A couple of days back I sent a message to this list, but I have not seen it being distributed. Was it lost in the ISP move?

Anyway, I'll try to reconstruct it.

Last year, the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) started using open source compilers in their competition (FreePascal 1.0.4 and GCC 2.95.2). At IOI2001 in Finland, about 50% of approximately 250 participants used Pascal. As a consequence, FreePascal is also used in many of the national and regional informatics olympiads, which together have a much larger participation.

IOI2002 will be held in Korea from August 18 to 25. There will be a review meeting that inspects all of the competition material (e.g. tasks and tools) from May 12 to 17.

Is any information available on when a 1.0.6 bug-fix release can be expected? (Or 1.2)

I would be very much in favor of using a newer release because it repairs a number of bugs. You can imagine that we would prefer not to base the competition on some (arbitrary) 1.0.5 snapshot (even though it may be better than the current 1.0.4). This would give rise to all kinds of difficulties (which version is the exact official IOI version; who decides whether it is sufficiently stable, etc.).

Is there any way in which we can influence or help in this matter?

Best regards,

I have seen none of those messages, and I am still very interested in the responses. Can someone mail them to me directly. The archives don't seem to work :-(.

Oops!
My apologies for using Dutch. I tried to send an e-mail to Tom directly, but something seems to have gone wrong :(

Groetjes,
