Hi, I've been working with Lazarus lately, and was wondering what is stopping the team from making an initial release of lazarus ?

Short of time.
I will have time again in two weeks.

If you're waiting for package support, don't hold your breath, since that may still take a while. It's a 1.1 issue, and currently compiler development is delayed a bit.

The package system will be started even without full lib support. There are a lot of other important features like online help, documentation and lazarus rpms/debs.

Since 1.0.8 will be released hopefully in the not too distant future, it might be an opportunity to prepare a beta of lazarus as well ?

IMHO the bug list is too long for a beta. OTOH a beta might raise more devels. What do the others think? Should we create rpms, debs, install scripts and go beta?

Hi,

Hi,

I'm a newbie with Lazarus and FPC, and I expect that both projects grow and they be consolidated like tools of development.

Some days ago, I was listening a conference about GNOMEDB and when spoke of the different languages named to Pascal, but they said that was a project almost dead.

I felt myself very sad, because I know that the project is living, but perhaps since outside has another vision.

From Argentina, I congratulate for the effort that carry out.

On Thuersday, February, 13th, I'm advertising some teachers in how to teach database applications with Delphi/MySQL. I'll show them Lazarus/MySQL, discuss with them about Lazarus and post their opinions to the mailing list as soon as possible (may be it will be on Saturday, no time before?)

You should go beta, when online help is available like it is in Delphi by placing the cursor in a key word and pressing <F1>.
