I have been using fpc (cvs) with lazarus for the past several months and it is working great. I was looking at porting a few things over from delphi and that led me to wonder what the status of several of the items listed on the roadmap are. Is there a list that shows the status of the roadmap items or perhaps notes somewhere showing what has been implemented and is ready for testing?

Things I am interested in:
Variants
Interfaces
PIC/dynamic linking

Partially working. Missing are array support and ole automation server references.

Interfaces

Working, but the COM support is 'bare-bones' since many of Delphi's units for this are not yet implemented.

PIC/dynamic linking

You can write a library in FPC. Package support is still missing.

It should work out of the box (using the library keyword), only you must call FPC_INITIALIZEUNITS before using any I/O or string routines. (this calls the initialization code of all units, including the system unit).
