Lazarus Release 1.8.4 (with FPC 3.0.4)

[avra]

Hint flag that pops up a when you hover the mouse over a identifier no longer contains a hyperlink

Check if you have TurboPowerIProDsgn package installed.

Yep, thanks AVAR, that fixed it.

Perhaps it is part of the (eg) Deb package but not there from trunk ?

Much nicer !

Thank you very much for the continues great work on the Lazarus project!

[Soner]

I updated my lazarus saturday.
First thank you very much but two things in procedure list gone wrong.
1) Selected row has no indicator
2) It searchs in class names. This is very bad you get too many results.
Look the screenshots.

[JuhaManninen]

Soner, can you please find which revision in the 1.8 fixes branch broke it.

[balazsszekely]

I'm not sure there is a bug(tested both with 1.8.4 and trunk) at least not on win32/win64.
1. I have an indicator(screenshot1)
2. If you wish to ignore the classname, just select a particular class(screenshot2). It's seems logical to me that when "Alle" is selected, it will search through every available class, including the class names.

PS: Works fine with GTK2 too(Linux Mint).

Forget 1) row indicator issue, it is the result of my modificatons. I added to TCustomGrid AlwaysShowSelection property and forget it make default true.

No it isn't logical. I call procedure list from editor with keyboard shortcut and I don't want switch to mouse. Mostly I press 4-5 key and enter. And almost the search takes 3 seconds.
I think the modificaton of procedure list is made from someone that use it never or seldom. I navigate in source editor only with procedure list and keyboard and I think the new one looks good but not handy.
Look my screenshot and explains there. Compare the query results from new and old.

I found the solution, I copied procedure list from lazarus 1.6.4 to 1.8.5 and problem is gone. 

Thanks for Lazarus and fpc guys, you are all great.

OK. I'm not gonna argue with that.  Everyone has its own preference.

In my opinion the best solution is to store the last state of the button and everyone will be happy.

l.s.

A branch was made for a future series of 3.2.x FPC releases. A first release
of this branch is still months away, but the moment to test the compatibility
of your codebases with the future FPC is _NOW_!, while there is still time
to do something about it.

The svn designation of this fixes branch is branches/fixes_3_2

As a consequence, trunk will be updated to version 3.3.1, some people might have to update their scripts.

I am confused.
Which one is most probably to be released: Lazarus 2.0.0 with FPC 3.0.4 or FPC 3.2.0?

With FPC 3.0.4 obviously. FPC 3.2.0 will not be released for a long time. There is even no RC1 yet.

[Martin_fr]

That said, testing with 3.2 branch is still recommended too, since once 3.2 is out the next minor (Lazarus 2.0.x) will probably use it.

[valdir.marcos]

Since files are already available for download and testing, isn't Lazarus 2.0.0 RC1 official announcement missing, something similar to the one below?
