I am afraid of using Lazarus 1.6. 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.

Yes but why would you do that? Lazarus 1.6 is almost here.
You may get problems with codepage aware strings when using Lazarus
1.4.4. Depends on use case of course.

Seems to be OK here. I've used that combination intermittently since 
about September, but it's not one I run regularly.
