Hi,

We published an RC2 for Free Pascal 3.2.4.

This is a bugfix release, although some features have been backported, mostly in RTL and Packages.

A (partial) list of fixed issues is available on the WIKI page:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.4

As usual, installers are available for major platforms:

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/aarch64-macosx/

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/i386-macosx/

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/x86_64-linux/

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/x86_64-win64/

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/i386-win32/

Other platforms may still follow, for example:

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/x86_64-freebsd/

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/i386-os2/

Sources for the release:

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/source/

and documentation in all available formats:

https://downloads.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/3.2.4-rc2/docs/

I expect the final 3.2.4 release to be published beginning of november, so this is your last chance to test the installer and report problems.

Particularly from the Lazarus team, I'd also like to hear if there are any problems with the 3.2.4 RC.

Michael.

Sven Harazim kindly provided an aarch64 installer for linux, see:

I've set up an Arch Linux package link here;

I assume there is no define (or some other way) to know if the 3.2.4 compiler is rc1 or rc2 ? Unless I hack such a define into the source code, of course.

No, there is not, cause in the end only the final release shall count.

There's only a command line parameter: fpc -iW
