The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2002 will be held this year in Korea from August 18 to 25. In May, there will be a review meeting of all competition material (including tasks and tools).

Last year (in Finland) we used FreePascal 1.0.4 and gcc 2.95.2. There were some 250 participants in the competition, and a much larger number of competitors use the compilers in national and regional olympiads, that are organized to select delegations for IOI 2002.

If at all feasible, I would be in favor of having at least a new release in the bug-fix branch (i.e. 1.0.6) of FreePascal well before IOI2002. There are quite a number of important fixes to benefit from.

As you can imagine, the IOI organization prefers to use an official release, rather than some arbitrary 1.0.5 snapshot (even though that may be better than 1.0.4).

Do the developers have any idea when a 1.0.6 release might be available? Is there any way in which this can be influenced?

Best regards,

Tom Verhoeff
Chair of the IOI Scientific Committee

Work is done on 1.0.6 currently.

BTW, where are the bugreports for 1.0.4's IDE?

Good news...even as we speak, if you look in /dist on the freepascal.org ftp site you'll see developers starting to make the various 1.0.6s ... Also the email/air waves are full of stuff to do with demos, installers etc...so watch this space...think there is a planned date but not 100% sure when... should be n days away, where n isn't too large...In meantime you can track what the release will be in terms of functionality via the daily snapshots 1.0.5 ...HTH J
