Hello,

The Free Pascal team is pleased to announce that version 2.2.2 is released and available for download for all major platforms: (in alphabetical order)

Dos, FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, Windows, Windows CE

For different CPU types and both in 32 and 64 bit versions where applicable.

Version 2.2.2 is the new stable version. It contains mostly bugfixes, and selected backported features. No major new features are introduced.

Version 2.2.2 also has a cleanroom implementation of some routines that were suspected of copyright infringement. You are urged to upgrade to this new version to avoid possible copyright issues.

Finally, the documentation has been revised completely and was brought up-to-date, so it describes the current compiler and RTL behaviour as closely as possible.

You can download your copy from the usual location:

http://www.freepascal.org/download.var

A list of major changes is available on

http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.2.2

If you download from a mirror, you may have to wait a couple of days for the mirror to pick up the new version.

Enjoy,

The Free Pascal team.

Hi,

if I compile a pas file with 2.2.0, fpc send some information to console.

D:\>fpc xarray.pas
Target OS: Win32 for i386
Compiling xarray.pas
Linking xarray.exe
39 lines compiled, 0.1 sec , 35120 bytes code, 1656 bytes data

Now with 2.2.2 I need -vi to get these infos. Without the parameter the console stays blank. Is this intended?

greetings
Michael

The 2.2.0 installation wrote -vi to the configuration file. Probably this option is no longer there ?

Michael.

-vi is always needed. Usually, for a release, there is -viwh in your fpc.cfg.

Could you check if this is the case for 2.2.2 ?

Surprisingly, I don't found a fpc.cfg on my harddisk.

I had uninstalled the previous 2.2.0 an installed the 2.2.2 from sourceforge. But no config was generated.
