There will however be no roadmap for these features and more importantly they won't be part of 3.0, because that version is currently prepared for release and thus has a feature freeze. Regards, Sven It would be nice if FPC adopt RC versions. So anyone could do tests just installing it via setup, instead of using GIT / SVN. And Lazarus RCs could be release using this RCs FPCs (e.g: Lazarus-1.4-RC1 has FPC-3.0.0-RC1). We /are/ doing RCs just like we've done in the past. Before 3.0.0 will be released there will at least be a 3.0.0RC1 and maybe also a 3.0.0RC2. But it takes time to prepare these and thus RCs are only prepared when a new release is planned. Everything else would be - simply spoken - a waste of our time that is better spent improving the compiler, the RTL and whatever else we have. Regards, Sven The problem is that FPC take a lot of time to release new versions. If there was a version (RCs) every six months it would help a lot. Today I'm 32 years old, and probably I'll see the FPC 3.0 be released when I'm 33 years old. FPC 4.0 -> 40 years old. FPC 5.0 -> I will be already retired. =D
You shouldn't bother with version numbers too much. The next version could have as easily been 2.8 and the one after it 2.10. It's the features that count... And our normal rythm is a major release around every two years (currently a bit longer with 3.0, but nobody's perfect...)
Just suggestions. I follow other programmer tools, and they don't take much time to release new versions, and some of them have fewer programmers that FPC community. =/
