[fpc-pascal] Who is working on getting FreePascal released?

[Thomas Kurz]

I'm not on fpc-devel either. May I ask to summarize the discussion in a few sentences?

I'm also eagerly waiting for the next release. Not for 3.2.4, but for 3.4.0. Imho, it'd be desirable to have yearly releases with only some enhancements and new features instead of waiting for big steps for more than 6 years.

Just my 2 cts.
Kind regards,
Thomas

You're missing a huge discussion on fpc-devel :-)

If Florian didn't make the 3.2.4 release by july, I will take over.

Tentative plan (if/when I take over):
- try to merge some more stuff from devel to fixes.
- get another RC out.
- If nothing serious pops op, release main platforms in september.

All offers of help are appreciated.

If you know of fixes in trunk that can be merged cleanly to fixes, then let us know.

Michael.
