The case

I'm trying to update the INDY to the latest version for my Delphi XE (Update 1), so I downloaded the latest INDY10 file (Indy_4545.zip) from indy.fulgan.com/ZIP.

The packages compiles successfully and I can now even see the new version 10.5.8.0 on the about box dialog, but after a IDE restart I got a message saying:

No se encuentra el punto de entrada del procedimiento @Idhttp@TIdCustomHTTP@GetRequestHeaders$qqrv en la biblioteca de vínculos dinámicos IndyProtocols150.bpl.

My free translation to English:

Entry point not found for procedure @Idhttp@TIdCustomHTTP@GetRequestHeaders$qqrv not found on the dynamic link library IndyProtocols150.bpl.

After a quick comparision of old and new IdHTTP.pas I found a lot of changes on the TIdCustomHttp class, including the rename of some methods

• GetResponseHeaders to GetResponse
• GetRequestHeaders to GetRequest
• SetRequestHeaders to SetRequest

Along with changed public/published method firms in this and other and classes interfaces.

After the update, I got a lot of packages failing to load, including dclcxPivotGridOLAPD15.bpl, which in turns depends on dclDataSnapServer150.bpl which encounters the missing method on the bpl.

AFAIK I can't recompile the dclDataSnapServer150.bpl (and maybe other failing packages, I just stopped here).

DataSnap and DevExpress support on the IDE is a must for my day to day so

The questions

1. Is there a safe pre-established path to update to the newest INDY for Delphi XE?
2. If not, am I on the safe side by just parching the source code by creating the old public methods and call the new ones on the implementation part?
3. am I missing something else or am I really stuck with INDY 10.5.7 until the next Delphi minor/major release?
