Hello,

I am fairly new to the Free Pascal community, so I hope this is the right place to ask. I have been active in open-source development for quite some time, although my Pascal experience so far has mainly been with Delphi.

I have been reading a little about the FPC 3.2.4 release and noticed that release branches and RC1 packages already exist. I was wondering what the current status of the release is and whether there are particular issues that are preventing further progress.

Are there still technical regressions or other release blockers, or is the main difficulty currently testing, packaging, available maintainers, or simply the time needed to coordinate the work?

I am mainly asking because I may be able to help with some testing. I currently have access to:

Windows x86-64,
Linux x86-64,
macOS on Apple Silicon,
Windows on ARM64,
and possibly a Raspberry Pi for ARM Linux testing.

I am not yet familiar with the Free Pascal release process, so I would first need some guidance about what would actually be useful and how testing is normally coordinated.

Is there a list of platforms, tests, or other smaller tasks for which help is currently needed?

Best regards,

I'm about to launch builds for 3.2.4 RC2, there have been many fixes merged since RC1.

Once the RC2 builds are availeble, any feedback you may have will be most welcome.

Michael.

Won't you try to merge fcl-web and vcl-compat and maybe some of the fcl-hash stuff ?
