In our previous episode, ik said: Doesn't 2.7.1 is the current development version ? Yes. But it can describe pretty much any version from last december to till when 2.8.0 comes out and trunk version number will change to 2.9.1. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Doesn't 2.7.1 is the current development version ? There are thousands of svn revisions that are all 2.7.1 and there may well be thousands more. As mentioned: you can only compile new svn revisions using the latest release, or with a compiler built from that exact same svn revision.
