I downloaded 1.2.6 32 bits and installed it over 1.2.4 (standard installation). When I launch Lazarus, the welcome window says 1.2.4 and then get the Configure Lazarus IDE dialog which tells me: "warning: wrong version in ide\version.inc: 1.2.6". All the other tabs seem ok. I'm a bit confused, what should I do?

I am running Windows 7 64 bits,

Hi

Great work. Fink packages for Mac OS X will be ready on the weekend.

I just checked: lazarus.exe is 2.6.4 from 2014-06-14. Something must have gone wrong during the update. I'm going to stop Lazarus, check there are no hidden tasks left and restart the update.

Maybe you have a custom built IDE left.
Check "View / IDE Internals / About IDE", then in page "General" under "Global IDE Options / Primary Config Directory". This gives you a directory.
Search a lazarus.exe (for example bin\lazarus.exe). Close the IDE. Delete the bin\lazarus.exe and start the IDE.

You mean: "make fpc compile the IDE from the sources"? Nice, I should have thought of that. This is definitely one of the nicest points of Lazarus :-)

Out of curiosity, I did not do it thus, though. I redid the upgrade and got the same result. I had previously checked, I did not have any "Lazarus" task in memory. So I simply moved Lazarus.exe to another partition and redid the upgrade for the third time and this time I got the Upgrade configuration dialog.

Conclusion:
- I don't know why the upgrade would not overwrite Lazarus.exe (is my anti-virus playing me some silly trick?)
- Your way to do it would have certainly have been much faster :-D

Thanks for the new version. Now I'm going to play a little with it.

I just uploaded the powerpc Mac OS X release.

This is probably the last prebuild powerpc release, since the build machine going to be replaced by an Intel based Mac OS X.

Cool! Time for me to install an update :)

Oh :( But it will be kept as supported platform?
