Ты прав, есть много локализованных форумов, но... You're right there are many language specific forums but English became the standard "in fact". I see the trend of last 10 years when Russian developers who lived in Russia write yours blogs in English only.

I see that supporting two version of units is hard much less the units interfaces was never copied from earlies version of Delphi AFAIK. It's a little easier when starting from fork. Actually I should support D7/FPC and XE10 compilation of few dozen units and and despite the fact that they started with a fork it's not easy at all. ----- -- Regards, Serguei -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Bug-in-FPC-3-0-0-was-Bug-in-FPC-3-0-0-tp5724274p5724463.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
