Lazarus Release 3.0

[RayoGlauco]

Many thanks to the developers! 
New version installed and working without problems.

OK, I have just built and released version 0.37 of tomboy-ng notes, 16 packages, five widget sets, Linux, Windows and MacOS, all looking good !

Not only does it work as it should, it looks and feels 'polished', slick, everything nicely sorted during that first start up. All the debugger decisions made, its a real credit to the team. Thanks folks.

And it seems Abou is hard at work too, I just saw some activity over at Debian !

One minor note. The About Lazarus still shows version as release candidate.

Can you check, if you run it with startlazarus, and if you had the RC before => maybe there is an RC1 exe in your ~/.lazarus (or somewhere in a subfolder) => and startlazarus would be starting this.

If so, that will be fine as soon, as either
- you delete that RC1 file
- you rebuild your 3.0 (which you need to do, if you need any packages installed)

Thanks ( to all of you ) for feedback. 

I must admit I have never tried rebuilding lazarus. I just use it out of the box. So far I only use standard components in my programming. Lazarus is excellent for my needs.

In this case I made a brand new virtual machine (Debian 12.4) dedicated to the Lazarus 3.0.
Indeed it was downloaded from the sourceforge link.

Same result, still shown as 3.0RC1

Hey Team Lazarus,

Many, OH SO many thanks for the new release!!!

This is hard work  that you guys doe and it's always good to see you complete some well done tasks !!

At the risk of raining on someone's parade, I just want to get your attention on this issue with Lazarus 3.0 on a GitHub runner with ubuntu-22.04:

Nonetheless, this is an occasion for celebration!!!

Cheers,

Hey Y'all,

After installing Lazarus 3.0 via the newly minted fpcupdeluxe v2.4.0b, and everything going smoothly, I encountered an issue with the ToDo package that comes with Lazarus.

I've been using this package for quite a while with no issue. It's even working as intended under main aka trunk 3.99.

But, alas, after installing it under Lazarus v3.0, I'm now getting an AV every time the window shows, docked or not.

Should I write an issue on GitLab or is here as good as any?!

Cheers,
Gus

Try a "clean" rebuild from the Tools menu "Configure build Lazarus". If it still crashes, then report it.

Also try on a new empty project. In case it only reproduces with certain projects open.
(if you can catch a stacktrace of the crash => great)


Also which FPC version?

And does it crash, if you rebuild with -O- or -O1 ?

I confirm, I also installed this package on Debian. The version actually displays RC1.

I checked the source files for changes from the latest commits from the fixes_3_0 branch, and they are missing. In particular, there is no commit that fixes the DateTimePicker bug (#40582):

installation on a clean one. When rebuilding, an error

The build error appears only when rebuilding with cleaning.

Hey Martin,

Try a "clean" rebuild from the Tools menu "Configure build Lazarus". If it still crashes, then report it.

I'm not sure how much cleaner a new fpcupdeluxe installation from source can be.

The only rebuilds before installing the ToDo package were OPM and Docking, made via fpcupdeluxe.
I've not done a "clean" rebuild as you mentioned, but this is as clean as it can be, no?

Also try on a new empty project. In case it only reproduces with certain projects open.
(if you can catch a stacktrace of the crash => great)

Like I said, this was the first package I installed after running the actual IDE.
During the fpcupdeluxe phase, I installed OPM and Docking but never fired up the IDE itself.
Right after running the IDE for the first time, the next step was to install the ToDo package, so the IDE was still with no prior project loaded.

Also which FPC version?

When I install a new version of Lazarus, via fpcupdeluxe, I always pair it on both stable, so FPC is version 3.2.2 as per the current pairing of FPC and Lazarus versions for stable.

And does it crash, if you rebuild with -O- or -O1 ?

Haven't tried.
I'll have a go at some of the options you mentioned and then come back.

Cheers,
Gus

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey Martin,

I changed the settings to what you can see on the attached image, then added the package and rebuilt, and now all is fine.

I'm satisfied and I'm gonna STFU about it 

Many thanks for your help, it was quite appreciated !!!!

Cheers,
Gus
