As you may have noticed on the FPC website, Free Pascal 1.9.2, which is the second beta of the upcoming FPC 2.0.x series, is available.
Compared with 1.9.0 there are a lot of bug fixes as well as some new features like register calling for i386 or a powerpc compiler. For more information about the new stuff see below.
You can download 1.9.2 from the well known FPC ftps (http://www.freepascal.org/sdown.html) or if they are overloaded, the 1.9.2 release is available at SourceForge as well (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2174).
