[fpc-devel] FPC 3.2.0RC1 released!

[Joao Schuler]

I regret to say that I can't reproduce my initial result showing 9%
improvement on 3.2.0rc1 against 3.0.4. Both versions show the same speed
now.

I also compared 3.0.4 against trunk in another environment:
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-1014-gcp x86_64)
cpu model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.00GHz

This is the raw result from 3.0.4:
640 Examples seen. Accuracy:0.1006 Error:   1.79914 Loss:2.31176 Threads: 4
Forward time:  0.99s Backward time:  0.77s Step time:  1.51s

This is the raw result from trunk:
640 Examples seen. Accuracy:0.1175 Error:   1.79696 Loss:2.30112 Threads: 4
Forward time:  0.94s Backward time:  0.72s Step time:  1.46s

I usually look at the "Step time" for comparisons.
