For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
Question: I’m using the LoadPfxFile method of the cert object and it takes about 4 or 5 seconds in load the PFX certificate. On the other hand, if I sign the document using an installed certificate, it’s instantaneous. Why does LoadPfxFile take so much time? Is there a way to reduce the loadPfxFile time? Answer: […]

Chilkat classes that involve network communications can use callbacks. This blog post describes the CkHttp AbortCheck callback. An application can request periodic AbortCheck callbacks according to the HeartbeatMs property setting. (If HeartbeatMs = 0, then no AbortCheck callbacks will occur.) For example:
This post shows some code snippets for getting data from Delphi Byte arrays (TBytes) and TMemoryStream’s in and out of Chilkat. First, here are some code snippets to convert from a TMemoryStream to a byte array, and back. Delphi TBytes to TMemoryStream

With Chilkat, you can usually generate sample code by pasting the sample request, and the body of the sample […]
