This document describes the planned road to FPC 2.0.0 which will be the next stable version of FPC.

The final 2.0 will probably support the following targets:

  • i386/Linux
  • i386/Win32
  • i386/FreeBSD
  • i386/OS/2
  • i386/EMX
  • i386/go32v2 (only non NT-based systems)
  • powerpc/Darwin (Mac OS X)
  • powerpc/MacOS (classic)
  • powerpc/Linux
  • powerpc/MorphOS (?) depends on Charly
  • x86-64/Linux
  • x86-64/FreeBSD
  • x86-64/Win64 (?) depends if GNU Tools will be available soon
  • arm/Linux
  • sparc/Linux

Depending on OS requirements, 2.0.0 is supposed to compile and run the following big packages to prove its maturity:

  • Lazarus: all targets having GTK
  • Decal: all targets
  • Dorb: Win32
  • DelphiQuake2: Win32
  • Jedi/JCL linux
  • TurboPower packages
  • FreeCLX
  • ICS/win32 (twsocket)

1.9.4 has been released supporting the following targets:

  • i386/Linux
  • i386/Win32
  • i386/FreeBSD
  • i386/OS/2
  • powerpc/Darwin
  • powerpc/Linux

1.9.6 within 2-4 months (2.0RC1)

Goals:

  • integrate dwarf branch
  • fix bugs
  • get at least some optimizer stuff working
  • PIC and packages support (post 2.0)
  • OS independant 64-bit filesystem support. (post 2.0RC1)
  • thread synchronization (tthread.synchronize) working. (post 2.0RC1)

Contains: 1.9.4 releases plus

  • x86-64/Linux
  • x86-64/FreeBSD (post 2.0RC1)
  • arm/Linux
  • sparc/Linux
  • powerpc/MacOS (as native compiler)
  • strip 1.0.x compat compiling features

1.9.8 aka (2.0RC2): within the next 4-6 months

Goals:

  • fix bugs and get all packages running
  • fix IDE
  • full 64-bit RTL support

1.9.10: only if important bugs to be tested pop up

2.0.0: 1-2 months after last rc, i.e. by the end of the year
