We are planning the next release: Lazarus 2.0.10

[JuhaManninen]

35467 - TWindowProcHelper.CalcClipRgn micropatch.

Can be considered a bug fix. There was an uninitialized variable. Added to the list for merging.

34759 - For Windows there is a inconsistency in the use of wsFullScreen for WindowState.

This is a bug fix, too, although there were conflicting opinions. Nobody has complained during a long test period so I guess it is safe to merge. Added to the list.

35465 - The LCLBoundsToWin32Bounds function has two unused parameters: Width and Height.
35466 - TWin32WSCustomPage.DestroyHandle micropatch.
35694 - Micropatch of LazMethodList unit.

These are not bug fixes. The rule is clear and simple: a bug fix release gets only bug fixes.
Why would you want to merge them? They will be in the major 2.2. release automatically.
I remember having the exact same discussion with you earlier BTW.

[JuhaManninen]

Thanks for Mattias and Martin for building this extra bug fix release in addition to the other releases.
Now all release builds depend very much on their efforts.

I added r61295 to the list for merging. It is more than a year old. Forgotten earlier somehow.

Thanks.
If not a secret, to give link to 2.0.10 trunk+3.20, because where  I have is not valid?

Lazarus 2.0.10  does not yet exist. This conversation is about preparing 2.0.10.
2.0.10  will be made in the next 14 days.

Trunk is different from 2.0.10. Trunk is from svn. You would need to build yourself.

FPC 3.2
You can download: See menu on the left: FreePascal > Download  -- But that is without Lazarus

With Lazarus will be in 14 days.

Friends, will there be any changes or improvements in the debugger?

[Martin_fr]

Friends, will there be any changes or improvements in the debugger?

Not in 2.0.10.

Well I think, FPC 3.2 has some fixes to dwarf debug info. But in most cases you will not note that. (i.e array length do not work, when cross compiling between 32 and 64 bit).


But after that the next release (no date set yet, sorry) will hopefully be Lazarus 2.2.
And that has a few changes. (They can be used in Lazarus trunk, already).
The list can be found here: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_2.2.0_release_notes#IDE_Changes
And there is an overview here: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Debugger_Status

It will contain one of the long-standing requests: "Run to cursor" (in addition to the current "Step to cursor").  (Windows/Linux)
If you are looking for "method calling": I.e. StringList.GetText => that is not yet in. But its getting further up on my personal todo list.

If you have any particular problems, please report them in a separate thread.

[davilajunior]

Thank you very much for the information. Congratulations on your work, it's a great tool!

The Lazarus team has scheduled

      Lazarus 2.0.10
      for July 2020 (estimated 4th to 11th)

Hi!

What about the 19th of June:

Blaise Pascal, born on June 19, 1623, in Clermont-Ferrand, France, ....

And the language Pascal must have 50th birthday  in 2020.
Does anybody know the exact date?

[dbannon]

What about the 19th of June:

Could be a bit of a rush to make 19th June.

And the language Pascal must have 50th birthday  in 2020. Does anybody know the exact date?

He was very much the academic, so driven by publications. So, the date his first paper on the subject was published perhaps ?  Or the first paper to use the term 'pascal' ?

more research is indicated ....

EDIT : "The programming language pascal" -  Acta Informatica 1, 35–63 (1971). Received30 October 1970,  Issue Date March 1971

A programming language called Pascal is described which was developed on the basis of Algol 60........

So, 30 October was the date his submission was received by the Journal, it might be better defined than the jurnal's publication date .

The intended minimum requirements for the release will be:
...
macOS:
   10.5 to 10.12; Carbon (32bit), Cocoa (64bit, beta), qt and qt5
   (32 or 64bit).

I'm a little confused about that statement. Does it mean, that Lazarus 2.0.10 will only run on macOS 10.5 to 10.12? Or is 10.12 the minimum requirement and Lazarus 2.0.10 will run on 10.12 and higher up to Catalina (10.15)?
