I just noticed the above property is missing in FPC 2.6.2

I am porting some old delphi code to FPC and noticed it. If I simply ignore this property value (always assume it to be arNone), will it cause any problem?

That depends on the application:
if the application expects a value to be filled in after a POST, it will not work.

But if the application assumes arNone everywhere, there should be no problem.

If that property is totally useless, why did FPC remove it?

We never introduced it.

It must be a post D7 addition to Delphi.
