New versions introduce new bugs andproblems. I want to work with stable versions. Well, in fact, with versions thathave been stable since some time. New versions come with new bugs andproblems and I have already enough political problems pushing Lazarus tofight with technical issues. I have come across some bugs in 2.6.4 that I need to solve, so I havedecided to move to 3.0. It is stable since some time ago (They arealready working on 3.1).if they had applied backports to solve them, I would have sticked on2.6.4. Nevertheless, If I run into problems with Lazarus 1.4.4 / FPC 3.0, codepages etc, I will move lazarus 1.6.
As I've said before, I keep a combination of Lazarus+FPC versions here and my preferred one isn't necessarily the most recent.
*BUT* if you're asking the core developers for help, the first thing that they'll expect is that you're on the current version of IDE and compiler.
