Count yourself very lucky then. :) I have return to Free Pascal coding 6 months ago, after a 6 year break. I have hit numerous bugs in 3.2.2 - inconsistent api in fcl-passrc - missing APIs in the 'windows' unit - memory leaks etc > why on earth would anyone want to use any build of FPC other than 3.2.2? For one, I've created a new debug format (OPDF) for the compiler, and CLI reference debugger, and IDE debug integration (as a second client to test the debug format). At the current rate, I'll be lucky if this feature sees the light of day in an "official" release for another 5+ years. That's not a lot of motivation to contribute to an open-source project. Then lets look at other things: - Generics have improved greatly in 3.3.1! - New language features - New features in various FCL packages. - Tons of bug fixes. ...and many more.
