Is there a TeeChart 7.08? 7.07 is the latest I can find.
Steema has created a confusing situation - we have asked them to clear this
up. Though the download page still says 7.07, the Delphi 2006 download link
is for TeeChart 7.08. (note: this applies to Delphi 2006 only, all other
downloads are still 7.07)
We inquired about this prior to building RB 10.04. We were getting questions
from developers about Delphi 2006 and TeeChart 7.08 comapatbility. Steeam
replied that they made some changes to fix some Delphi 2006 specific issues.
