Hello,

some months ago there was a discussion that FPC programs itself can run multiple threads but the RTL is not thread-safe. Somebody said this would change in the next versions.

So, what's aboud thread-safety in the current version? When will FPC fully support multi-threaded applications?

Don't expect things to change soon wrt mutlithreading. There will never be a deadline when multithreading is ready as the time of the developpers is very limitted atm.
