I think Mattias only renamed it to prevent a name clash with packages provided by Linux distributions.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

That makes a lot of sense. On Debian I've had to lock package versions to prevent 'upgrades' which I didn't want.

The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of Lazarus 1.6.2. This is a bugfix release.

This release was built with FPC 3.0.0.
The previous release Lazarus 1.6.0 was built with FPC 3.0.0 too.

Here is the list of changes for Lazarus and Free Pascal:

The release is available for download on SourceForge:


Hello,
I switched from verze1.4.4 to version 1.6.2 and features UTF8ToAnsi not convert Czech accented characters, the character still has a length of two characters. Discuss where to complain or to replace it.

Thank you

Peter

I think Mattias only renamed it to prevent a name clash with packages provided by Linux distributions.

But, both are shown for download and the file sizes are slightly different, should I install both and if so, which order?

If not, which one to install then?

I dont know what Linux you are using, but I have found it easiest to let Synaptic install Lazarus. In Debian Stretch it's just a matter of selecting Lazarus 1.6.2 and click install. The right version of FPC and sources are installed automatically at the same time.

Just install one. They should be identical, I don't know what causes the size difference.
Anyway it is a valid question. I must ask Mattias about it.

Unfortunately many distributions have very old versions of FPC and Lazarus. Then the new packages provided here are important.

Another valid option is to get the fixes branch of latest Lazarus release through SVN. You then get its latest bug fixes. FPC 3 should be installed by other means then.
Lazarus is easy to build. Remember, it must be built in any case when installing packages. No big deal.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

Bros, I discovered stable versions of FPC/Lazarus (3/1.6) in Debian legacy repo. That's great! But how long to wait for stables in mainline repo?

That's a question best asked to Debian core. We don't control that.

Really strange. FPC satble is ONLY in _legacy_ _arm_ repo. Not in legacy x64 for ex.
Do you propose to write to Debian team?

Lazarus 1.6.2 and FPC 3.0.0 are in Debian testing. Just FYI.
Which means that they will find their way into the next stable.

I guess enabling the 'testing' Debian repository, or the backports, will give you 1.6.2/3.0.0.

Yep, already found it in backports repo. Thnx anyway!

I use Debian, but I never use the Debian implementation of Lazarus/FPC because they split up the installation into multiple small packages, for no apparent reason other than to make it more complicated than it needs to be. I use the .deb packages from the Lazarus downloads area (just three packages), and these work fine.

I start with just build-essential and fp-compiler and subversion. Then check out the sources and make clean all install for fpc.
I resolve package dependencies later on.

Specialize a type, not a var.
