Happy New Year!
As a special present, We have placed a new major release of the Free Pascal
Compiler, version 2.4.0 on our ftp-servers.
Changes that may break backwards compatibility are documented at:

Downloads are available at:
the main FTP

Dear FPC Team,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTRAORDINARY WORK AND DEDICATION!!!
Dunno what we would do without you!!!
Happy New Year to you all, and to all your dear ones, and to all FPC users
world-wide.
May this be the year when SIGNIFICANTLY more people come to realize the FPC
is the BEST
Thanks for all the great work that has gone into 2.4.0!

be pushing all this software hard and will probably be coming here for help.
First problem:
Sorry about all the cross posting. I didn't think such cross posting was
typically used and didn't even think to check the reply-to addresses.
Problem #2: I decided to make a contribution by adding a note to the
installation docs about needing to install from a location without

I read the user changes document which seemed to consist of a list of
subtle changes. My question is does 2.4.0 put forward any major
