Hello,
I have written several times in this forum that the heart of Wampmanager (The Wampserver Manager) is Aestan Tray Menu designed by Onno Broekmans and compiled with Borland Delphi 6.
wampmanager.exe, the icon you see in the system tray, basically generates the initialization file wampmanager.ini from instructions held in the wampmanager.tpl file which allows us to create menus and submenus via the right-click and left-click on the Wampmanager icon.
The items in these menus can perform multiple tasks: display a text, launch an executable or a PHP script with parameter passing, start and stop services, etc.
The development of Aestan Tray Menu was stopped with version 1.6.2.37 of 3/9/2008. Since then, Aestan Tray Menu has been used on many versions of Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 in 32 and 64 bit, without any problems.
It has managed Apache from V2.2.6 to V2.4.41, PHP from V5.2.17 to V7.4.0, MySQL from V5.0.45 to V8.0.17 and their respective services without missing a beat. Going back a little further in time, Aestan Tray Menu supported Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.
On this and other forums, I have expressed my concern several times that with the successive evolutions of Windows, Aestan Tray Menu may no longer work properly and that then it would mean the demise of Wampserver. Aestan Tray Menu having been transferred to the Public Domain by its designer, Onno Broekmans, I looked at the source, but I quickly understood that I had neither the skills nor the recent tools essential for a recompilation.
Then, one day, on June 25 2019, on a forum I frequent, I saw with amazement in a message from a participant, Maximus23 this post: "Following the update of windows 10 I had some errors with "Aestan Tray Menu" so I started fixing some things and I recompiled everything which was not an easy task."
From there, I began work as tester of this new Aestan Tray Menu. I created problem reports, requests for modifications and/or additions to which Maximus23 responded with rigour, tenacity and perseverance, going so far as to completely rewrite the libraries used. Maximus23 has also completely rewritten the error handler so now an error is clearly displayed and no longer crashes Aestan Tray Menu, moreover, the error text is automatically copied to the clipboard.
As the compiler used is now Delphi Community Edition 10.3.1, Maximus23 has compiled a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of Aestan Tray Menu.
These two versions will be used in WAMPServer V3.2.0 and above.
A huge thank you to Maximus23.
