The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of Lazarus 1.2.4.
This release was built with fpc 2.6.4.
The previous release 1.2.2 was built with 2.6.4 too, the release 1.2.0
was built with fpc 2.6.2.
Here is the list of changes for Lazarus and Free Pascal:

for more details.
Minimum requirements:
Windows: 98
FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit
Mac OS X: 10.5 for Intel cpus, 10.4 for PowerPC, LCL only 32bit,
non LCL apps can be 64bit

Thanks!!!! ;)

Excellent. Thank you.
-
Thanks a lot.
-
Downloading...
Many Thanks.
Keep it up Lazarus Team.
-
Great news!
-
thank you guys , Lazarus 4 ever
-
Many thanks for this. You guys don't stand still do you? :D
SourceForge thinks 1.2.2 is still the latest (I'm on Win 7/64bit). I had to navigate to the 1.2.4 folder to download.
-
I have downloaded it, it runs fine, except that it contains the same problem with Ubuntu, forms can't be resized at design time, this has been introduced in Lazarus version 1.2.2
-
Thanks for updating it guys :)

Have you got a bug report for that?
-
congrats!
-
Have you got a bug report for that?
no, because I haven't the latest trunk version
should I report it anyway?
-
Sure, it's nice if you can also test if the behaviour still occurs on trunk but it's not required.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks guys! Awesome! :D

I've successfully installed Lazarus 1.2.4 (Win32) under Linux + Wine 1.7.19.

It is fixed.

That's an interesting possibility for me, as an alternative to installing Windows in a virtual machine.

I just did the same with Wine 1.6.2 with absolutely no problems. A test project compiled and executed just fine.

Thanks you very much

Sorry, I do not where I can make a question. I need generate 64 bits application in the new version of Lazarus. I installed theIDE of 32 bits and installed in another directory the add-on for win64. I do not find where in the IDE I must activate the add-on or how is the manner for 64 bits application and the depuration because I generate 64 bits applications before in Lazarus, but the message of release notice that is necessary use 32 IDE. Thanks for your comments.

Sorry, I do not where I can make a question.
start a new thread at "using the lazarus IDE"\general sub forum.
-
It is fixed.
Thanks Zeljko
Are you Zeljan from Croatia? that I have thought it is one of west Rassia countries?
-
It is fixed.

Yes

Nice work! Lazarus 1.2.4 32bit. openSuSe 13.1 Gnome 32bit, Win7 Ultimate 32bit,
with Firebird 2.5. Thank you very much!
Best regards

Спасибо Товарищи!

Many thanks to the Lazarus Team for this great work!!
-
Had to download and test newest, anyway
Thanks a lot for your work!

thank you! very satisfied. :)

Hello !
I confirm that MD5 unit do not permit to compile first time on Windows 32 and 64 bits.
I have put the compiling solution here :

Please post a bug report if you find problems like this including details of what you did.
Thanks.

Does debugging work as well?

I added some questions to the bug report as it was a bit unclear. Thanks.

The necessity of recompilation with Lazarus when adding new packages/components is not touted as an advantage. It is a result of the IDE being truly cross-platform, and so not able to rely on Windows dll trickery to add component packages (.bpl-type packages) dynamically on-the-fly. What Delphi does with Windows .bpls cannot be done with Linux .so or Mac .dylib libraries transparently or effortlessly.
It is possible that some clever FPC/Lazarus developers will implement this in a cross-platform way in the future, but it is a hope, not a guarantee.
Although Delphi can now compile for a few non-Windows platforms, the IDE remains a Windows executable, and so is able to communicate with design and runtime packages dynamically.
However one advantage of the Lazarus approach is that you can recompile a new IDE and run the latest trunk version (surprisingly stable) in only a few seconds to get cutting edge functionality, without paying a cent, or waiting for a commercial release cycle for a new version. If Lazarus were a C++ compiler/IDE that took several minutes to recompile, this would clearly be a serious disadvantage, but with the Pascal recompilation time on modern machines being only a few seconds, the apparent disadvantage means little.
-
Seems like a feature that was added at the expense of simplicity.
No it wasn't. As Howard explained, it was out of necessity.
-
What necessity? My assertion was why hide components at all. What is the justification for that? And yes, I understand cross-platform compatibility... but regardless of which platform I program in, I wouldn't understand or expect why some components are hidden based on the form or unit or module I am currently working with.
I guess BigChimp points to the recompilation. Regarding component hiding, installing a component package shouldn't hide existing one unless it's removed as well while installing the new one. What may happen is that some components are hidden because it has no meaning (and might cause problems) in certain designer environment. For example, it's meaningless to drop a TButton to a data module since it violates the purpose of data module and even it can't be initialized properly.

Hey, congrats for Lazarus 1.2.4!
I've developed a component for Laz-1.2.0 and it was a relief to see it compiling and installing flawlessly in Laz-1.2.4!
But do you have some idea of when the next release will be available? And would that be the trunk version?
-
Lazarus kicks ass 8-)

Is there no 1.2.4 release for OS X PowerPC? The website seems to imply there is, but the Sourceforge link provided on the download page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Mac%20OS%20X%20powerpc/Lazarus%201.2.4/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Mac%20OS%20X%20powerpc/Lazarus%201.2.4/)) does not seem to exist, and 1.2.2 is the latest listed on http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Mac%20OS%20X%20powerpc/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Mac%20OS%20X%20powerpc/).

Many thanks :D

Lazarus for me very good
But Lazarus could have a project
create desktop application using HTML5 feature to create a graphical user interface and control is the responsibility of pascal
I could work to create the logic of the program in pascal and create the graphical interface in HTML5
GUI widgets lazarus is good HTML5 will be more better
I'm not talking about the CGI that needs a browser
Design example http://appjs.com/
In JavaFX already have this feature
sorry not speak english and beginner in programming
