Hi,

I added the 'cpstrnew' branch to the Git mirror repository on GitHub.

http://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/tree/cpstrnew

If you are using the Git repository, there is nothing new you need to do. The usual 'git pull' will automatically bring in the new branch details. After the pull you will see the new branch is available via the 'git branch -r' command.

Regards,

I forgot to mention - for those new to Git and the Git mirror of FPC. If you think pulling in 4 branches will be a huge download, you will be pleasantly surprised. I just did a full clone (full history) of the FPC git mirror. It was a total download of only 62MB. That download includes the following branches: 'master' (trunk), 'fixes_2.2', 'fixes_2.4' and 'cpstrnew'
