This is an automated message. A new linux snapshot has been compiled and has been installed on ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v10/linux/ see

As a newcomer to Linux I've been meaning to ask what is the difference between the two snapshots, the one in the v10/linux directory and the one in the /snapshot/linux directory ?

Sorry if it's a dumb question.

/snapshot/linux contains snapshots of the 1.1 development version. This version contains new features and is not always release quality.

v10/linux contains the 1.0.5 development version. This is the stable branch of the compiler, most of the time it is release quality.

So if you want to expiriment with new features (like interfaces) you should take the 1.1 branch.

If you want a stable compiler including all the latest bugfixes you need to take the 1.0.5 branch.

This info should be in readmes... but anyway...the snapshots in the v10 directory are the fixes for the latest release (1.0.4) - just fixes no new features since v 1.0.4, those in snapshot/ are the latest versions - still snapshots- candidates for next release with all the latest features gizmos from developers... including a significant compiler update etc etc HTH.
