Great work Lazarus Team!
Because of your great work, I use Delphi less and less and that's a good thing :-)

So do I and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Lazarus gets better and better with time.

Is it mean that LCL-CustomDrawn can be normally compiled by FPC 2.6 and we do not need to prepare another 2.5.1 branch?

Anyway, good job. I love you, the Lazarus Team.

Hey!  You really need to alert users about this on Twitter.

I like this version, but there might be a glitch in it:

I noticed a few new components and was curious what the TListFilterEdit could do.
So I started a new application, put an TListFilterEdit and a TlistBox on my form and linked then with the FilteredListbox property
of the TListFilterEdit in design time.
Then (don't ask me why) I decided to remove the Tlistbox by selecting it en pressed the delete button.
result : an Acces violation.

Is there a <> Nil check missing in the TListFilterEdit component maybe?


Lazarus RC 1.0  32 bits on Windows 7 64 bits

I saw that the new version does not support Win98SE. Several schools in Italy still have computers with Win98SE.

If you refer to the installer: This was an oversight when upgrading Inno-setup. The next RC will be build so it should install on w98.

AFAIK Lazarus itself works with 98.

Yes, the setup does not work on Win98, but I also read the first post:

"Minimum requirements:
Windows:       2k, Vista, 7, 32 or 64bit"

I'm glad that Lazarus continues to work on Win98SE!

I haven't tested it. I said AFAIK


IIRC someone reported on the mailinglist that it worked for them. Not sure if they had to change the fpc version. I don't know what fpc requires which platform

it does not work on Win98SE. It seems to be UTF8 related.

thanks for the new release  , i really appreciate that effort of the guys behind lazarus , thanks alot

just one thing , in the source editor the 'REGION' should be collapsed by default , just imagine 10000 line of code that uses alot of regions , its prefered to see all the region collapsed when open it . just like delphi

try
  {%region /fold}
or
  {%region -fold}

but not in quotes
  {%region 'foo /fold bar'}  will NOT auto fold
using after the quotes
  {%region 'foo bar' /fold}  will auto fold
or anywhere in unquoted text
  {%region foo  /fold bar}  will auto fold

region works with {% or {$. If you use {% then you can set a different highlight color (using "IDE directive" in the color options)

You refer to the UTF8Stringlist , setup dialog?

I don't know if anyone plans to look at it. Does the IDE work, if you ignore the error? If so, does a user compiled app work?

There also is http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13974 but it is not planed for 1.0 (it has no target yet)

However, other things you can do (you may have to assign the shortcuts in the keymapping options first. Not sure what the defaults are.)

- using keymap to fold all 1st level, or all 2nd level PASCAL folds.
 unfortunately that does not work for region or ifdef.

- using on editor macro, to go through the code and fold all regions (only, if there are no other folds on the line of the region)
  record macro
  ctrl-e incremental search  {%region
  use keyboard to ford node at current line
  press end (end of line / to get behind the current region keyword)
  end record macro
keep playing the macro
