TDAOMediaPlayer and TDAOMediaPlayerScreen components play Audio and Video directly from a Field in some Table of the Database.
Parameters for Stored Procs supported now (Property: TDAORecordSet. StoredProcParameters - No Help so far)
New Field Type TDAOCurrencyField. The standard Delphi TCurrencyField interprets Access Currency Fields as Double not as Currency.

Passwords are now stored to the Resource File (*.dfm) encrypted. If you have used Password in DAOWorkspace Components you have to correct them once since they will be decrypted from correct representation. I used an encryption algorithm that should be save enough for this purpose.
Values of Byte Fields are shown correctly now.
Support of Stored Procedures. You can use selecting and modifying stored procedures with GMDao now. But no parameterized ones are supported too.
TeeChart Editor Component included.

New Feature:The following features can be used directly from the Delphi IDE now:

I have not examined the technical capabilities of these components, which may be very good. The developer indicates that he has removed all known bugs.

User feedback about this product has been positive.
