I don't want to modify too much so I would like to use the same
version now...
How many and what kind of modifications are needed?
I know because I had to do it recently and the answer is: a lot.
And I wasn't even using a really old version (I last modified the
program 3 years ago).
I another case, with an older program (last touched in November 2015)
where I just needed to change one line, the diff is around 11000 lines
(though many of those are just useless changes in the lfm files).
All libraries try to stay backwards compatible. As a general rule new
versions are better than old versions.
And introduce new bugs, change the defaults so your program no longer
works as it should, etc.
I've seen it all.
I recommend you jump to the latest versions of FPC and Lazarus.
I try to do that, but trust me, it isn't easy.
It's not the first time I had to go back to a previous version due to
bugs (or simply different behavior) in the compiler, lcl, other
libraries, etc.
