Fair enough. The changes I am referring to was discussed in private by a few developers, and I believe it was implemented about a year ago, so not really "last minute". It's new code that adds additional functionality to existing RTL classes, but will not affect any existing projects. We have done the exact same in tiOPF's base classes and it didn't break a single application or any of our 1600+ unit tests. Michael van C. simply hasn't had time to commit it to FPC trunk - he seems to be rather busy these days, but that's no fault of his. I also didn't feel right to nag him about it either, so didn't. I guess I'm just a bit upset that this seems to be a regular occurrence to features I need. It will now probably have to wait another 2 years or so before we can build onto that functionality, but one consolation prize is that the "implements" language feature will now work correctly and can be used. I like many others only use Stable or Fixes branches for production code. Oh well, lets hope for better luck in 2-3 years time. :) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
