Then you should better use the snapshots. There are now already fixes in
the 2.1.1 snapshot for postgres, which won't make it in 2.0.4.
The rc's were only meant to test the installation-procedures on all
different platforms. And maybe to see if there were any show-stoppers.
It looks like I was overestimating the importance of the rc's ...
That's why it's more usefull for the developers if people use the
snapshots. Bugs like the sqldb-bug should already be found before we
start building release candidates.
Woudln't be using svn equally useful for the developers? I don't like
snapshots: they are big compared to a 'svn up' . When trying development
versions i'd rather go all the way and use svn .
This is the branch that will eventually become the 2.0.4 release :
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_0_4 , right ?
