The best news of this year! :-)

I'm going to share it on social networks.

Thank you!

[fpc-pascal] FPC Pestering Peacock (3.0.0) release

[Joost van der Sluis]

Hello,

We are happy to announce the release of the Free Pascal Compiler version 
3.0.0 "Pestering Peacock".


This version includes support for, a.o., several new platforms, 
codepage-aware strings, and an integrated Pascal source-repository (fppkg).


New features are listed at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0

Changes that may break backwards compatibility are documented at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.0

The 3.0.0 docs is available at
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/3.0.0/fpctoc.htm

Downloads are available at our website:

Free Pascal Compiler

   Version 3.0.0


* Introduction


Please also read the platform specific README file, if it exists.

This package contains an advanced freeware 32-bit/64-bit/16-bit pascal
compiler for several platforms. The language and the runtime library are
almost compatible with Turbo Pascal 7.0 and recent Delphi releases. There is
also partial support for the Macintosh pascal dialect.

News and changes related to this release are described in whatsnew.txt.

Free Pascal 3.0.0 is currently available for the following platforms:
- Linux-i386
- Linux-x86_64 (amd64)
- Linux-powerpc
- Linux-sparc
- Linux-ARM
- Win32-i386 (2000/XP, WinNT or later)
- Win64-x86_64 (XP or later)
- Wince-ARM (cross compiled from win32-i386)
- FreeBSD-i386
- FreeBSD-x86_64
- Mac OS X/Darwin for PowerPC (32 and 64 bit)
- Mac OS X/Darwin for Intel (32 and 64 bit)
- iOS (ARM and AArch64/ARM64) and iPhoneSimulator (32 and 64 bit)
- OS/2-i386 (OS/2 Warp v3.0, 4.0, WarpServer for e-Business and eComStation)
- Haiku-i386
- GO32v2-i386
- Nintendo Gameboy Advance-ARM (cross compile from win32-i386)
- Nintendo DS-ARM (cross compile from win32-i386)
- Nintendo Wii-powerpc (cross compile from win32-i386)
- AIX 5.3 and later for PowerPC (32 and 64 bit)
- Java JVM (1.5 and later) and Android Dalvik (Android 4.0 and later)
- Android (ARM, i386, MIPS) via cross-compiling.
- MSDos-i8086 (cross compiled from win32-i386 or Linux)
- Amiga, MorphOS and AROS

There are other platforms (like other BSD variants) which are more or less
working, but there is currently no maintainer for them and thus we cannot
provide adequate support. If you want to change this and create and
maintain versions for other platforms and targets, feel free to contact us,
e-mail addresses are listed below.

[fpc-pascal] status of fpc-mips

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi All,

I plan to port my program to a MIPS based openwrt router.
The hardware is based on Atheros AR9331.  I wonder if FPC for MIPS linux
cross
compiler is usable or not and what FPC version it currently support?

Also, btw, last time I asked similar question about the RaspberryPi,
and know that there are ARMEL/ARMHF.   Is there similar concept
on MIPS platform? i.e. if I successfully compile a program for MIPS,
is it guaranteed to work on all MIPS compliant CPUs?

Thanks a lot.

Xiangrong
