Hello everybody,

I'm happy to announce that release 2.1.4 aka 2.2.0 beta is out. We ask our users to test the changes made in the last few years. This beta will be available for about two months, whereafter 2.2.0 will be released. Helping us to test version 2.1.4 now, can avoid problems when you finally update your fpc-version to 2.2.0.

Greetings

Joost
(on behalf of the whole FPC team)

Until now everything working fine. Just one little annoying thing: the distributed source file (fpc-2.1.4.source.tar.gz - gotten from sf) comes with the .svn directories. I hope in the release this will be fixed (saves some time in recursive searches).

Hello,

Is it more interesting from your (FPC developer) POV that people use/test the 2.1.4 release or the 2.1.5 "branch"?

Cheers,
Flávio

there seems to be a problem, when the archive bit of a unit source file is reset. I am running on Windows 98 SE and I am testing the ARM-Linux compiler. Other platforms should be affected too.

The compiler does not find the unit, if the archive bit is reset: "Fatal: Can't find unit ..."

Regards, Bernd.

the error is also reported in the wrong unit by the compiler.

sorry for the noise. Last update ;-) The compiler does not find the unit, if ALL attribute bits are reset. My backup system is fiddling around with the archive bits, so I came across this error.
