FPC 3.2.4, naming suggestions

[440bx]

naming FPC v3.2.4... hmmm....

maybe it should be named "chi va piano va sano"   (in English - roughly: "slow and steady wins the race")

[Paolo]

The complete sentece is "chi va piano va sano e va lontano"

5. "Rambunctious Raven"

"Rambunctious Raven" is good, but likely not characteristic of a stable branch.

"Reclusive Rhea"

[TRon]

As gitty as 3.2.4 

But seeing/reading the history: "Phoenix Rising" seems more appropriate

Question:

Q: FPC 3.0.0 was named "Pestering Peacock".
What should FPC 3.2.4 be named?

Answer:

A: As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or make decisions, but here are a few suggestions for naming FPC 3.2.4:

    Soaring Swallow
    Gliding Gull
    Majestic Magpie
    Radiant Raven
    Fluttering Falcon
    Regal Roc
    Nimble Nuthatch
    Swift Sparrow
    Majestic Mallard
    Effervescent Eagle.

It's up to the developers of FPC to choose a name that they think is appropriate for their software release.

[EDIT] Imho, not very creative, AI only thought about birds, few limited mind.

I suggest something more "aulico"

Ciao Simone, I don't think we are alone!

[…] What will be the name of 3.2.4 ? […]

There is none […] The name for 3.0.0 was an inside joke […]

[…] By the way, personally I like when projects have name for release. […]

This discussion is moot. Think about it: Why introduce names? It is, for instance, useful when you provide support for multiple versions at the same time (e. g. in the Debian context stable and oldstable). The name is handier for the mortal user in lieu of a string of “abstract numbers”. However, to my knowledge as far as the FPC is concerned, once there is a new release any previous release reaches EOL, thus is not supported anymore. Therefore, assigning names is pure vanity. I think we can skip that.

I agree.
I liked the "Majestic Magpie" and "Radiant Raven" suggestions.

Yes, I imagine, since the Pascal language is (was) very popular in Italy.

A Latin name is suggestive, after all 'Lazarus' is a latinized name.

Ciao Paolo! Ciao a tutti!

Huh, if I may, Lazarus name has Hebrew origin and means "God has helped".
