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)
- 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 (1.9.6 Todo) within 2-4 months (2.0RC1)
Goals:
integrate dwarf branchfix bugsget 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 (post 2.0RC1)
- 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
