Lazarus Bugfix Release 4.6

[Martin_fr]

Before I mess my previous installations, this file "lazarus-4.6-fpc-3.2.4-rc1-d3a5f442eeff-win64.exe" is a stadard installer as per official release ? So I run it and see the installer dialogs ?

Yes, same installer as the official release. Also has the "secondary install" options which allows you to specify a separate config dir, and make a fully independent install (it may change what is opened by double click on lpi, or what windows lists as installed in the uninstall list / but that is the only overlap, and only if you do click install in the installer)

Thanks Martin.

Hi, I noticed a typo in the README.md. It says the installers include FPC 3.3.2, but they actually come with version 3.2.2:

Except on the Mac, where they come with 3.2.4-rc1.

I am confused now.
Shall the snapshot include fpc 3.2.4-rc1 ?

[Martin_fr]

The official release (link to sourceforge on the left side of this forum / or on our homepage) comes with FPC 3.2.2. Except for Mac, which comes with 3.2.4RC .


Earlier in this thread is a post (by me) which links to SNAPSHOTS (not the release, but the same Lazarus version/commit as the release). Those snapshots are for windows and include the 3.2.4RC instead of 3.2.2.


And apparently some readme file contains a type in the fpc version. I have not checked this myself, I just noted someone saying so in this thread.

[Paolo]

Ok, you are referring to the laz 4.6. Official release .

[Martin_fr]

To add to my previous post, that is what they should contain.

I did the Windows installers, Mattias did Linux and Mac. I did not verify his work, but I have no reason to think it would contain anything but what was mentioned.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful work!

I've had the chance to test the version on Windows, Linux (Ubuntu), and MacOS (Taohe), and they work perfectly.

Just one question: since you used fpc 3.2.4 to recompile the IDE on MacOS, I get the usual link error. I can get around this by setting the -WM10.15 parameter in the compilation options.
Is this the best way to proceed? I was hoping that fpc 3.2.4 had solved the problem.

Thank you very much for all Lazarus Team

Yes, "3.3.2" is definitely a typo. The file name even says "3.2.2" right above it.

@Martin_fr, can anyone fix this on the SourceForge page?

[Martin_fr]

Ouch, the issue exists since the release of Lazarus 3.0

[Martin_fr]

Fixed for 4.6

[Martin_fr]

Btw, a FPC version 3.3.2 does not exist and should never exist. If the 2nd digit is odd, then so must be the 3rd digit

I use the “modern” IDe (docking).
(almost) everytime after a rebuild of the IDe, the positions/size of the docks are messed up.

Win 7 and 11.
