Will be in FPC 2.6 at the earliest). I don't see any big development (or interest from _contributing_ users) in dynamic libraries. (and there are many pitfalls and multiplatform gotcha's here. There is not even a good inventorisation what should work how). So unless somebody is going to invest major amounts of times, I don't see this happening in say the coming two years _AT LEAST_. More importantly though, most of this are FPC features, and not Lazarus so unrelated to Lazarus 1.0 or not. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
