Then it might still get merged, e.g. for 2.6.2. The branching is about keeping stable things stable and about only adding things that are in a release-ready state. Just making or missing the branching deadline doesn't change that much. > one consolation > prize is that the "implements" language feature will now work > correctly and can be used. Note that "implements" is still not yet working 100%. These two tests still fail: * http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/timplements4a.pp?view=markup * http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/timplements4b.pp?view=markup And I believe there are also still some open bug reports about it.
