ICS is available as source code only. You need Delphi to build the sample programs and create your own application. You will also need OpenSSL libraries if using SSL-enabled components.

ICS versions available:

  • ICS-V7 for Delphi 7 / C++Builder 2006 to Delphi/C++Builder XE (main development tree).
  • ICS-V6 for Delphi 7 / C++Builder 2006 to Delphi/C++Builder 2007 (discontinued and obsolete, please upgrade to V7 if you do not have to support Windows versions < W2K).
  • ICS-V5 for Delphi/BCB 1 to Delphi/C++Builder 2007 and Delphi .NET (discontinued, important bug fixes may still be backported from ICS-V7). SSL option requires at least Delphi 7 or C++Builder 2006.

There are four options to obtain the source code.

CodeGear's Partner DVD Shipped with Delphi / C++Builder (not recommended)

This is probably not such a good idea, since it is likely to be an old version, built at the time this Delphi / C++Builder version was released.

Overbyte Website

Download from Overbyte web site

Provides download links to latest stable releases or beta versions. This is a safe choice if you use ICS-V5 or ICS-V6. ICS-V7 however is still work in progress and it's likely the best choice to either checkout head revision of the version control repository or to download the daily snapshot from below. Note that ICS-V7 is the only ICS supporting Delphi and C++Builder 2009/2010/XE.

Zipped Daily Snapshots

This is the easiest way to get the latest version. These packages are built from the version control repositories automatically when they change and are refreshed once a day.

Version Control System

Using the version control repository is the best choice if you want to get live access to current development files. Overbyte uses a Subversion server and you need to use a Subversion client such as TortoiseSVN or your favorite browser. The URLs are as follows:

ICS Version SVN URL HTTP URL
ICS-V7 svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics/trunk http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics/trunk
ICS-V6 svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics/tags/v6_obsolete http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics/tags/v6_obsolete
ICS-V5 svn://svn.overbyte.be/icsv5 http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/icsv5

Use username = ics and password = ics for read access. Write access is only available to TeamICS.

2010-05-08 OpenSSL libraries and EXE v0.9.8n Built with MinGW Renegotiation support was re-enabled and RFC-5746 TLS renegotiation indication extension was implemented. It's also possible to enable unsafe legacy renegotiation explicitly by setting new option sslOpt_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION of TSslContext.
2009-06-11 OpenSSL libraries and EXE v0.9.8L Built with MinGW Renegotiation support was disabled due to vulnerability of the SSL protocol - this fixes a severe security problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all renegotiation. If your application relied on session renegotiation OpenSSL v0.9.8L will break it. Enabling insecure renegotiation is not recommended.

Download OpenSSL Binaries (alternative)

OpenSSL website also links to Win32OpenSSL website providing another build of Win32 DLL binaries. Note note that unlike the builds above builds on that site may have dependencies on Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables (to keep dll files smaller) so make sure you include all the required (and correct) redistributable files in your software installation. You probably don't have to care about that if you use binaries above at the cost of slightly larger DLLs. Also note that site does not keep archives of older versions so you may want to watch their page if you prefer their binaries.
