Lazarus Release Candidate 5 of 1.8 (includes RC1 fpc 3.0.4)

[Hoch]

Hi,

First of all, I would like to congratulate the Lazarus team for this awesome IDE. Probably one of the best IDEs out there. I have use a few of them and this is one of the most productive, fast and memory efficient ones. It really makes the amazing FPC compiler shine bright.

I've been using v1.8RC5 for day to day work and so far it is working fine, except for an issue with the debugger.

I can't modify variable values.

In the 'modify/evaluate' dialog, every time I try modify the variable value pressing the 'Modify' button, I get this error (translated from Spanish): "New value" is empty.

I append a screenshot.

Maybe it is something in my project settings? If not, I'll be glad to to issue a bug report.

Thank you all and keep up the great work!

Hoch.

Your image does not show the bottom of the window.
So I can not see, what (if anything) you put into the "New Value" field.

Also what is your OS? Maybe it is a widgetset issue. I just tested it on win32 and it worked.

----------
Be aware:
You can change numbers, and boolean, char and the like.

But you can not change strings (except maybe shortstrings)! This will lead to errors or crashes.

Martin_fr,

Thank you for your fast answer!

I was changing the value in the result field!... 

The dialog was longer than the screen and the new value field was hidden.
I resized the dialog. Now I can see the new value field and of course it was empty...

It works fine in win32.

Maybe the result field should be selectable only? Be able to edit it, is a bit confusing.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Keep up the good work! 

Hoch.

The entire dialog needs a haul over....

Does anyone know when the final release is expected to be published?   

Very soon after FPC 3.0.4 is released!
Lazarus 1.8 is held back waiting for it. The Windows version of RC5 already uses a self built FPC 3.0.4.
This is annoying because FPC 3.0.4 was already tagged a long time ago, meaning it is ready. Somebody only must build it.
Please ask FPC developers when will they release.

FPC 3.0.4 is released.
I am waiting impatiently for Lazarus 1.8.
Is there any scheduled release date?
