Yes, but I'm to lazy to report bugs for code I myself would not allow. ;)

Of course there are also some bugs, for which I didn't find simple examples. Like the 'redefinition' hints for forward class types. You can find them in htmllite and grids.pas.
Most of the panics were gone, if you simply call the compiler again or compile everything, or you just fix the bug in the code.

So, for clean code, it works nice. :)

At least our test suite results for 1.1 are much better than for 1.0.x :)

1.1 is definitely a better compiler.
Comparing to c.* compilers: A panic at the right place is better than a message at the wrong place.

Marc, what is the status of the 1.1 rpm?

+ From: Mattias Gaertner + [SNIP] + + Marc, what is the status of the 1.1 rpm? Ehmmmm... none at the moment, since when I announced that, I read that Peter was updating some parts of the FCL and that is was instabel etc. So I decided to wait. If you think everything is OK for us, then I'll give it a go.

It's better to wait a few weeks. There are some big changes (like unit loading) made that may need some stabilization.

Can you provide some examples :) ?

But it works nice with lazarus.
