New Release of Delphi Compatible Professional RAD IDE;

- these are not very clear when including only LCL Components and using the brain on organizing the available commands to perform the customization of the presentation in logics of the Form Designer;
- which what would to expect on going out of this focus to understanding concepts of licenses which are not part of the workflow doing programming;
- resulting on unknown interests from the resulted EXE project[ and derivate Folder Files ] which how to proceed on understanding the concept of cease installation of Lazarus-IDE before going any further by presenting custom blogs and such for promoting the download of the compiled EXE file;

thanks;

Great work Lazarus team! :)
I noticed on first use of a  vanilla 2.0.0 installation (Linux 64-bit) that the default key mapping had a built-in conflict with two key combinations allocated to Ctrl+Alt+O. A very minor oversight...

It's already fixed in Trunk. Unfortunately it was too late for 2.0.0.

I start the EXE, and it close without error message.
This message is only showing with debugger, direct after start debug session, the form is not showing.

My code works good with Laz 1.8.4 an my code compile with 0 warnings (null, zero).
But with Laz 2.0.0, it crashes before the i can see the form.

Sorry, my code is a little bigger, only the main formular has 58655 code lines and the .lfm file has 52747 lines.

If my application works with a new lazarus, you can be sure, 99,999% is lazarus free from bugs. I'm the one from the million where can find out all what you need  >:D O:-)

PS: I have write this bug in the thread from RC3 - but it was ignored.

If I get you right, then your code is in some event ( OnClick of some component?).
And you say that in 2.0.0 the event is fired while the form.create is still running, while in previous 1.8.4 it was not?

If that is the case, it is unfortunate this was not noticed with the release candidates... But anyway.

You should be able to
- provide a stacktrace
- provide a small example
  You should know the component, therefore be able to put it on a form, and be able to compare when the event is fired.
  In the example you may have to modify the same properties of that component (in OI) as you have done in your app. In case the event may depend on it.

With this data, you can then open a bugreport please.

Sorry if it got missed. The anouncments get a lot of replies.

EDIT 2:
I found a reference to the German forum, that is the one you mean?
This is real unfortunate, the issue was even looked into. But somehow got lost somewhere. I still have the references what needs to be done.

@mmvisual

Looks like the TCheckBox is not testing for the state of the control  "csLoading" for example, before calling
the Onclick event.

 can you perform this same test in your OnClick handler to avoid this ? If it solves the issue then
maybe it can get fixed.

Just to prove I read the release notes ....

A change of name for the DEB files  !

Previously, if you were lucky enough to have your (DEB Based) distro include FPC 3.0.4 you could use your package manager to install FPC and then pull down one of the SourceForge Lazarus deb files and install them.

However, we now see fpc as being two different beasts, the distro based fpc and the sourceforge fpc-laz. I don't know if its possible to install both (I really hope not!).

In a way, I see this change as a good thing, it now makes very clear choices between using your distro's packages or the (probably more current) SourceForge ones.

If you build Lazarus from source its still fine to use the fpc Ubuntu package repo and probably will be until the Laz developers decide to use a new FPC.

And I need to make some updates to my draft HowTo http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_Linux - but thats a good thing !

I feel a bit disingenuous to complain but it seems this bug https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34795

did not get fixed before release ?  Its marked as 'resolved' and at r60064

It can crash a Linux app if an end user does what is a quite reasonable thing, attempt to paste an image into a TPicture.

Unfortunately, it seems the change didn't make it to 2.0.0 release.
The best option is to use the fixes branch or trunk to compile your release.

I understand but unfortunately some fixes didn't make it to the current major release probably because of time constraints.

Why didn't you complain before the 2.0.0 release? You have had 1 month time to do so. You can always check what fixes are applied into the fixes branch in the SVN or http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.0_fixes_branch (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.0_fixes_branch).

Thanks for the release. A few installation issues appeared.

I did a side-by-side 32-bit install to 1.8.4 on Win10-64, so got the dialog for config file version conflict and to use the --pcp option for having 2 installs, which I did using the Windows-R Run dialog. After doing this Laz2 does not remember this was set on the previous run and to use the new config directory when it starts. I had to manually edit the startup shortcut to use the option on each invoke.

Also, it would be nice if the installer asked which top menu name/shortcut name prefix should be used when a previous installation is detected but not being upgraded and overwritten, so the shortcuts and menus from existing version aren't affected.

In case thats a genuine question -
1. It was marked as resolved and applied  in the bug tracker, I thought that enough to be sure it was 'happening'.
2. My only previous experience with releases was 1.8.4, there were 5 release candidates there. And there were statements to the effect, test now ...

I was aware it was not fixed in RC3, I do test the release candidates and I do report problems when I see them. But endless nagging is not welcome nor productive.

I might add I have no particular interest in this bug, my project does not do any images. I came across it, reported it, helped track it down. And now mention that its present in 2.0.0 and might affect someone else. And for that I blamed ! OK.

Maybe we need to work on how/that we communicate release candidate schedules.

Also at the moment there is little extra organization how regressions are handled. That is everyone is committed to fix them of course. But there is no central checking point to ensure all known regression are fixed (as far as possible).

The RCs are announced. Bug reports and regression reports are mixed with other postings here on the forum. A few are posted on the mail list. Some are reported on mantis, but they are not marked there as regressions. So they occasionally get lost.

Need to see what can be done.

Ah, very useful indeed. I'll book mark that and watch for the bug, if it does not show up, I'll yell out !

And I do think it would be useful to announcement formal release is imminent, something along the lines of "RC3 is looking like it folks." Just "process improvement", not a complaint. Given the fabulous job done by a bunch of volunteers, I'm not silly enough to complain !

So first of all thank you to all contributors for next release!

May I ask a question just fro my understanding, I have some calcaulator form in my application and of course I'm handling "division by zero" cases by "try except" section, however after update to 2.0 I've found that instead of "exceptions" it's become assigning a "+Inf" as value. After some investigation I've found a thread on forum about explanation and tip how to deal it by excluding TFPUExceptionMask's option - exZeroDivide. My question is, if it really old behavior of FPC/Lazarus why that's was not happened before in Lazarus 1.8.2 on the same PC?

Thank you in advance.

You should NOT need to edit the properties of the shortcut(s) to add pcp.

If you click on "secondary install" you will be ask for a config dir. This config dir is stored inside the lazarus dir, in a file called lazarus.cfg.

Secondary install applies to same version numbers, i.e. 2.0 release and 2.0 fixes; installer was complaining "base version not found" or some such when I tried that option. This "lazarus.cfg" file is not mentioned as what is checked for in addition to the default dir, or its format if someone wants create or edit it manually, that I've seen in the docs. The --pcp option doesn't create it either, apparently only the installer does. It also does not have a location entry in Options/Environment/Files dialog pane, so side-by-sides of the same version can share a config file if they want, for this .cfg or the config file itself directly.

Yes, the menu shortcuts can have the same name, if the menu directory they're part of is named differently. I think (haven't looked at them in detail recently) menu directory name is static strings in .ist files, not variables like install dir. Desktop shortcuts could be handled similarly, afaik.

Given for fresh installs these gotchas don't apply these comments are nits, not bug reports, but would enhance the OOBE for other users of the current version, I imagine, that like me want to test things in the new one for unknown regressions with their own code.

Obviously the same thing happened to a bug (https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34545) that I reported. It's even mentioned that it's fixed ("r59951 IDE") (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.0_fixes_branch), but it ain't.

This is a very annoying issue because you have to confirm the warning on each and every compile. Hope it's scheduled for 2.2 now.

Did you check from the commit log and it is not merged? Does it work for you in trunk?

This is a very annoying issue because you have to confirm the warning on each and every compile. Hope it's scheduled for 2.2 now.
If it really is missing, it will be merged for 2.0.2.

It was marked as resolved and applied  in the bug tracker, I thought that enough to be sure it was 'happening'.

Obviously the same thing happened to a bug (https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34545) that I reported. It's even mentioned that it's fixed ("r59951 IDE") (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.0_fixes_branch), but it ain't.
I just tested with fixes 2.0 (which is the same as release + 2 lldb fixes, so for this issue: the same)
- New project (empty form), saved D:\project.lpi/lpr D:\unit1.pas, compiled, run.

I can not reproduce it (and I did get the issue in Dec 2018).

I also found the entry on the merge wiki, search for r59952 => that is the revision resulting from the merge.
Since it is fixed (or at least a fix committed) to trunk and fixes branch, there are 2 commits. r59951 and r59952

It is unfortunate that the one mentioned in mantis and the wiki differ...., but that is a 2ndary problem. (and searching for the issue number 34545 will find it)
If you indeed still get it on release 2.0.0 then we need new steps to reproduce.

Quite funny  :) when I do the same, it works fine for me too.

Try this:

- New project, empty form
- Save both to d:\temp
- In project options, set target filename to D:\project1.exe
- Compile -> Warning about missing output directory (at least for me  ;))

In 2.0, I am observing severe problems when debugging. Is there someone else having problems?

My setup is Win x64, using Lazarus x64, cross-compiling to Win32.

In the 2.0 release, the "evaluate/watch" windows (as well as the tooltip when hovering over a variable) shows only rubbish data for strings. Records are displayed as "no symbol in current context". Only very basic types (integer, float) seem to be ok. This hasn't occured in the release candidates. (I already tried various dwarf2/dwarf3 settings, but without success.)

In addition to that, the debugger crashes very frequently. It is enough to have a single breakpoint at which the program execution is paused and then removing that breakpoint. Setting or removing breakpoints while the program is running is a no-go and almost always crashes the debugger. These problems have occured only rarely in 1.8, but were already present in the 2.0 release candidates.

Is there something more I can try?

I can't think of any change that would have introduced this. Not on the gdb based debugger.


It would be good if you can get a log of some of the errors.
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#Log_info_for_debug_session

If watches/locals are botched, you can also open the history window, and export the history. This will allow me to see the watches in my IDE, as you had seen them in yours.

Both, log and history, contain data from your app. In case you have sensitive data, we can discuss sending them privately.

A short sample code may also help.

Also do problems (for each case of problem) apply to:
global var
fields of self
class fields of other classes: foo.somestring
local vars
local vars but accessed from a nested procedure
params
var params

You do not need to test them all, just specify for those that fail in your code.




You can try to use alternative gdb versions.
For 32 bit (including cross compiled to 32 bits) https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/Alternative%20GDB/

You can also try to make sure that packages, if they have debug info, use the same type as your project.
GDB's stabs support is declining. But fpc on win32 still defaults to that. And if you change your project settings, packages may still use stabs, and that can be an issue.
Either edit Tools > Configure build IDE: and add -gw for dwarf
Or go to additions and overrides, and create an entry for all package, except project (IIRC *,-#project or similar, search our wiki) and set it to -gw or to -g- if you need no debug info for packages.

After some cleanup and only minor adjustments here and there I managed to compile my project(CE) without any issues, and everything seems to be looking fine so far.  No flashing listviews, no instant crashes, po files that don't start with hundreds KB of random garbage

So well done. I'll have to do some testing but I might finally be able to move from 1.6.4 with custom patches to an official build again
(Still have to launch lazarus itself with DPI disabled because it does 'something' to the existing controls when loading a project designed on 96 dpi)

Still hoping to see FPC updated someday as well

There must be some specific problem in your system. I have no problem with Zeos installation in Windows 8 and 10, and Linux (mint xfce, 18.3, 19.1).

I don't use SQLite, so I have no idea about it.

How did you install Zeos? Maybe some locations are messed up from previous install. Try this:

1. First, make sure zeos is not installed (in main menu go to Package->Install/Uninstall packages and make sure to remove all five zeos packages -- that is zcore, zplain, zdbc, zparsesql and zcomponent).
2. Make Lazarus "forget" these packages (go to Package->Package links and search for zeos, then check all five zeos packages and click on "Delete selected" button). You might see more than five links there (if you tried different version of Zeos) -- that will make problem, IDE might mix packages with different versions -- just remove them all here.
3. Rebuild the IDE.
4. Go to Package->Open package file. Open five zeos packages from the same directory in the ide. In the zcomponent window click on install button and rebuild Lazarus again.

Did it help?

Thanks Martin. It did work without debugging. When I checked to make sure I was using the new debugger, I realized the path defaults to gdb, even though lldb is selected. I changed the path to point to lldb (/usr/bin/lldb) and everything seems fine now.

The path to lldb is not available in the combobox either. Since Mac hides system directories, it is difficult to navigate to it, as you can not pick it from the normal open file dialog. I installed a command to toggle on and off hidden directories, but this would not likely be obvious to a new user. It is still much easier than dealing with codesigning gdb though!  :)

There are several issues

1) the path. I added a commit to trunk, that will hopefully add it. (will merge)
But that will not automatically select it.

2) The setup dialog "lazarus --setup" does not know at all about lldb.
There is no imminent work planed on this, that I know of....

3) A new install, without old config.
That should work...
But then it should have worked with your config from the RC, unless the RC had a diff config folder.

Upgrading with existing config from 1.8.4 => that does not update the debugger conf.


Could you test:
If you  (in your primary config), rename the environmentoptions.xml
Then start the IDE. It should create a new environmentoptions.xml, and the debugger should be correct.

Also verify, in your install directory, is a environmentoptions.xml which is the template for a new config. That should have the lldb debugger in it.

How did you install Zeos?


I have just installed a fresh lazarus 2.0 as secondary (i want to keep and old version for other purpose) so none package or other already installed.
For Zeos is available in "official" list in menu->Package-Install/Remove packages so i've just added it to the list ( see screenshot)

Put sqlite3.dll of propper bitness into directory of your Lazarus executable.
I say that but no project open. Like i said before it's fresh installation. So when i rebuild IDE i have en error message like "SQLite.DLL not found"

See also screenshot i've surrounded the packages

This two errors are not  realy a problem for zeos  i'try thrue OPM and for SQLite i'll just try to put DLL in my system's folders

The nature of the "Terminal Output" - (View->DebugWindows->TerminalOutput) in 1.8.4 and (View->DebugWindows->ConsoleInOutput) in 2.0.1 has changed. I note two issues on Linux -

1. Crash if you close the Console window before closing an app.

2. In my medium sized app, I debugln() no longer writes to the Console.

Specifically, if I make a new project, it can use debugln() to write to the console but my medium sized project that has been brought forward from 1.8.4 and then various versions of Fixes_2 and now V2.0.0 cannot. I am pretty sure there was no problem in older Fixes_2 - I'd have noticed.

I have read the 2.0.0 release notes, it talks about LCL no longer writing out over Lazlogger, but I have Lazlogger listed in my units uses clause.

Item 1 - crashes if you close the console winder before the app ?  Simple form with a button, in the event for that button  put debugln('hello'); and add Lazlogger to users line.

Now, run the app in Lazarus, open the Console (View->DebugWindows->ConsoleInOutput), press the button in your app, note it does say Hello (unlike my older app) and then close the console window. Bang.

I really liked the old Terminal window approach, any way I can get it back ?

Sorry for my english,
In this case the best it's to copy the DLL in the system folder and not in the Lazarus folder. Because with a project we should copy also the DLL in the application folder.

In this case it's how the components in those 2 packages are coded. I don't take a look in the code but Normally we should not need to load the DLL when installing these components in the IDE because we do not connect to any database.

To do it well it would be necessary that the DLL is loaded dynamically during the execution of our project or when we let's enable a connection with a BDD at designtime.

When installing a package of components of this type we can not rebuild Lazarus. Making two copies of a DLL file is stupid, in which case it is better to copy this DLL to the system folder of the OS and not to the Lazarus folder and then to copy it a second time to the application's folder.

In some of my projects i'm using OpenAL/Freetype and others. I have some components installed in the IDE and i don't need to have the DLL in the Lazarus's folder or in the system's folder. I just put DLL in my application's folder and DLL is load at dynamically at runtime and that it.

I think this minimum information should be to register in the description of the package.
This kind of error does not bother me more than that but for someone who starts it can become frustrating.

In all case it's not a problem for me

The IDE needs the DLL because you can open a see the DB data at design time.

On windows the library "bitness" is a pain in the butt (the system folders don't seem to have the right name) I suppose that's why they tell you "copy the dll here and there" so if you know the right place for the sqlite3.dll then put it there.

Strange if you have LazLogger in the uses, then it is supposed to work.

Do you use threads? Make sure the main thread gets the first debugln. That problem always existed, and afaik is the same for writeln.
Btw: does writeln work?

Have you tried running your app from a console (cmd.exe on windows, bash or terminal on linux)

Can you debug how the code steps into debugln? It must abort at some condition.

I could not find the template in the install directory however.

I created the bugreport, there I gave more details (test application, screenshots, revisions which introduced the bug): https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35085 (https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35085)

This event should have never been used the way I used it, so I resolved the bug with "no change required". More details in bugreport.

Wow, this is so great! Congratulations on all levels!

Will you guys be able to provide a more convenient way to switch to SDI interface ?

I mean, I am using it daily on OSX, Xubuntu and Windows, I found no issues so far, unless I am installing the wrong packages or the wrong order.

On Windows, there is still the problem of not finding sqlite3.dll file when activating some packages, couldn't this be solved too ?

Have you copied the sqlite3.dll to the main Lazarus folder?
With the dll in the Lazarus folder I have never had any package complaining during installation.

Post by: garlar27 on February 15, 2019, 10:44:34 pm
The other way is to put the SQLite.dll in the correct System folder (System or SysWOW64).

Good day to all
Using Linux Ubuntu 18.10, Lazarus 18.4 installed, I am trying to install the new version but when I double-click the downloaded DEB file loading  GDEBI I get the message
ERROR: The dependancy cannot be satisfied : fpc-laz (=3.0.4). I cannot continue the installation any further.

Any hints anyone  ??

you should download and install the fpc and fpc-src packages first from here:

see -
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.0.0_release_notes#Debian_package_fpc_was_renamed_to_fpc-laz

That means that if you want to install the precompiled Lazarus binary from SourceForge, you must also use the fpc from the same place (as mdalacu said). You can no longer mix and match a fpc from your package manager AND use the SourceForge Lazarus. If you build your own Lazarus (and there is good reasons to do so http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_Linux#Build_Lazarus_from_Source ) you can first use either means of installing fpc.

Hi again!

I've returned to Lazarus 1.8.4. One of my sqlite apps was losing a few characters in TEXT fields and sometimes showed then as chinesse characters :O :O :O.

I don't know if it's a Zeos or Lazarus problem. I've not time to uninstall last zeos lib and install previous. So I've downgraded to Lazarus 1.8.4. I'm working with both versions in my PC (Windows 10).

In a few days I'll try to see where is the problem.

Regards.

Thank you for this new release :)

I don't know if this bug was introduced in this version or earlier, but assigning "int64" and "qword" variables to and from "OleVariant" is implemented wrong in "variant.inc" (lazarus\fpc\3.0.4\source\rtl\inc).
Assigning an int64 or qword to OleVariant looses the higher 4 bytes because it calls "VariantManager. VarFromInt" for both cases. And in the other direction, "VarToInt64" and "VarToWord64" are exchanged.

This is the corrected code:

Code: [Select]
operator :=(const source : olevariant) dest : qword;{$ifdef SYSTEMINLINE}inline;{$endif}
  begin
    dest:=variantmanager.vartoword64(variant(tvardata(source)));
  end;

operator :=(const source : olevariant) dest : int64;{$ifdef SYSTEMINLINE}inline;{$endif}
  begin
    dest:=variantmanager.vartoint64(variant(tvardata(source)));
  end;

Code: [Select]
operator :=(const source : qword) dest : olevariant;{$ifdef SYSTEMINLINE}inline;{$endif}
  begin
    variantmanager.olevarfromword64(dest,source);
  end;

operator :=(const source : int64) dest : olevariant;{$ifdef SYSTEMINLINE}inline;{$endif}
  begin
    variantmanager.olevarfromint64(dest,source);
  end;

Hey, nice catch! I can see that it is same in the trunk version of FPC. Can you file a bug report so this won't be forgotten?

To compile your version of FPC, make sure that PATH environment variable contains path to FPC binary directory and then open terminal window/command prompt at the location of the FPC source directory. At the open terminal window/comman prompt execute this command : make all INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to your FPC binary directory>

Make sure that you make a backup of FPC binary directory before you rebuild FPC.

Title: Re: Lazarus Release 2.0.0
Post by: jamie on March 10, 2019, 02:26:01 pm
If you are on WINDOWS, and I assume you are, the OS uses its own colors for those controls and many like them..

The Themes settings handles that but you still can't override them...

If you want you can select a OwnerDrawFixed type of combobox. You will need to do the drawing of each
row yourself but, it gives you the opportunity to set the Brush colors for the background as you do so.

 There are plenty of examples online both in Delphi and Lazarus.

 It's been this way for a long time.

Hi,
thx for the release.
But I found a difference behavior between 1.8.4 and 2.0.0:
The part behind the last dot in target file name is truncated (project1.test.64 -> project1.test; tested with IDE and lazbuild).
It had worked at least since version 1.6.4 but with 2.0.0 our build scripts didn't find target files anymore.
I don't know if this behavior is desired or documented.

Open the .lfm file with any text editor and remove the component. Then do the same with the corresponding declarations in the .pas file.

No you don't. Tomas has moved KControls to a new bitbucket repo, he has undertaken to accept patches (and has done so) and is keeping the records straight so the online package manager can keep track. I always install KControls via the online package manager and have no problems. 

TK was also convinced to leave KControls with an appropriate license so it can, if someone wants to fork it (gee, even move it to github or sorceforge !!). I'm still using it in tomboy-ng and plan to as long as I can. Richedit does not work very well on Mac in particular, does not seem to be 'loved' any more than KControls is.

I don't see that on the online list. What is the actual product name?

So, seeing I can't get TlzRichEdit to install....

Putting aside WP's version of LzRichEdit, the official repo has not been updated for five years. Maybe you need to think about an alternative ?  I'd suggest its TRichMemo and TKMemo.  As you note, TK has announced he is no longer interested in developing KControls (which includes KMemo) but will 'manage' it in an ongoing mode. Its functional and works across Linux, Mac and  Windows. Its big and pretty complicated. As you found, supported in Onlinepackage manager.

On the other hand RichMemo is a lot smaller and also available in Onlinepackage manager. Its sort of complete in Linux and windows, lots missing on the Mac. My recent experience is its a lot easier to get things fixed in KControls than Richmemo but, obviously, the future is not as clear. I have made wiki pages about both,  http://wiki.freepascal.org/KControls/KmemoNotes and http://wiki.freepascal.org/RichMemo/WorkArounds.

In light of TK's announcement, I recently reviewed my decision to use KMemo rather than RichMemo. I decided to stick with KControls because of its Mac support and its completeness. I'd prefer RichMemo's lightness but several reports and suggestions went unanswered.

I tried to install, but it gives me a message saying that there are no IDE add-ons and suggest I just manually add to required packages.
Are there any tools that are supposed to be added to the tool palette?

Also, the example in the library folder is not working... there aare no forms or pas files in the project, therefore I have no idea howyou have this set up

I see now that I had done everything with Laz trunk - too many versions on my PC... With Laz 2.0, the package installs fine, but when I load the example the code editor disappears. No idea what happens here, but I do not want to investigate more work in a dead component.

So, seeing I can't get TlzRichEdit to install....

Putting aside WP's version of LzRichEdit, the official repo has not been updated for five years. Maybe you need to think about an alternative ?  I'd suggest its TRichMemo and TKMemo.  As you note, TK has announced he is no longer interested in developing KControls (which includes KMemo) but will 'manage' it in an ongoing mode. Its functional and works across Linux, Mac and  Windows. Its big and pretty complicated. As you found, supported in Onlinepackage manager.

On the other hand RichMemo is a lot smaller and also available in Onlinepackage manager. Its sort of complete in Linux and windows, lots missing on the Mac.

Tried all these and they are buggy and lack features.

Well, seeing I have tried all controls for true RTf editing and they all come up short.
My application is now dead in Lazarus.

I guess it is back to .NET for this one

I down loaded 2.0.0 when it first was released, I noticed the package "VirtualTree" was preinstalled.

I down loaded it again for my Vista laptop and it is no longer preinstalled but is in the package list and I then
installed it..

 Is there some difference between the two? I checked the version numbers between the two and they are both
the same so this much of gotten changed between the two times I down loaded it.

Ok I'll go with that, it would of been nice if they changed the release #..

I know there was an issue with the virtual tree after the initial release of 2.0.0, but since it is now
a installable package I wonder if the issue that was corrected made it in this release ?

In v1.8.4 the OnlinePackageManager was added to Lazarus, it depends on VirtualTreeView. To avoid naming conflicts OPM had its own version of VTV which could not be used for anything else.

Since VTV is very popular it was decided to replace that local version in Laz2.0 by a copy of v5 the Lazarus port github. This way VTV became included in the Lazarus distribution and could be used independently of OPM.

However, users came up who wanted to install different versions of VTV - there is a v4 and v6 in the git repo of its Lazarus port, but these do not necessarily cooperate with OPM. This required the - hopefully - final change: In Laz trunk we now have an installable VTV again but units and registered classes will be renamed with "laz" prefix to obtain a unique name. Users now can install any version of VTV without interfering with OPM - or use the "lazVTV" which comes with Lazarus (it is on palette "LazControls").

No, not a bug, but something amiss with that particular project.
I don't know if the .lpi was corrupt, or something else was wrong. The project was developed for Mac OS X which may (or may not)  be a complicating factor.

Many thank answer howardpc

No, not a bug, but something amiss with that particular project.
Bug me, so is bug ?  :D

It strange. i look .lpi and look .lps i think error.

Project madref (part) lpi read
Code: [Select]
    <Units>
      <Unit>
        <Filename Value="Referee3_DB.lpr"/>
        <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
      </Unit>
      <Unit>

        <ComponentName Value="Form_RefereeMain"/>
        <HasResources Value="True"/>
        <ResourceBaseClass Value="Form"/>
      </Unit>
    </Units>       

Read is missing number unit.

I fix (same part) lpi read:
Code: [Select]
    <Units Count="2">

Same when lps file. That unit not same. Is (no) good ?

I not know why before. Now i know and fix easy. I many  time waste fix copy-paste form/unit/lpr/lpi/lps/res and lazarus say error.

The enumeration of nodes in some xml project files (.lpi, .lfm) has been changed in trunk recently which results in an "empty project" error when a new project is saved by Lazarus trunk and re-opened in an older version. If this happens open the project in Laz-trunk and check the new box "Maximize compatibility of project files" in "Project options" > "Miscellaneous". When saved with this option checked the xml nodes are written in the old way and the project is readable by all Lazarus versions.

i am unable to compile simpleserver.lpi :  TSimpleFileModule declaration is is missing form the file fpwebfile.pp

As compiling simpleserver (as well as its related compilerserver) require fpc trunk 3.3.1, it is recommended you simply use the executable from the current release of Lazarus (v2.0.2 at time of writing: http://forum.lazarus-ide.org/index.php/topic,44909.0.html?PHPSESSID=7eknk5r8m3e8sinbf5gd56m424 (http://forum.lazarus-ide.org/index.php/topic,44909.0.html?PHPSESSID=7eknk5r8m3e8sinbf5gd56m424))

Lazarus 2.0 - closes the project form

Message mihey78 "04/09/2019 10:11:24

I have such a problem in Lazarus 2.0:
if the IDE window is minimized and maximized, the previously opened form is closed, each time it has to be re-opened using Shift / F12.
