This document describes the planned road to FPC 2.0.0 which will be the next stable version of FPC. It contains information how things are planned, however this might change from time to time.

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)
  • Bewareserv (suggested by fpcfan)

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 aka 2.0.0-RC1 has been released supported the following targets:

  • i386/Linux
  • i386/Win32
  • i386/FreeBSD
  • i386/OS/2
  • i386/go32v2
  • powerpc/Darwin
  • powerpc/Linux
  • powerpc/MacOS
  • sparc/Linux
  • x86-64/Linux

1.9.8 aka (2.0RC2): within the next 2-3 months

Goals:

  • fix bugs and get all packages running
  • arm/Linux

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
