[fpc-devel] don't you think it's time to update delphi mode compatibility?

2005-05-27 Thread Bisma Jayadi
FPC has great amounts of compatibility with Borland Delphi. Unfortunately, according to the FPC docs, it only supports Delphi compatibility until Delphi 4. The object pascal enhancement on the next Delphi release is still not supported by FPC. Since now Delphi has grown to Delphi 9 (2005)

So, may I conclude that FPC is targetting D7 language compatibility? That's sound fair enough to me, and -thanks God- I can live with that. :) Roughly yes. That is the goal of the 2.0.x branch, languagewise. Is the D7 compatibility has been reached fully or partially or still under
