Lazarus Release 2.0.0

[wp]

In v1.8.4 the OnlinePackageManager was added to Lazarus, it depends on VirtualTreeView. To avoid naming conflicts OPM had its own version of VTV which could not be used for anything else.

Since VTV is very popular it was decided to replace that local version in Laz2.0 by a copy of v5 the Lazarus port github. This way VTV became included in the Lazarus distribution and could be used independently of OPM.

However, users came up who wanted to install different versions of VTV - there is a v4 and v6 in the git repo of its Lazarus port, but these do not necessarily cooperate with OPM. This required the - hopefully - final change: In Laz trunk we now have an installable VTV again but units and registered classes will be renamed with "laz" prefix to obtain a unique name. Users now can install any version of VTV without interfering with OPM - or use the "lazVTV" which comes with Lazarus (it is on palette "LazControls").

I Lazarus IDE v2.0.0 r60660M Raspbian GTK2.

Load project other user http://forum.lazarus-ide.org/index.php/topic,44814.msg316058.html#msg316058 and Lazarus write "Empty Project".

Not Empty Project. Have form and unit test project. Maybe bug ?

How fix ?

I many waste time. No fun

No, not a bug, but something amiss with that particular project.
I don't know if the .lpi was corrupt, or something else was wrong. The project was developed for Mac OS X which may (or may not)  be a complicating factor.

Many thank answer howardpc

No, not a bug, but something amiss with that particular project.

Bug me, so is bug ? 

It strange. i look .lpi and look .lps i think error.

Project madref (part) lpi read

Code: [Select]

    <Units>
      <Unit>
        <Filename Value="Referee3_DB.lpr"/>
        <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
      </Unit>
      <Unit>
        <Filename Value="referee_main.pas"/>
        <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
        <ComponentName Value="Form_RefereeMain"/>
        <HasResources Value="True"/>
        <ResourceBaseClass Value="Form"/>
      </Unit>
    </Units>       

Read is missing number unit.

I fix (same part) lpi read:

    <Units Count="2">
      <Unit0>
        <Filename Value="Referee3_DB.lpr"/>
        <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
      </Unit0>
      <Unit1>
        <Filename Value="referee_main.pas"/>
        <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
        <ComponentName Value="Form_RefereeMain"/>
        <HasResources Value="True"/>
        <ResourceBaseClass Value="Form"/>

    <BuildModes Count="1">
      <Item1 Name="Default" Default="True"/>
    </BuildModes>

The enumeration of nodes in some xml project files (.lpi, .lfm) has been changed in trunk recently which results in an "empty project" error when a new project is saved by Lazarus trunk and re-opened in an older version. If this happens open the project in Laz-trunk and check the new box "Maximize compatibility of project files" in "Project options" > "Miscellaneous". When saved with this option checked the xml nodes are written in the old way and the project is readable by all Lazarus versions.

i am unable to compile simpleserver.lpi :  TSimpleFileModule declaration is is missing form the file fpwebfile.pp

As compiling simpleserver (as well as its related compilerserver) require fpc trunk 3.3.1, it is recommended you simply use the executable from the current release of Lazarus (v2.0.2 at time of writing: http://forum.lazarus-ide.org/index.php/topic,44909.0.html?PHPSESSID=7eknk5r8m3e8sinbf5gd56m424)

Lazarus 2.0 - closes the project form

Message mihey78 "04/09/2019 10:11:24

I have such a problem in Lazarus 2.0:
if the IDE window is minimized and maximized, the previously opened form is closed, each time it has to be re-opened using Shift / F12.
