The Lazarus team is glad to announce the 0.9.26 release. This release is based on fpc 2.2.2.

This release can be downloaded from the sourceforge download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

Highlights / Major changes:
- The LCL now uses Unicode strings UTF-8 encoded on all platforms. There are docs, tools and functions to help converting old code.
- The LCL internal graphic system was rewritten for more consistency, more flexibility, better Delphi compatibility, icon support, native image lists.
- Lazarus now runs native under Mac OS X using the 'carbon' widgetset.
- The IDE designer now allows to connect form components, like databases on TDataModule.

This time there were more than 3900 improvements and bug fixes in 11 months. For comparison: 0.9.24 was about half the changes in 8 months.

The list of changes can be found here:

And several thousand fixes and minor improvements.

I join my congratulation to the Lazarus team, you ide tend to be more and more a delphi killer, and the ability to make native programs for macos and linux is priceless and unbeatable.

Long life to the Lazarus team and it's ide !

Thanks!!! Great news!

The wiki page still shows:
"This page gathers the changes of 0.9.25 for the coming release of 0.9.26. This page is work in progress. There is no 0.9.26 yet."

Congratulations to all the people that make it happen, be proud of it!

I have installed lazaurs 0.9.26 on a ubuntu 7-10 (gutsy), but I get a problem of dependencies:
Lazarus-ide-0.9.26-0. needs libglib1.2ldbl and libgtk1.2.; libglib1.2ldbl conflicts libglib1.2, but libgtk1.2 needs libglib1.2 so it conflicts with libglib1.2ldbl.

In sort

Lazarus installs libglib1.2ldbl

Lazarus installs libgtk1.2
libgtk1.2 installs libglib1.2
libglib1.2 removes libglib1.2ldbl

Lazarus asks: where is the libglib1.2ldbl package I have just installed?

I hadn't libglib1.2ldbl in the distribution Ubuntu 7-10, so I picked from the next version ubutuntu 8.04LTS. I am aware I'm mixing two distributions, nevertheless, as far as I see, no matter where I picked the packages, libglib1.2ldbl and libgtk1.2 are not compatibles, but lazarus demands both.

I looks that there is something wrong in the dependences, but I suppose I am not the first one in installing it, so I must be missing something. any idea?

Package: lazarus-ide
Version: 0.9.26-0
Depends: libglib1.2ldbl (>= 1.2.10-18)
libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4)

Package: libglib1.2ldbl
Version: 1.2.10-19build1
Conflicts: libglib1.2
Replaces: libglib1.2

Package: libgtk1.2
Version: 1.2.10-18
Source: Akira TAGOH
Version: 1.2.10-18 (gutsy)
Depends: libglib1.2 ( >= 1.2.0)

Same problem here with Debian Etch.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and have no issues running the latests Lazarus
- though I always use the one from the subversion repository, not a .deb release.

I have the following apt packages installed,

libgtk1.2, libgtk1.2-common, libgtk1.2-dev, libglib1.2, libglib1.2-dev

I used Synaptic and searched for libglib1.2ldbl but don't have such a package in any of the repositories. So I have no clue what that package does or why it's needed.

Regards,
- Graeme -

I have researched a little and I have understood this:

Take it every thing with a grain of salt, I am not an expert in linux, and I don't know if I have misunderstood the versions of packages.

libglib.1.2.9 was just one package for GTK widget, but after release 1.2.9, libglib got split in two packages: libgtk for visual widgets, and libglib for auxiliary-non-visual functions like hash , lists etc. It seems that ubuntu for 7.10 hasn't libglib.1.2.9 and ubuntu 8.04 has renamed libglib.1.2.9 to "libglib1.2ldbl". I don't know what standard debian distro has done.

So a lazarus may use
libglib.1.2.9 (renamed as "libglib1.2ldbl" for ubuntu 8.04, but not available in 7.10)
xor
libgtk.>=1.2.10 and libglib >=1.2.10

Does lazarus really need the old lib (I think from 2001)? if it doesn't, the old package libglib1.2ldbl could be removed from dependences.

If lazarus needs old packages as well (to link with gtk1?) then the package should to implement the "xor" function. (can deb packages do such thing?) or have two lazarus deb version.

Ones again, I'm not very sure about versions or what lazarus could need the old libs for.

Note that it's possible to specify "or" dependencies for debs. So if you have a situation that on newer debian distroes libs are name differently or consist of different sublibs, you can always do "libold | (libnew1, libnew2).

Just a sidenote, I didn't reasearch this particular problem.

Hello:

I have unpacked lazarus-ide_0.9.26-0_i386.deb, removed the dependence on libglib1.2ldbl, packed again and installed it with no problem. Everything seems to work fine.

Thank you!

Hello:

I don't know where that stuff must be written. But I have attached a bash script to remove the dependence. I just cleaned up a little the script I used to do some try and error. I hope it helps

It needs two parameters: the directory where the original debian package is, and the name of file of the new package. When the script finishes you get a warning "homepage" field, or something like that. Don't worry, I think that the original package added a non-standard field that is ignored. If you run it without parameters, it will display a short help.

Now you can install the package you have just generated.

Although I have tested it, I am not very used to write bash scripts. Nevertheless, you needn't to run it as root, so if I have made a mistake it won't hurt ;-).

Santiago A.

Thank you a lot, but finally I was be able to extract, modify and rebuild lazarus-ide by myself.

I was wanting for help because I never did something similar on deb packages. The big trouble was to understand that only a DEBIAN dir and wanted files need to exist at package directory.

It worked for me too !
