FPC 3.2.4-rc1 available

I guess the x86_64-win64 situation (https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/32848) should be mentioned on the release notes?

No, because it is that way since forever.

About 10 years later, and there is still no official 64-bit release for Win64? I know it's simple to compile one yourself - I've done that for over a decade, but come on. 32-bit windows hasn't been a [Microsoft] thing for very long now.

The Lazarus installer for Windows 64-bit includes a 64-bit compiler.

FPC 3.2.4RC1 has a win32/win64 combo installer.  (so win32 + win64 crosscompiler in one installer)

I've set up the release candidate on the Arch AUR here;
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fpc-rc

Note, to try out with lazarus, it will be necessary to rebuild lazarus first,
otherwise, will get those dreaded "checksum changed" issues!

Cheers,
