[Marco van de Voort]

Hello,

We have placed the first release candidate of the Free Pascal Compiler
version 3.2.2 on our ftp servers.

You can help improve the upcoming 3.2.2 release by downloading and
testing this release. If you want you can report what you have done here:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Testers_3.2.2 or in the maillist.

Changes that may break backwards compatibility will be documented at:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.2

Downloads are available on the main FTP server at

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/3.2.2-rc1/

The evaluation time frame for this release is at least two weeks, so 
bugreports within that period will be looked at before the final release 
is branched.

Enjoy!

The Free Pascal Compiler Team
