Hello,
My question is about the web-site: Aren't you considering to publish something like an "upgrade" version of FPC? 25MBs is quite a lot to download. FPC is still developing, it would be convenient to keep always up-to-date by downloading just changes.
thnak you,
Ondrej Lonek

An upgrade will also be very large. From the 25MB there will be around 20MB of new files.

With every release, everything gets changed. The reason is that when the compiler changes, in some cases the generated code and the ppu file structure also changes (and between two releases, both happen most of the time).

If you don't want to download everything, you can download the separate packages of the things you want to upgrade (ie. it's possible you don't want the new sources, or not immediately at least)
