions marked as decremented for later removal.
So, the list of items done for this release:
1) Added ChilkatVFP.H with compile-time switch. See Documentation/History.md for details. 2) Compatibility with Chilkat version 11.0.0. 3) Added code to test for removed classes/properties/methods.

I had my left knee done in 2019, and last year it started to fail, so I had it re-done last November. One thing I learned is that all the pain from rehabbing the joint is WORTH IT! The failure was from the cement used to hold the joint in the bone, and not anything I did. Until it failed, it worked great, and I credit the physical therapy for that. As my surgeon said, expect six weeks of hell!
This time around it was better because the doc recommended "pre-hab" before the surgery. I had lost a lot of flexion in the joint because of the failure, and they worked to increase that as much as possible beforehand. I didn't understand why at first, thinking that we were just going to get rid of that old joint anyway, but it's needed to stretch the tendons, ligaments, and other assorted parts so that they have a head start on where they need to be post-surgery.
Last month my wife and I did a road trip through the American southwest, and that included a stop at the Grand Canyon. We hiked the first 1.5 miles of the Bright Angel trail, which might not sound like much, but that is an elevation change of 1,200 ft (around 360 meters), which is equivalent to walking the stairs on a 120-story building. While my lungs were working hard to keep up, the knee was no problem!

Great to hear that Ed. I have a pending hip replacement that I hope to complete before the end of the year hopefully. Had one knee done many years ago and know how painful the rehab was for that.
Sorry to complicate the thread.

Ed,
Thanks for the kind words. I seem to be ahead of schedule - I was able to walk to the post office and back yesterday, slowly and carefully. The PO is .6 mile route. Got there, stopped at 7-11 to get snacks and cool off a bit, and ate while walking back. Good for day 5 I believe. Did the exercises, iced the knee multiple times, went to bed around 8:30/9 PM, got up once for a half hour, then woke up about 6:40AM (!) Tired.
On another front, I'll add this: Did the GC Rim to Rim hike years ago, starting down the Bright Angel Trail (and sorry for all the navel-gazing in this post...) https://socalhiker.smugmug.com/Hiking/041699-Grand-Canyon-Hike

My surgeon was strongly against icing or cooling the joint at all. While it may help with the discomfort, it slows the healing. In his way of seeing things, the high blood flow is needed to help the knee heal as well as possible.
But yeah, it's great that you're walking on it without trouble. With my first one, I remember being amazed that 3 weeks after the surgery I did a 2 mile hike with uneven terrain and some good elevation changes! So for day 5 that's really good!

Nicely done Bill. Haven't used Chilkat for a couple of years now but nice to know.
