[fpc-devel] What about splitting compiler and packages releases?
Hi all, I was wondering: would it make sense to split the release schedule of the compiler and the included packages? Compiler releases are not frequent (latest is May 2021). In the meantime, useful functionality, bug fixes and improvements have been added to the packages. To use these added and updated packages, AFAIK, there are two possibilities: 1. Use the trunk compiler (eg using fpcupdeluxe). Not recommended for production environments. 2. Use a stable compiler, manually download updated packages to a different location and make sure the compiler uses the updated packages instead of the ones included with the compiler distribution (bit of a hassle). I think it would be very useful to have more frequent (stable) package releases, while the compiler itself can stick to the current frequency of (thoroughly tested) releases. If I miss a smart way to use updated packages with a stable compiler, please let me know. Thanks!

[fpc-devel] Request for review of patch for security risk in fcl-web/openssl
Hi, Issue 40479 is about a security risk when OpenSSL is used in fcl-web (TFPHTTPClient). Using the current source/trunk, TLS certificates having a wrong hostname are accepted, while they should be rejected. An easy patch for this is available, I kindly ask for a review by one of the developers: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/40479 If I can help in any way to facilitate this review, please let me know. (BTW I also submitted a patch for a GnuTLS problem, which is less important because it is no security risk, but still a review is highly appreciated: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/40195#note_1621128840) Peter. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
