Lazarus 1.0 release candidate 2 available for download

-vc works, it's only -vm that's problematic

Umm yes, sorry, you're right.

Well, it's a known bug, it's been assigned, and apparently not a showstopper for 1.0 (otherwise it would have been fixed).... not that important

[Leledumbo]

Yeah, seems like not many people even play with Verbosity options. I need to ask FPC devs regarding -vm since this <x> and <y> thing aren't documented (or I can't find the documentation).

EDIT: found it in fpc -vq

Updated issue with patch. Seems to work ok on Win64/FPC 2.6.1 x86+Laz trunk

SF is not blocked from Sudan, but SF is blocking Sudanese from downloading software by default, but not all software in SF are blocked, for instance we can download FireBird from SF. I think Lazarus team could change this default restriction and enable us to download Lazarus from there.

Most of US companies are blocking us to access their sites like Embarcadero, Oracle, Google, except Microsoft, we can download anything from Microsoft site, I don't know why.

I think it's because of some stupid US law regarding encryption. FPC at least contains some encryption methods which might fall into this category. That's the thing I noticed when on SF tho, it might be something else as well. You should be able to get the files elsewhere too tho, IIRC both projects have their own hostings (at least for sources)

Thanks Almindor for your concern.
I found the same packages in sourceforge Japan, it contains the most important projects files, like Lazarus. Also Lazarus team had provided an alternative download mirror.

I have left Delphi after 14 years of usage because of US embargo to Sudan.

Ever since the RC1 I have been seeing an issue with the MainMenu component.

In Windows XP/7 I don't see the underline for the menu items. Such as &File : File.

In MAC OS X the main menu bar disappears or only shows a few of the Menu items on the bar, I can do several things to bring it back, like minimize the application and then restoring it. This happens when I run the application outside of Lazarus. Inside of Lazarus it runs fine.

On Unity in Ubuntu I see the underscore on the sub-menu items only, maybe this is the way it's suppose to work? Like File which is a top level menu item on the bar does not show the underline under the F. And in OpenSuse I see the same as I do in Windows, no underlines for menu items.

I can't be the only one seeing these issues, but I haven't seen anyone reporting them. So is it just me? And on three of the OSes? Windows, Linux, and MAC OS X (Carbon) 10.6.4.

OK, I found some posts with these issues:

It would seem that I hadn't noticed this before, how odd.

good release its much stable

in your TODO list arn't there intention to make lazarus looks like delphi now days , the idea of separate windows like delphi7 is ok , but the new look of delphi now days  (all in one window) is much better .

good luck

You can turn on the docking support in the IDE and have a similar look and feel to the newer versions of Delphi.

Apart from the Windows versions... probably the devs are working on that before sending out a formal release announcement

I have a hunch the release may be done in time for the September 1st Dutch Pascal conference day

The Windows 64 bit version finally up less than 30 minutes ago, and the 32 bit up less than 10 minutes ago.  This is great timing for me to stop by today!  I've been waiting for this a long time.

Glad to see it finally here!  I'm happy enough I finally signed up for an account.

Ever since the RC1 I have been seeing an issue with the MainMenu component.

In Windows XP/7 I don't see the underline for the menu items. Such as &File : File.

What I see (on Win 7) is that the [Alt] key toggles display of the accelerator key underlining.
So you may not see the underlining when the IDE first loads until you press [Alt].

DO we need to uninstalled the previous release of Lazrus before installing 1.0?

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone know why it is like this? I am trying to find info, if anyone can point me to a link or two I would appreciate it.

If you install to the same folder and your las install was 0.9.30.x: No, it should work without.

If you used snapshots, it may work, but it may not.
