Hi,

Any idea on what the next FPC version is going to be based on? By that I mean, is the next version of FPC going to be based on the FPC 2.0.x (or 2.0.5) code or on the FPC 2.1.1 code?

Also if I want to develop using the latest stable code, do I use FPC 2.0.4 or FPC 2.0.x (2.0.5 which as far as I know is 2.0.4 with extra bug fixes)?

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

The current plan is to base it on 2.1 code.

2.0.5 contains some additional bug fixes. However, we are not actively applying all bug fixes to 2.0.5 anymore, it is more on request.

Excellent.

That's perfect. Just wanted to make sure I am testing on the most stable version or the two, so I gathered it would be 2.0.5.

From what I understand, when compiling a new build from code, FPC will be compiled using the current version that is already on your system. Afterwards, once the new compiler is built, the compilation process will switch over to the new compiler.
