Hi,

Since this weekend the classes unit is based upon the fgl unit. What are the advantages of this change.

Does it make the code in the classes unit (for example TFPList, TList and TStringList) faster or does this just improve maintainability, e.g. because changes made in the fgl unit are automatically propagated to the lists in classes unit?

Is there any time frame on a bug fix for
http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=7910. This prevents compiling Lazarus with fpc 2.1.1. With this FGL change and the changes of last night in the resource strings, there are already two possible places for regressions. This might make things difficult when 7910 is finally fixed and I can compile Lazarus again, but not run it because of a bug in any of these (or other) things that have changed since last successful build.

I am taking the matter of the classes unit up. The dependency on the fgl unit will be undone.
