We are happy to announce the release of the Free Pascal Compiler version
3.0.0 "Pestering Peacock".
Only out of (big) curiosity, version 3.0.0 was called "Pestering Peacock".QuoteWe are happy to announce the release of the Free Pascal Compiler version

What will be the name of 3.2.4 ?
( Or maybe "Pestering Peacock" is for all the 3.x.x versions, if so, sorry for the noise. )

There is none (though I personally think of 3.2.0 as “The Neverending Story”, cause it took so long from branch till release :-[ ). The name for 3.0.0 was an inside joke, cause at the hackathon we FPC devs had back in 2013 in Bingen we had a peacock as neighbour who has making rather annoying noises all day long (and 3.0.0 was the first release after that :P ).
By the way, personally I like when projects have name for release.
Like Debian ( a hero from Toy Story ) or Ubuntu ( a animal + his quality ).
While fun ...
From a version number you can determine the sequence of releases, from a name not.
IMHO regulating fun is not fun :-)

"Rambunctious Raven" is good, but likely not characteristic of a stable branch.
The complete sentece is "chi va piano va sano e va lontano" :D

Q: FPC 3.0.0 was named "Pestering Peacock".
What should FPC 3.2.4 be named?
A: As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or make decisions, but here are a few suggestions for naming FPC 3.2.4:
Soaring Swallow
Gliding Gull
Majestic Magpie
Radiant Raven
Fluttering Falcon
Regal Roc
Nimble Nuthatch
Swift Sparrow
Majestic Mallard
Effervescent Eagle.
It's up to the developers of FPC to choose a name that they think is appropriate for their software release.
happy to see other italians here :)
This discussion is moot. Think about it: Why introduce names? It is, for instance, useful when you provide support for multiple versions at the same time (e. g. in the Debian context stable and oldstable). The name is handier for the mortal user in lieu of a string of “abstract numbers”. However, to my knowledge as far as the FPC is concerned, once there is a new release any previous release reaches EOL, thus is not supported anymore. Therefore, assigning names is pure vanity. I think we can skip that.[…] By the way, personally I like when projects have name for release. […][…] What will be the name of 3.2.4 ? […]There is none […] The name for 3.0.0 was an inside joke […]

Ciao Simone, I don't think we are alone!
A Latin name is suggestive, after all 'Lazarus' is a latinized name.

Huh, if I may, Lazarus name has Hebrew origin and means "God has helped".

What you say is correct. 'Lazarus' is the latinized form of a Hebrew name.
