Many thanks and congratulations to the team. I have not yet installed 2.0.4, but very much appreciate the hard work and continued evolution of Lazarus.

Thank you very much for your great work!

I have not found a download for macOS/Cocoa. Will there be one?

I have tried to build the IDE with widgettype=cocoa and target cpu=x86_64 and it just worked to compile my first cocoa app! Very good work!

For beginners, who are not aware of setting those parameters, a direct download of a cocoa installer would be nice, especially because Apple will drop the cocoa support.

I was also hoping for the direct download of a Cocoa version, unfortunately not yet. In the mean time, all new users should check in here: 

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/board,28.0.html

Many people are willing to help get folks up and running in Cocoa. While requiring some additional work installing, it is very stable and usable.

Thanks for this latest version.

I uninstalled my older version completely and deleted the folder yet this totally new install shows me as having OPM installed packages.
UOS shows as Yes and BGRABitmap as partially.
I don't have these as component tabs in the IDE of 2.04.

I installed the latest 2.04 r61665 64bit. on W10 Pro.

Lazarus stores it config in the user profile.
On Win that is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\lazarus
On Linux that is /home/username/.lazarus

For 2ndary installs the folder can be chosen.

The installer has an option to clear that data.

So the IDE will see the config, and OPM may see what used to be installed.
The component tabs are missing, because "installs" must be compiled into the IDE, but the new IDE does not have them....
They probably will be there once you rebuild the IDE.

Thanks guys!
Installed the new version and all works like before.
I installed 2.04 over the old 2.02 version after making a backup of the 2.02 folder, then once rebuild the IDE and all settings and components were back again.
For me that's the easiest way on a Windows system to get up and running without too much work.

Thank you so much the lazarus team!

I'll give it a try ASAP

@Martin_fr: I had also tested it with VirusTotal.
Tried today and same message from trend micro.
I have asked for the temporary AV unload code because I could not install the old 2.0.2 back, same error.
I'm sure I (eventually) get the code and then will install Lazarus again

Thanks for your response.
I'll locate the info and try again.

If you had existing components installed before they will be marked for install in the left panel of the package list..

  Perform a IDE rebuild and they will install on the tabs.

I have been away for a while, but will be returning soon.

Congratulations.

I cleared away all the AppData stuff and started again.
Worked perfectly this time.

This version seems to load components onto a form quicker than earlier versions. This is one of the main noticeable differences between Delphi and Lazarus IDE.

[VTwin]

So far so good. I installed 2.0.4 on Windows 7 and Ubuntu in VirtualBox. Everything seems great. I'm still running trunk on Mac. Thanks for the excellent work.

Finally installed 2.0.4 after unloading the AV, works
