[fpc-pascal] [Core] Release FPC-2.2.2rc1 is available for download
After 9 months of active development and bug fixes, the Free Pascal core
team is proud to announce the availability of the first release
candidate of the expected 2.2.2 compiler.
Users who want to test this release candidate are encouraged to report
bugs and regressions they encounter as soon as possible in order to get
them in next release candidate planned for next month and the final
release possibly before end of August, 2008.
The release candidate packages are available for download in
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/2.2.2rc1
The new release contains many bug-fixes and some new features. The
main purpose of this release is to fix problems reported with FPC 2.2.0,
and to remove all potentially tainted code from our source code base.
Please also see http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.2.2 for a list
of changes which may affect the behaviour of previously working code,
and
how to cope with these changes.
Some highlights are:
All:
* All code potentially infringing on CodeGear copyrighted code has
been
reimplemented using a cleanroom approach.
Platforms:
* Incompatibilities with Mac OS X 10.5's new default linker have been
resolved.
Compiler:
* PIC support for Mac OS X (on by default, disable with -Cg-)
* several bugs in the experimental generics support have been fixed,
but this feature is still in beta
* initialisation and finalisation of shared libraries has been fixed
for all Darwin platforms, and for Linux/i386
* support for {$packset x} directive to enable set packing
(use {$packset 1} for Delphi-compatible sets, but note that the
format is different on little and big endian platforms)
RTL:
* thread resource leaking under unix has been fixed
* the widestring manager for unix has been completed
* several floating point to string conversion errors have been fixed
* significantly improved variant support
* implementation of RTL exception handler for OS/2 allowing proper
translation of some runtime errors
* various fixes for GO32v2 improving useability of this target
* OS/2 RTL enhanced to allow seamless working with large files (64-bit
file system API calls) where available (WSeB/MCP/eCS/Warp 4 with
FP15)
Packages:
* the Windows API interface units have been significantly updated
* Apple universal interfaces updated to r234 of the common FPC/GPC/MW
interfaces
Documentation
* Documentation was updated completely to conform to the actual
state of the compiler and RTL.
See http://bugs.freepascal.org/changelog_page.php for the list of
reported bugs which have been fixed in this release.

On 13 Jun 2008, at 09:41, Graeme Geldenhuys wrote: #1 FBLib uses the standard LGPL. We link that software directly into our executables. We don't use it as an external (dynamically linked) .so/.dll library. FBLib is pretty much a wrapper for the Firebird libfbclient.so library. If this poses an issue, it should be fairly easy for us to switch to a different library like sqldb included with FPC. If it's plain LGPL and you link it statically, then you have to supply all object files of the rest of your program to your customers (when they ask for it; and you have to inform them of this right they have, by including a copy of the LGPL with your software and referring to it in your licence agreement), so they can relink your application with a newer version of that library should they wish to do so. #2 I know MPL is not GPL compatible, but we are not creating GPL'ed software. We are creating software used in-house for our franchisees. We do not sell our software either. So would this be a concern for us? The GPL and (L)GPL only talk about distributing software. Whether you sell it, give it away for free, rent it out or ask for a postcard in exchange is irrelevant. I'm part of the core developers for tiOPF and am pretty sure that if we need to change tiOPF's license to a Modified LGPL or dual license it, it should be possible. Again, we link tiOPF directly into our executable. Does this pose any issues for us? MPL is not (modified) LGPL compatible either, so you need a dual license.

Thanks Jonas for you reply... We sent emails to the relevant authors of the libraries we use to rectify any licensing issues. Just a minor question regarding the Modified LGPL license used by FPC and Lazarus. Below I quoted the Modified LGPL... "As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library." This part I understand and relates to static linking... " If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version." This part I don't quite understand... Could somebody explain this please?
