The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of:
 
            Lazarus 1.0
 
At this important stage the current team would like to thank all the past and current people who were involved in getting us here.
* Thanks also go to the FPC team for providing the compiler that makes it all possible.
* Special thanks go to the founders of the project who started Lazarus more than a decade ago in 1999: Cliff Baeseman, Shane Miller and Michael A. Hess.
* A history of developers involved can be found at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/History. And a list of the many contributors comes with the distribution. 

The release is available for download at the SourceForge download page:

Congratulations, and thanks to everybody involved for the hard work!

[Knipfty]

Thanks to all, and have already started using it!

[Blaazen]

Amazing.

Still the only one IDE/RAD which is truly cross-platform, it builds native code and nobody need to install any additional framework or run any runtime environment.

Great job. Thanks.

So THE day has come, congratulations to the team and all the best!

Can't wait for the reactions from the press which surely must happen

Definitely some beer flowing here to celebrate. This is a significant day,  finally a 1.0 moment, and there is a genuine feel-good factor in being involved with such an inclusive and multi-cultural group as the 'Lazarus community'.
Congratulations to the hard-working team!

We have waited for this day for long time.
Now we can ask our managers to adopt Lazarus development tool officially as an alternative and as an additional tool for software development.
