X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12b) Message-Id: <20001022181435.6A1B22E802@hermes.tue.nl> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, It is with great pleasure that the Free Pascal Development Team announces that Version 1.0.2 beta for FreeBSD 4.x + of the Free Pascal compiler has been officially released. This is a first beta version, commandline only, and not all packages are checked for FreeBSD compability. If you have FreeBSD available, try to test to compile your sources with FreeBSD, so we can lift this beta status soon. The Free Pascal Compiler/FreeBSD features: - A Turbo Pascal and Delphi compatible compiler for the Intel processor family, with some extensions to the Pascal and Object Pascal dialects, such as operator overloading. - An OS independent Run-Time Library, equivalent to the Turbo Pascal and Delphi Run-Time Libraries, not dependent on external libraries. - An API allowing for OS-Independent screen, keyboard and mouse management. (we need a lot of fixes and help here!) - Many units, interfacing to various API's: gtk, xforms, zlib, ncurses, sockets, X, mysql, postgresql, Interbase, paszlib, opengl, libgdb. - A Free Component Library, containing many base classes from the Delphi VCL. - More than 800 pages of documentation in Adobe PDF format, featuring + User's guide + Programmer's guide + Reference guide + reference guide for all units in the Run-Time Library + More than 440 complete example programs. (Other formats include plain text, HTML and PostScript) - Full sources to compiler, RTL, docs, packages. The distribution is available from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org in directory /pub/fpc/dist/freebsd-1.0.2 and below and from FTP mirrors.
