2.6.1 is ongoing development, so strictly speaking there is no definitive 2.6.1-version that will stay the same from now on, 2.6.1 is the branch that will once become stable 2.6.2 release. All versions from this branch currently carry the version number 2.6.1 but it will receive patches from time to time and the "2.6.1" from today will not be the same 2.6.1 from tomorrow. But it still makes sense to use it, the way I recommend is to checkout the branch from svn: svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_6 fpc and then svn up from time to time or every time you see new commits coming to this branch. This is what many people do, this way you will always have the most recent fixes for the stable 2.6.x line of versions, its not as adventurous as being on the bleeding edge of on trunk all the time, no bad surprises or huge changes are expected to happen here, I am using it myself too. There also exist complete downloads of snapshots, see this website for some links and some more information: http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
