There are already 2 ideas for even further improvement: - Use 1 thread to fire events for all timers. Should be relatively easy. - Don't use synchronize to fire the timer, because that limits the use of timers to the main thread. This one is harder, and I must confess I don't have a clue on how to implement this in a platform independent manner...

Are the bugs really that severe that people can't wait for 2.2.2? I think that maintaining such separate branch isn't a good idea. If the fixes haven't been commited because they can have unprevisible side effects, releasing Lazarus with them may just as well fix a bug for some users, but add new bugs for lot's of other people, and then make this Lazarus release unusable for lot's of people. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I'm testing with a wrapper (Pas2Lua) for freepascal and It work okey in delphi-windows, freepascal-i386 but it does not work in freepascal for ARM due some problem with heap implementation in fpc-arm. how are you using (in this way) lua and freepascal in windows? Are you also using Pas2Lua? regards Jose Pascual. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
