Hello,

The Free Pascal team is pleased to announce that version 2.2.2 is
released and available for download for all major platforms:
(in alphabetical order)

Dos, FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, Windows, Windows CE

For different CPU types and both in 32 and 64 bit versions where applicable.

Version 2.2.2 is the new stable version. It contains mostly bugfixes,
and selected backported features. No major new features are introduced.

Version 2.2.2 also has a cleanroom implementation of some routines that
were suspected of copyright infringement. You are urged to upgrade to
this new version to avoid possible copyright issues.

Finally, the documentation has been revised completely and was brought
up-to-date, so it describes the current compiler and RTL behaviour as
closely as possible.

You can download your copy from the usual location:

http://www.freepascal.org/download.var

A list of major changes is available on

http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.2.2

If you download from a mirror, you may have to wait a couple of days
for the mirror to pick up the new version.

Enjoy,

The Free Pascal team.

Nice... I think i leave vista soon and make a dual-boot with XP and some linux distro (Ubuntu maybe)... Then i can make good use of this great compiler. ;)

This is great news. I hope they included the fix to run the initialization sections in a shared object under linux :).

Time to download a test I guess :wink:
