Don Alfredo seems to say in that thread that main works on 7.6.

Sadly it is not working, see: https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/722

3.2.4 is about fixing bugs. The first two are not bugs.
Only the third one should be a candidate.
The other two ?
Did you test against Delphi?
Seems more a feature request and that won't happen in a point release.
Thaddy:
Just release. Other than what is already known at least on my platforms ( quite a lot) I haven't found anything serious. Is the problem just release nanament?
Surely one minor platform can not Withhold a point release!

Some news from OpenBSD 76 front.
I installed a fresh release of OpenBSD 76, from scratch (and so not a upgrade from 75).
The binary from there: https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/snapshot/fixes_3_2/x86_64-openbsd/
(thanks to BSaidus) can compile and the apps are running. ;D
Only needed to create synlink from the needed libc.so.86.0 and libpthread,so.57.0 (not sure by memory about the version) in fpc to the installed version in OpenBSD 76.
So to resume, it seems that OpenBSD 75 and his upgrade is not for fpc. (but OpenBSD 74 is ok)
But for compiling fpc himself on OpenBSD 76, using last fpupdeluxe or from gmake makefile from fpc, the compilation fails.
It would be interesting to know how those binaries were compiled from https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/snapshot.

Thank you Fred for this post.
I think the maintainer of the builds is Pierre Muller (do not know his email), if you can get his email to contact it.
To the release team, Please consider updating the FPC for OpenBSD plateforme (i386, amd64).
Thank you.
Yes, I confim that the maintainer is Pierre Muller
