[Lazarus] Testers wanted: FpDebug on Linux and Windows

2019-10-13 Thread Martin Frb via lazarus
It is time to get some feedback on how FpDebug behaves in the wild. If you want to test it, you need: - Lazarus 2.1  revision 62049 (dated 13 Oct 2019) or higher/later - Fpc any version that above Lazarus works with.   If you use FPC trunk, you should aim for revision 43183 or higher.
