Finally, FPC 2.6.4 has landed. FPC 2.6.4 is an update to 2.6.2 and 2.6.0 that contains most library progress over the 2.6.2. It will probably conclude the 2.6.x branch.

Building is still in progress and some formats (deb) and targets might not be available yet.

Changes that may break backwards compatibility are documented at: http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.6.4

Due to issues with mirroring, please use sourceforge as much as possible,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/

or the main (Hungarian) FTP server at

ftp://www.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.4/

We hope the freepascal.stack.nl mirror will come into sync again in the coming days.

Enjoy!

Version 2.6.4

****************************************************************************** What's New in 2.6.4

* Several fixes for winunits (and winceunits)

yes. Version will be updated to 2.6.5 tomorrow.

But note since 2.6.4 is probably the last release from the 2.6 branch, there won't be that many updates, the branch is only kept open for hypothetical killer bugs that require emergency packing of a new release.
