Hi
Thanks and specially for the new ReadMe.txt, saving our time !
Could you also please add a note in some of the hardware nodes, to explain shortly to dummies like me the exact meanings of i386, amd64 et c...
It is not obvious to select amd when you know you have an intel processor.
When we try to "execute" the fpc_2.6.0-120728_amd64.deb on Ubuntu 12.04 (and probably others), we get a warning saying "the package is of bad quality. The package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20."
I know this should not be a true issue, but It would be better to correct this...
Regards

does it soport ruta with unicode like /españa/中文/english?

Wow! I really feel for you because of the restrictions (i.e blocked sites) you have to live with just because you live in Sudan. It is completely ridiculous. I wonder if it is the same with Chinese Lazarus users.
-
SF is not blocked from Sudan, but SF is blocking Sudanese from downloading software by default, but not all software in SF are blocked, for instance we can download FireBird from SF. I think Lazarus team could change this default restriction and enable us to download Lazarus from there.
Most of US companies are blocking us to access their sites like Embarcadero, Oracle, Google, except Microsoft, we can download anything from Microsoft site, I don't know why.
-
The Lazarus team cannot change this restriction unless it falsely claims that
This project does NOT incorporate, access, call upon, or otherwise use encryption of any kind, including, but not limited to, open source algorithms and/or calls to encryption in the operating system or underlying platform.
The windows installers include units offered by the fpc team, which among others, contains the blowfish (http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/fcl/blowfish/index.html) unit.

After installing Free Pascal I get this error when I try to install Lazarus RC2:
error: Failed dependencies:
fpc = 2.6.0-2.fc17 is needed by lazarus-1.0RC2-0.i386
I installed Free Pascal as I always do and didn't have this problem when I installed RC1.
I installing on OpenSuse 12.1.
-
In the changelog you say:
SQLDB
Added mssql connectors (supports Microsoft SQL Server), requires fpc 2.6.1+
Added sybase connectors (supports Sybase ASE), requires fpc 2.6.1+
Added mysql 5.5 connector, requires fpc 2.6.1+
but on debian 64 bit RC2 has not those connectors :( is available just for windows? there is a freetds implementation for linux too,
any hint?
-
Those connectors are only available if compiled with fpc 2.6.1 and later.
From the announcement:
This release has been built with fpc 2.6.0 (the former release 0.9.30.4 was
built with that too).
So you can get those connectors, if you use a fpc development version.
-
there exists a bug in lazreport (0022506) i cant image a release version without fix that bug.
-
good release its much stable
in your TODO list arn't there intention to make lazarus looks like delphi now days , the idea of separate windows like delphi7 is ok , but the new look of delphi now days (all in one window) is much better .
good luck

Sorry. My fault. I built the rpm on a machine with the fc17 fpc rpm.
I uploaded a new Lazarus rpm that was built with the fpc rpm from sf. Please test.

Thanks.
But, I used the --nodeps switch when installing Lazarus and it installed and works fine.
I, also, did install the Ubuntu .debs and they installed fine.
-
A quality release. Win7 Pro 32 bit. Kudo's to all involved.
-
I just saw that it supports PPC Macs again. Great!

in your TODO list arn't there intention to make lazarus looks like delphi now days , the idea of separate windows like delphi7 is ok , but the new look of delphi now days (all in one window) is much better .
I installed the AnchorDockingDsgn package in the IDE, this gives you an interface similar to Delphi 2006+. There is also another package, easydockmgr, that can be installed. Haven't tried it though. These packages are part of Lazarus but are not installed by default.

AnchorDocking seems real good now, EasyDockMgr also works but I've found it quirky on Linux although it worked fine on Windows. AnchorDocking used to be unstable in the past, but now I prefer it to EasyDockMgr because it works flawlessly, which the other does not (yet).
Anyway, Lazarus comes with not one, but two solutions for the docked windows. And the third one is also almost finished ;)
-
Nice Job! Thank FPC team and Lazarus team for the efforts for these two project. You make pascal be my most love language. THANK YOU!!
-
I installed the AnchorDockingDsgn package in the IDE, this gives you an interface similar to Delphi 2006+
i've install it but it broke every things , even i couldn't restor the old lazarus looking ,so i had to reinstall lazarus again .
-
That's strange, for me it has worked fine for a while. BTW you don't have to reinstall Lazarus if a component breaks it - just do 'make' in its directory and it will build a minimal, working ide. Then just uninstall the offending package and rebuild.
-
i've found the problem , the component manualdock was installed already and it cause this problem , now i install only AnchorDockingDsgn and every thing working good
thanks
-
i've found something looks much better than all the previous packages
check out

Sound interesting..
If any body test this package please tell us about it, is it stable? is it cross platform?

Bug: in a new empty project, where I enable Project Options/Compiler Options/Verbosity:
Show Errors (-ve)
Show Warnings (-vw)
Show notes (-vn)
Show hints (-vh)
Show general info (-vi)
Show line numbers (-vl)
Show all procs on error (-vb)
Show hints for unused units in main (none)
Show defined macros (-vm)
Show conditionals (-vc)
Stop after number of errors: (-Se)
1
On compiling, I get an error:
Error: Illegal parameter: -vewnhilbmc
If:
- I disable Show conditionals (-vc) and leave Show defined macros (-vm) enabled
(=> this looks like bug http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15872 (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15872))
or
- I disable Show defined macros (-vm) and leave Show conditionals (-vc) enabled
or
- I disable both Show defined macros (-vm) and Show conditionals (-vc)
this does not happen.

Hey, that's an old bug of mine. Should I get my hands dirty to fix it? :p
-
:)
I'm sure help will be appreciated ;)... and if you can solve the -vc case as well, even more ;)
-
-vc works, it's only -vm that's problematic
-

Umm yes, sorry, you're right.
Well, it's a known bug, it's been assigned, and apparently not a showstopper for 1.0 (otherwise it would have been fixed).... not that important ;)
-
Yeah, seems like not many people even play with Verbosity options. I need to ask FPC devs regarding -vm since this <x> and <y> thing aren't documented (or I can't find the documentation).
EDIT: found it in fpc -vq

Updated issue with patch. Seems to work ok on Win64/FPC 2.6.1 x86+Laz trunk

I think it's because of some stupid US law regarding encryption. FPC at least contains some encryption methods which might fall into this category. That's the thing I noticed when on SF tho, it might be something else as well. You should be able to get the files elsewhere too tho, IIRC both projects have their own hostings (at least for sources)
-
Thanks Almindor for your concern.
I found the same packages in sourceforge Japan, it contains the most important projects files, like Lazarus. Also Lazarus team had provided an alternative download mirror.
I have left Delphi after 14 years of usage because of US embargo to Sudan.

Ever since the RC1 I have been seeing an issue with the MainMenu component.
In Windows XP/7 I don't see the underline for the menu items. Such as &File : File.
In MAC OS X the main menu bar disappears or only shows a few of the Menu items on the bar, I can do several things to bring it back, like minimize the application and then restoring it. This happens when I run the application outside of Lazarus. Inside of Lazarus it runs fine.
On Unity in Ubuntu I see the underscore on the sub-menu items only, maybe this is the way it's suppose to work? Like File which is a top level menu item on the bar does not show the underline under the F. And in OpenSuse I see the same as I do in Windows, no underlines for menu items.
I can't be the only one seeing these issues, but I haven't seen anyone reporting them. So is it just me? And on three of the OSes? Windows, Linux, and MAC OS X (Carbon) 10.6.4.
OK, I found some posts with these issues:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=16183.0
It would seem that I hadn't noticed this before, how odd.

You can turn on the docking support in the IDE and have a similar look and feel to the newer versions of Delphi.

i can see the final release uploaded 5 hours ago :)
is it True ?

Apart from the Windows versions... probably the devs are working on that before sending out a formal release announcement ;)
I have a hunch the release may be done in time for the September 1st Dutch Pascal conference day ;)

I can see it too!
This is great day for Lazarus!!!
They keep it as a secret! ;)
Many, many congratulations to Lazarus team!!!! :)

The Windows 64 bit version finally up less than 30 minutes ago, and the 32 bit up less than 10 minutes ago. This is great timing for me to stop by today! I've been waiting for this a long time.
Glad to see it finally here! I'm happy enough I finally signed up for an account.

Ever since the RC1 I have been seeing an issue with the MainMenu component.
In Windows XP/7 I don't see the underline for the menu items. Such as &File : File.
What I see (on Win 7) is that the [Alt] key toggles display of the accelerator key underlining.
So you may not see the underlining when the IDE first loads until you press [Alt].
-
DO we need to uninstalled the previous release of Lazrus before installing 1.0?

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone know why it is like this? I am trying to find info, if anyone can point me to a link or two I would appreciate it.
-

If you install to the same folder and your las install was 0.9.30.x: No, it should work without.
If you used snapshots, it may work, but it may not.
-
Thanks martin. I'm doing the install right now.

I am finding that the description column in the ToDo list is too wide such that it is forcing use of the scrollbar to view the other columns to its right.
I have also noticed that -Xg is not set as a default project build option and was wondering if it should be, so that new users don't get horrified when they see the size of the executable. Also, all the examples still don't use this option. And it is not yet mentioned in section 3.5 of the Free Pascal User's Guide.
I have installed RC2 on XP SP2
-
Default project settings seem unchanged since years ago. Is there any feature request on this anyway? All the examples are created using the default project settings and ain't gonna change unless somebody asks a feature request for it (and/or willing to send a patch, I don't think it's critical and the developers are unlikely willing to implement it even if it's accepted. big chance the priority would be set post 1.2 version).
-
Having projects set up with a Default (or Production) and a Debug option (with debugging enabled, line numbers, less optimalization) would be a very sensible solution for me.
I don't care that much which one of those options then is set to default.
Don't know of any bug report; agreed with Leledumbo that sending in a patch for this would be the fastest way of getting things done but unlikely to be backported to earlier releases than current Lazarus trunk.

I request for this feature in the BugTracker a while back and the developers added the option to create several build modes for projects. This was done as far back as 0.9. It is not a default feature but it can be done. For instance, on my installation, I have Debug & Release build modes for various OS (Win32, Win64 & Linux). And it works!

Hi JD!
Thanks for the link! I just learned about build modes. Using similar settings my little sandbox project compiled to about 35 MB in Debug Mode and only 3.8 MB in release mode. Wow!
Thanks for requesting the build modes and then showing me (us?) how to se them.

This is what my IDE looks like when project build modes are set up.

Again. I leanred something new! Thanks :)
