L.s.

the FPC team plans to start preparations for a 2.4.2 this month.

By this message I would like to encourage everybody to test recent snapshots as much as possible, and also to see if previously made fixes are propagated correctly.

Note that not all 2.5.1 patches can be merged. Very large intrusive changes will not be merged, specially inside the compiler.

Regards
Marco

on behalf of the FPC team.

Any chances to apply http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=16428 ?

This affects LCL db controls.

To be honest, I've applied it blindly, relying on Luiz's expertise on this matter. If he wants to it can be merged too.

Joost.

Although the patch is pretty simple and has been tested both in Delphi and fpc, after thinking some time, i realized that this fix has the potential to uncover another bugs. Given that will have little time to test that' dangerous. Moreover, the workaround in LCL has little impact on performance and we can live with it for more time.

So, please reconsider my request. Let's test it more through 2.5.1 cycle.

@Joost: i did not noticed the patch being applied to trunk yet. Thanks for the trust.

Luiz
