Fpc Updates
« on: January 14, 2025, 07:18:08 am »
Hi All,

The latest update information is available on the Free Pascal page as follows.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. May 20th, 2021
  2. FPC version 3.2.2 has been released!
Regarding the fact that there has been no update for a very long time;
I have heard from some people that the situation is worrying and that they do not want to use it in a new project.

I would like to hear your opinions. Best regards.

  • Kallstadt seems a good place to evict Trump to.

It is not worrying at all.
A new release is done when it is done. The fixes branch is such that you can assume this will be 3.2.4. so use that (fpcupdeluxe can build that for you if you can't build from source yourself)
Release management takes time.

Note that I am a little bit worried that people may expect many new features and that is not the case in a point release.
That will only be the case once trunk becomes a RC for fpc - probably - 4.0. which contains very many new goodies.
Then again, I build trunk/main almost daily and certainly weekly, depending on what I see in the commits.
Then again some more, only advanced users and the really stupid beginner ones use trunk.

But I am sure they don't want the Trumps back...
