Thank you very much to the Lazarus team. The work you created is terrific.

A suggestion for those who have antivirus problems;

I'm running Lazarus on pure windows.
I install and run all external programs on the virtual operating system. Thus, I do not need to use any antivirus program.
In my opinion, this method is very safe and performance.

Thanks all!
While installing the trend micro AV kills it on AppData\Local\Temp\is-N39DC.tmp\lazarus-2.0.4-fpc-3.0.4-win32.tmp %)
Will try again tomorrow, hopefully trend micro is updated...

Sorry to hear. All Windows installers were tested before https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3045aeeff9efbd7bc470b2c8cb82121cd9fa54ef98999b7b0e37a93e9257bd79/detection

For those within the file size restrictions, there are also results at https://metadefender.opswat.com
Note that occasionally one of the scanners may give a "generic" warning.

You can find each installer by using the checksums. (published on our homepage)
You can checksum your download using the Microsoft fciv tool https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/841290/availability-and-description-of-the-file-checksum-integrity-verifier-u
Microsoft also supplies a powershell variant that can do sha-256

Thank you very much for your great work!

I have not found a download for macOS/Cocoa. Will there be one?

I have tried to build the IDE with widgettype=cocoa and target cpu=x86_64 and it just worked to compile my first cocoa app! Very good work!

For beginners, who are not aware of setting those parameters, a direct download of a cocoa installer would be nice, especially because Apple will drop the cocoa support.

AV Problem: fpc.exe, ppc386.exe and fpres.exe are often send by my avira installation to the cloud for checking. Specially after a make run. In this time the execution is blocked, after few second it is running again without a problem. This was trigger by the heurastic module of my AV-Prg.

So maybe other AV found this prg inside of the installer and block/delete this. In the past i had some trouble with Avira, but i sent them the files and it was accepted as positive false and the next releases are working without an issue. (BTW: I have an payed AV-Account).

----
Have your AV an quarantine area ? If yes, look if you can unlock the file or sent to the AV, so they can detect a positive false.

I will never understand why so many people bother themselves with these AV-Bullshit-Tools. What is the reason for that? More security? Is everything more secure since we deal with this kind of stupid software? Are all the problems gone? They say you need to use the lastest AV-software and use the lastet updates for all programs and then everything is fine! Yes, really? "Some" people should learn to really use their eyes ... Is everything saver since people do penetration testing all the time? Is that really the case? Where can I see this fantastic result?

There are only two things that are gone: time and money ...


I'm so sorry  :P

You may see no value in anti-virus / anti-malware tools, but I have seen many a malicious software deployments blocked by the use of these tools.

And I've seen people who felt that they didn't need such a tool, lose significant time and money to ransomware attacks.

You are well advised to exempt the folder (in your AV) where your compiler operates.  That compilation behavior will almost always look sketchy to heuristic engines, because it is very similar to what many modern malware apps do.

First, thanks go to the Lazarus team for all their efforts. 

I don't want to go to any great extent about AVs in this thread, since it is obviously not about AVs but, they are useful for "joe average".  In a properly configured machine, they are useless and just a hindrance.

For beginners, who are not aware of setting those parameters, a direct download of a cocoa installer would be nice, especially because Apple will drop the cocoa support.

I was also hoping for the direct download of a Cocoa version, unfortunately not yet. In the mean time, all new users should check in here: 

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/board,28.0.html

Many people are willing to help get folks up and running in Cocoa. While requiring some additional work installing, it is very stable and usable.

Thanks for this latest version.

I uninstalled my older version completely and deleted the folder yet this totally new install shows me as having OPM installed packages.
UOS shows as Yes and BGRABitmap as partially.
I don't have these as component tabs in the IDE of 2.04.

I installed the latest 2.04 r61665 64bit. on W10 Pro.

Lazarus stores it config in the user profile.
On Win that is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\lazarus
On Linux that is /home/username/.lazarus

For 2ndary installs the folder can be chosen.

The installer has an option to clear that data.


So the IDE will see the config, and OPM may see what used to be installed.
The component tabs are missing, because "installs" must be compiled into the IDE, but the new IDE does not have them....
They probably will be there once you rebuild the IDE.

Thanks guys!
Installed the new version and all works like before.
I installed 2.04 over the old 2.02 version after making a backup of the 2.02 folder, then once rebuild the IDE and all settings and components were back again.
For me that's the easiest way on a Windows system to get up and running without too much work.

@Martin_fr: I had also tested it with VirusTotal.
Tried today and same message from trend micro.
I have asked for the temporary AV unload code because I could not install the old 2.0.2 back, same error.
I'm sure I (eventually) get the code and then will install Lazarus again :)

If you had existing components installed before they will be marked for install in the left panel of the package list..

  Perform a IDE rebuild and they will install on the tabs.

I cleared away all the AppData stuff and started again.
Worked perfectly this time.

This version seems to load components onto a form quicker than earlier versions. This is one of the main noticeable differences between Delphi and Lazarus IDE.

I had some issues with my Windows Defender, Smart screen which I have turned off but it's on anyways. it kept fighting me all the way while getting it to install but this was the 64 bit release.

 The 32 bit release I had no issues.

 Is the 64 bit Lazarus release now a 64 bit binary?
Title: Re: Lazarus Release 2.0.4
Post by: Martin_fr on August 08, 2019, 05:46:15 pm
Inno setup has a flag, so the installer will give an error if you try to install on a 32 bit system. This flag has been enabled for the 64bit installer. Though I am not sure if that was merged to 2.0.x or if it is trunk only.

Otherwise the installer should still be the same (as previous 2.0.x). Compared to much older installers the version of inno setup was also updated. (not sure when exactly).

What are the exact issues?
Inno setup should
- extract all files
- at the end run fpcmkcfg.exe to create your fpc.cfg

Obviously the compiled files differ. Different bit patterns that could (falsely) match a virus sig.

Hi everybody !

I've been trying to migrate from Lazarus 1.8.5 to a newer one for a while, but I still have some minor issues. Today, for example, I tried 2.0.5, which worked fine until a report was printed. The application did nothing here without any error message. In the editor, a preview window of FortesReport CE indicates an Access violation error. Can anyone tell me that Lazarus 2.0.5 Linux 64bit is really a problem with FortesReport CE ? The FortesReport CE was installed from OPM.

Xubuntu 18.0.4 LTS 64bit, FPC 3.0.5, Lazarus 2.0.5 64bit installed with FpcUpDelux (FPC Fixes 3, Lazarus Fixes 2).

... Different bit patterns that could (falsely) match a virus sig.
I think it's because the installer now installs/removes openssl libraries to the system32 folder. Installing it to lazarus' folder instead may clear pass the anti-virus heuristics.

I have rediscovered Lazarus and fpc lastly. You are doing a  fantastic job. I am using Lazarus on à Windows 7-64 virtual machine (VirtualBox on a Mac), so that I have no problem with the debugger. It's a perfect match.
I have ben using Delphi since its inception until it became really to expensive for my needs, now I would I have switched years before.
Thank you guys, in brief.

You can setup the Lazarus for Mac to use lldb. This should work out of the box. It will be a bit slower though.
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,42869.0.html

lldb comes with the Apple developer tools. So it should be on your system, and it should be code signed by Apple itself.

I got away from Lazarus / FPC for about a year and got immersed in C++, OpenCV, Visual Studio, CodeBlocks, Geany, etc. But I just learned git and I have a ton of existing pascal code that I'm gonna need RIGHT NOW (no time to translate into C++) so I thought "what the heck". I just downloaded the three deb packages from Source Forge and blammo everything installed quickly and perfectly. I'd forgotten how FRICKIN COOL Lazarus was. I'm gonna have some FUN this weekend - thanks for all your great work !!!

eastorwest, have you read https://wiki.freepascal.org/How_to_use_a_TrayIcon ?

There are a number of issues with TrayIcon on Linux that you must understand. In XUbuntu, I'd be particularly careful if your OS has been updated.  I 'think' you should not suffer the Gnome 3 issues.

Please open a new forum thread, the thread about release is not a great place to discuss general problems. I would suggest Operating Systems->Linux
