Hello, The Free Pascal Team is pleased to announce that FPC version 1.9.8 (or 2.0.0-RC2) is available and ready for download. This is a pre-release of version 2.0. As such, it is considered a beta of the upcoming 2.0 release, which is expected to be released in a few weeks. While this is officially a beta, we believe that this version is release quality. We would very much like you download and install this version, and give any feedback regarding bugs and other issues. If no major bugs are found, version 2.0 will be released in a short timeframe. Highlights in this version: Compiler: + New platforms: - Linux: arm architecture (cross compiler). + Mac OS X: ABI-compliant passing of records to procedures and functions RTL/FCL/FV: * improved variant support * improved widestring support IDE: + vector unit window + x86_64/linux and sparc/linux working Docs: + txt format And of course many many bugfixes. A complete list of changes can be found in the whatsnew.txt file in the distribution. Downloads are available from the website for the following platforms: - Darwin (Mac OS X) - FreeBSD - Linux (I386/Sparc/PPC/x86_64 (amd64)/arm) - Netware (clib and libc) - Win32 To download, go to http://www.freepascal.org/sdown.html and select a mirror near you. Look in the section 'official beta releases' and select the platform of your choice; then follow the download instructions. If you choose the SourceForge mirror, the download instructions are different. Also note that sourceforge mirrors are not immediatly up-to-date. Enjoy it, The Free Pascal team. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
[fpc-pascal] FPC 1.9.8 - new TThread warning?
Hello,
Great! just picked it up few minutes before announced :)
now it throws warning (1.9.6 didn't)
Warning: Illegal compiler directive "$THREADING"
(I used {$THREADING ON} as described in the docs)
I followed the instructions given in the docs about multithreading.
i.e. {$ifdef unix},cthreads{$endif}
My question: Does something has changed?
Already submitted a bugreport "TThread.OnTerminate never gets called"
I still can't get it to work.
Thanks, best regards and keep up this good work

Re: [fpc-pascal] FPC 1.9.8 - new TThread warning?
Remove $THREADING directive. It is now built in

Very little has changed about the problem with CheckSynchronize that I've
reported last month. It doesn't work (tested under Linux only). Attached a
test program again, that compiles under Kylix and works counting from 1 to
10, but loops forever when compiled by FPC 1.9.8
May I ask if this issue is considered not important, and FPC 2.0 will born
with this bug still unresolved?
Regards,
Pedro

I've submitted a bug report just now, and got the number 3695. You understood the hint. These reports on the list tend to be forgotten. The bug tracker has a good memory. :-) The chances that this bug will be fixed before 2.0 have risen because of the bug report.
