Hi all,

I know latest stable release of fpc is v.2.2.0. But the latest updates and bug fixes are done on v.2.2.1. I found some serious updates and bug fixes are already done on v.2.2.1. But, is it safe to use v.2.2.1 for production use? Or should I stick with v.2.2.0 for production use?

I know I shouldn't use new development release (v.2.3.1) for production use since it contains new features that perhaps still not fully tested or buggy.

TIA.

Generally 2.2.1 is reliable, but bugfixes can have unforseen effects. You will have to weigh the advantage of the bugfixes against unforseen effects by those fixes. We cannot make that choice for you.

Understood. Say I'd like to apply some updates/fixes (into my v.2.2.0 installation) but reject some other updates/fixes, then what should I do? SVN seems to get ALL updates/fixes.

The only solution then is of course to compile your own FPC. You can retrieve any patch from svn and apply it to 2.2.0 or remove it from current 2.2.1.
