Both branches are divergating, and merging gets more difficult. Also all changes (like a lot of alignment stuff for ARM) would be held up. Note that I'm happy with either way. I just want a regular release schedule no matter what course (early 2.4 or late 2.4) is taken, and paint the consequences of declaring the uncodestuff. I want to avoid self-delusion of painting optimistic timeschedules and saying "this time a major release preparation won't take as long as last time". It is late november now, and 2.4 preparation hasn't started, so I have doubts we'll see 2.4 before summer, even _IF_ we don't wait for more unicode functionality (ansistring_with_UTF8, TEncoding) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
