Hi,

I have decide to keep compatibility for Generics.Collections with FPC 3.0.4 and trunk as long as possible (library is important for many users). First update and related bug report:

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33921

The patch includes latest changes from original library :

* basic information why Generics.Collections library in FPC trunk is not up to date
* unified code base between FPC trunk, library and NewPascal. Previously trunk was priority, so there was some minor differences between FPC trunk version, github repo and NewPascal version. Now the order is : library on github > NewPascal > FPC trunk
* reworked patch and reworked test from Michalis Kamburelis for xxHash32 pure pascal version (problem highly visible for MacOS version and for non Intel CPUs), fix issue 9 in "github issues"
* link to proper bugtracker for bugs related to this library : https://github.com/maciej-izak/generics.collections/issues
* update for inactive freesparta.com links (newpascal.org is used instead of freesparta.com)
* some new proper credits in few places

Two questions regarding this:
- who is DaThoX and in how far are they related to you and your work? (just out of curiosity)
- why is it that you adjusted DaThoX' copyright range, but not yours at the top?

DaThoX is my self-employment company (am I CEO? lol), initially intended for gamedev, the full name of company is:

"Maciej Izak DaThoX"

It was used for my work for Embarcadero (XE2 times) and for some projects with my small team (anyway the huge amount of work for rendering and physics was done by Krystian Komisarek, my job was rather related to back-end and for other useful libraries and tools around):

all created in Object Pascal.

DaThoX is now active again for my new contracts, sadly not game-dev. "DaThoX" will be used for some commercial tools or plugins for Lazarus in the future for invoicing.

Krystian still works in gamedev and is using DaThoX name (probably with sentiment), sadly all his new stuff is created in C++ :

on the top is date of creation :) (it seems like standard, but maybe I am wrong).

We usually have the date ranges at the top 🤷‍♀️
