Hmmm, I don't know the US copyrights, but I think in Germany you could get trouble with such an image (of course, I'm not a laywer :) ).

Maybe some users have experience with Softimage, Maya or POV and some time to render a similiar image. Maybe a tux, sitting on a crashed greek temple ;)

Hey guys...I stayed the better part of my life in Africa... That is not a leopard,...unless the artist got the gif all wrong....it's a Cheetah Acinonyx Jubatus.

It's cheetah.

The word cheetah is derived from a hindi word

It's derived from the hindi word chitra which means spotted.

Hmmm, in general dogs are much slower than cats and I think feet of dogs are for long runnings and not for fast running! So this can't be a reason ...

Greetings,

The new web site should hopefully be online within another week. I still have some porting of existing site content to the new layout and then I can turn it on.

It will be more of a portal site where you can login, submit news, answer polls, etc., etc.

In line with the new site I have also created a new logo for us on the site and as the IDE Splash screen. You can see the file at this URL.

I have adapted the Delphi 4 splash screen to our uses. ;-)

Also if you want to see a quick snapshot of what I have got working so far with the new web site you can look at this:

I think Borland will start taking notice of all the legal issues once Lazarus is finished. At the moment they are probably just watching warily to see if it develops into anything. Lazarus is not a threat to them right now but it may well eat into their market share when the 1.0 version is finished.

Yeah
Want to see more.

I hope, I will also manage, that the codetools work with Delphi sources next week. Then we have enough reasons for 0.8.3. :)

Why crashed? ;)

Why not add an fpc leopard hunting the red, yellow and blue forms?

Better

well borland have other things in mind :.net
and a small project like this don't kill them (but microsoft could do) and pascal is a standard if i remember well and are different kinds of pascal out there :componentpascal ,oberonepascal etc and first lazarus is not called L(x)delpi or Kylix so no fear :) but even then we could modify the ide to look like Visual studio net with the same compiler

Hey guys...I stayed the better part of my life in Africa... That is not a leopard,...unless the artist got the gif all wrong....it's a Cheetah Acinonyx Jubatus. The word cheetah is derived from a hindi word as the indian royalty used cheetahs to hunt as long as man has recorded history.

A cheetah is only remotely related to the cat family (as leopards) as it does not even have retractable claws. They have feet looking exactly like that of a dog which is one reason they can run that fast. Cheetah's are therfore not classified as true cats (Felix and pathera) and definately not a leopard. Some scientific circles do not even regard it as a cheetah's never hunt humans, while I had my own encounter or two with leopards which preferres prey such as hominids or apes (e.g. us --the Lazarus community).

We (apes and hominids) taste like pork but we dont run as fast as a wild pig... which is why a leopard is one of the most dangerous human preditors except for crocodiles Bgates and other reptiles.

By the way,...when is step into and breakpoints going to work in Lazarus? Delphi's window behaviour is really getting onn my nerves.

Looks quite cool!
What do you use to power this? Zope? PHP?

Just curious.

Also, could someone who did the fpc package update the compiler (and put it on the Web) so that current CVS compiles cleanly?

Thanks,

Michal

Unless the release of FPC 1.0.6 takes a while, we will wait for it to release. IMO it makes no sence to build a FPC 1.0.6-lazarus if FPC 1.0.6 is relased soon.

BTW, anyone an idea when FPC 1.0.6 will be released ?

I'm not sure if they would complain. If they do we can certainly change it.

I was just talking to our graphics designer and he said he would be glad to design a logo for the Lazarus project. He is _very_ good, he has made most of the graphics and the
only thing we could (possibly) want in return could be a link to our home page

Just FYI if you want to have a top top quality logo.

The previous one was the Delphi 3 splash adapted with Tux. I know Borland saw and was aware of that image and nothing was said. Also since it is an old version that Borland dosn't even make available any more I'm not sure if they would complain. If they do we can certainly change it.

Maybe some users have experience with Softimage, Maya or POV and some time to render a similiar image.

If someone has the time, (key phrase). It was enough for me to take the time this evening to bodge together that image. :-)
