¡Gracias por vuestro trabajo!

Hello.. I´ve downloaded and installed Lazarus 2.0.6 x32 from sourceforge.net but Kaspersky found a Trojan-downloader.win32-upatre.iekl.. Did someone already reported?

See attachement.

Thanks

I believe this is a false positive. I reported it with Kaspersky. You may choose to wait until they update their AV.

It is likely that some AV (on virustotal) share the database with Kaspersky.

Thanks a lot!

Also if I strip the lazarus.exe
 ./fpc/3.0.4/bin/i386-win32/strip.exe lazarus.exe

Then reports are clean.
That means the offending byte sequence is in the debuginfo.
The debug info is normally not executed. Of course a virus could hide there and have a loader in the normal code. Unlikely though that it hides in the debug info without encrypting/scrambling to avoid detection... .My 2 cents)

Perfect!! How about generate a new lazarus install file with the lazarus.exe file already stripped? That sounds great !!

About my posts, do you want me do delete them after we found a solution for it?

Thanks!
Renato

[Martin_fr]

keep the posts. Others may want to read up on it.

The installer always has debug info... But I uploaded a copy of the exe to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus-snapshots/files/Window%2032/2.0.6%20stripped%20lazarus.exe/

You can also rebuild the exe with lazbuild (which is part of the install too). But I would need to search the wiki for the steps.

Or if you can stop your AV from deleting the exe, you can strip it yourself. strip is part of the install, or can be used from any previous install, or downloaded from various sites on the net (including the fpc svn somewhere....)

Thanks! Have a good one.

  Good news 😘😘😘💖💖💖

Thanks.

It works like a charm on macOS Sierra, but on macOS Mojave I got the following error after trying to compile a simple demo app:

controls.pp(473,1) Error: Internal error 200611031

However, after recompiling the IDE it works well now. This hint may be useful for other Mac users.

Kaspersky confirmed that it was a false detection. They will update their signatures

I just installed the 2.0.6 on a Win10 PRo,

 It seems for what ever reason nothing that has been talked about being merged in this release, actually is there ?

  For me it looks exactly like the 2.0.4 with no changes except for what the release build and version number is.

 I have been waiting for this release to come out because there were a few things that were claimed to be fixed, I don't see any of it ?

 1. The LazHelp file is in error, I fixed that and posted the fix some time ago, never made it.

 2. The TShellTreeView was suppose to have an added OnAddItem event, never made it.

 3. The LABEL editing on the form has issues with auto sizing and word wrap, that was suppose to be fixed ? Never made it.

 so for the short term I am not going to bother down loading 2.0.6 for the other PC's I use because there isn't any difference that I can see? The one I did today I'll over write the source files with the corrected one's I fixed I guess and leave the others as is for now..

 Thanks for the hard work but if there was something that actually changed other than the version number I am not seeing it.

2. The TShellTreeView was suppose to have an added OnAddItem event, never made it.

No, it was NOT supposed to have that in fixes branch, as I have explained to you before.
It is not a bugfix but a new feature, and therefore does not belong in the fixes branch.

If you really need this, you're probably OK with just copying shellctrsl.pas from trunk (nothing much else has changed).

There seem to be quite a lot of fixes, though most are not "visible" (at least on most widgetsets) but internal to the IDE.

I have a lot more testing to do yet*, but I like most of what I'm seeing.

* We have just ended the update to 2.0.4 (a bare month or so ago) in all our dev machines. You release too quickly for us
