Can someone please tell me where 2.6.1 comes from and what its status is? The FPC website still has 2.6.0 as the official release. On the other hand, some of the Lazarus snapshots include 2.6.1., but only for Windows targets.
Since the list seems to be fairly quiet this morning, and liable to correction from anybody more experienced: 2.6.1 is a development version that might become 2.6.2, i.e. 2.6 "fixes". 2.7 might become 2.8, this is based on the convention that an odd number is always a development version. Lazarus 1.0 builds with 2.6.0, Lazarus "trunk" now builds with 2.7.1 although I believe that the core developers have put a lot of effort into stabilising this over the last few days.
One thing I do need to confirm is which of the FCL changes in 2.7.1 appear in 2.6.1. I have a particular issue with a type change in the DB unit where TBookmark changes from a pointer to a TByte, and I need to track the version number change in units that depend on this.
I think that's going to need attention from a core developer/manager. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
