I can install this lazarus on top of the 1.4.0 or I must uninstall and install it.

Also I have the Lazarus for Windows 32 bits with CrossCompiler for 64 bit.

Thx. 

I see at least one bug fix that's not listed. But i'm 99% sure it's also merged (rev 49114).

49114 (SynEdit caret) was only broken in 1.4 fixes. So the fix is in 1.4.2. There was no fix needed for trunk (1.5)

So technically it wasn't merged. That would have required it to be on trunk first.

Thanks,

I give it a try ... (will post, either way) ...
[Edit]
Installed it right over 1.4.0 (32-bit on  Win7 x64)
On first compile, problems with Indy 10.2.x (deal with that later)
Second compile fine
32-bit works,
64-bit xCompile works.
seems OK ....
So a BIG THANKS goes to the developers (Y)

[Deepaak]

big welcome for laz team. :-)
When we will get a new compiler. Its belng a long time we are working on 2.6.4. Eagerly waiting for FPC 2.8 / 3.0

Thank you all the Lazarus Team!!

Well, I think the features & functions of Lazarus are already good enough for us to do anything except for some minor bug fixes. What I am waiting for is the next FPC(2.8? 3.0?) features supporting.....

Thanks again for such a good thing!

Thanks to the team for the great work!

For those who are impatient waiting for the new features in FPC 3.+ the fixes branch can be installed with fcpup (without any parameters). I just updated my Win7 VM today to Lazarus 1.4.3/(FPC 3.0.1).

[SnoopyDog]

For some reason SourceForge is messed up right now since hours. It shows Version 1.2.6 as the actual version and Lazarus 1.4RC3 is the most recent folder for all OS...

[BeniBela]

The hosted webpages are completely gone, e.g. http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/

Confirmed, 1.4.2 rlelease is missing on SF though it is available here:
ftp://freepascal.dfmk.hu/pub/lazarus/releases/

Sourceforge is in maintenance mode if you are lucky, down if not. Evidently, they are having problems.

Hello and thank you for this update
However, I disable the "r49170 LCL-Win: Prevent Flicker in TListBox" because it created an overexposure effect on Lisbox implanted in a TPageControl.

Please post a screenshot. Does the "overexposure" occur with standard listbox drawing or only with ownerdraw styles?

Does it look like this, then I got the same problem.
