[lazarus] 0.9.24 released

2007-11-21 Thread Mattias Gaertner
The Lazarus team is glad to announce the 0.9.24 release. This release
is based on fpc 2.2.0.

This release can be downloaded from the sourceforge download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

Highlights / Major changes:
- The win32 widgetset interface can be used 
  on win64 too and has been relabeled win32/win64
- First stable releases of the 
  Windows CE and i386-darwin (IntelMac) versions
- Huge improvements to QT, Carbon and Gtk2 widgetset interfaces
- Due to a name conflict under Linux with the tct package the link
'/usr/bin/lazarus' was renamed to '/usr/bin/lazarus-ide'. This means
the IDE can no longer be started by typing 'lazarus' in a terminal but
with 'startlazarus' or 'lazarus-ide'.


The detailed list of changes can be found here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_0.9.24_release_notes


And several hundred fixes and minor improvements.

is based on fpc 2.2.0.


Great job! Congratulations! :)

Then I assume this will be shortly followed by fixes branch of this 
latest stable release (v.0.9.24.1?) using the latest fpc's fixes branch 
of the latest stable release (v.2.2.1). I personally prefer fixes branch 
(of stable release) than the stable release itself.

Nope, that are moving targets, it will be 0.9.24.2 and 2.2.2 (or 2.2.0)

I personally prefer fixes branch 
(of stable release) than the stable release itself.


Why ?
(Personally I prefer stability and not a moving target where you have to 
find out what surprised tomorrow will bring)

I know. I'd discussed about this with Paul Ishenin on the other previous 
thread. :)

Fixes branch is different from development branch. I believe fixes 
branch has relative smaller risk of surprise factors, though somehow it 
still possible. This is due fixes branch (as the name implies) is to fix 
bugs which are still left in stable release. Fixes branch should not 
introduce new features or any changes that might break its stability. 
Giuliano Colla said he is in charge to maintain this branch.


I learn this concept from fpc's versioning scheme. I think it won't harm 
anybody if lazarus follows it as well. ;)

In practice the fpc fixes branch is also the development branch between 
major releases. A lot of minor features are also merged into it.


Yes. But, as you said, new features are minor. According to my own 
experience using fpc's fixes branch, I saw them pretty consistent to not 
break the stability. For me, this is the reason why I personally prefer 
fixes branch over stable releases and development branches. Besides, one 
who choose to use fixes branch should know the consequences, both good 
and bad. ;)
