I could not find any of this in the documentation, but I may have looked in the wrong places. Of course, I am not reading TP / Delphi doc when using FPC :-). > The release of closed source PPUs need to be done on a per stable release. > Just like with delphi and tp7. > > So please don't make a big issue out of this, the situation is still the > same as it was for the last 20+ years. Except that there were fewer releases/platforms to cope with, when using TP or Delphi. I just happened to be bitten by it in an unexpected way. If it is properly documented, then there is no issue. I have tried to remedy that by creating the wiki page on relasing units without source code. It could be helpful if an FPC developer checks that page: <http://www.freepascal.org/wiki/index.php/Releasing_units_without_source_code> It might be useful to include a bit in the User's Manual as well (updated Section 3.3 on Compiling a unit).
