Is it posible to use Lazarus 1.4.4 with fpc 3.0?

Will I run into a lot of problems (compiling IDE for new packages etc)?

Seems to be OK here. I've used that combination intermittently since about September, but it's not one I run regularly.

I am afraid of using Lazarus 1.6. New versions introduce new bugs and problems.

I want to work with stable versions. Well, in fact, with versions that have been stable since some time. New versions come with new bugs and problems and I have already enough political problems pushing Lazarus to fight with technical issues.

I have come across some bugs in 2.6.4 that I need to solve, so I have decided to move to 3.0. It is stable since some time ago (They are already working on 3.1).
if they had applied backports to solve them, I would have sticked on 2.6.4.

Nevertheless, If I run into problems with Lazarus 1.4.4 / FPC 3.0, code pages etc, I will move lazarus 1.6.

As I've said before, I keep a combination of Lazarus+FPC versions here and my preferred one isn't necessarily the most recent.

*BUT* if you're asking the core developers for help, the first thing that they'll expect is that you're on the current version of IDE and compiler.
