Lazarus 0.9.30 released

[mdalacu]

The Update Manager does not gives any error, it only offers a Partial Upgrade (some fpc packages, and the rest of them are grayed out).

I went along and tried the manual way. So far i installed only fpc with dpkg -i *deb. It complained about:
  

Code: [Select]

fp-units-multimedia : Depends: libvorbis-dev but it is not going to be installed

I resolved it by manually installing this packages: liba52-0.7.4-dev libdca-dev libdts-dev libmad0-dev libmodplug-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev.

Now i will try to install Lazarus.
Update Lazaus is working, but again:lcl-qt4-0.9.30

Code: [Select]

libqt4pas-dev : Depends: libqt4pas5 (>= 2.1Qt4.5.3) but it is not going to be installedManually:libphonon4 libqt4pas-dev libqt4pas5 libqtwebkit4 libxcb-shape0 libxine1
  libxine1-bin libxine1-console libxine1-misc-plugins libxine1-x phonon
  phonon-backend-xine


Anyway it's working fine now. Thank you very much. I hope it will be solved in repo too.

Congratulations!!
I think it's a big step from 0.9.28 release. Now Lazarus looks very profesional!!

Great news.

What are the plans for the next version? This roadmap: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Roadmap is only general

Afaik Beta's/RC's that get successively closer to 1.0

[dimprofi]

Minimum requirements:
Windows:       98, 2k, Vista, 7, 32 or 64bit
FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit
Mac OS X:      10.4, LCL only 32bit, non LCL apps can be 64bit

Can't believe!

You forgot "Windows XP"

You forgot "Windows XP"   

It actually should read:

Minimum requirement Windows: 98

Hence all versions after this version (ME, 2K etc.) should work.

[dimprofi]

I like to read, what was wrote

Look, ALL windows versions between 98 and win7 are listed, except WinXP, which is a most popular of them! It looks like a direct descrimination.

Windows ME is missing as well

I will test Lazarus with Windows NT 4 maybe it still works there as I tried in the past ;-).
Windows 98 is still widely used in poor countries (AFAIK).
New sogan:
Write once, compile anywhere and everywhere ;-)

[dimprofi]

They should use linux.

Congratulations on all the progress with Lazarus.

Is the AGG package a design time package? What is the install procedure? Tried twice and had to reinstall Laz. Should I compile it first?

Thanks

Excellent work! . Congratulations on the best multi-platform development environment.

There were bugreports about this. Afaik it does not work, because the widestring manager uses options not in NT4. After some discussion it was decided to de;ete NT4 from the officially supported list.

However in 2.4.2/2.4.4 maybe this can be circumvented by having an own NT4 widestring manager.

And you re-compile the fpc tools (and maybe even the compiler) with this NT4 widestring manager.
