Partially implemented in 2.5.1

Support for ansistrings with a definable codepage

fpc wiki about that topic: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Dynamically_loading_headers

AS and IS extended for interfaces

Misc

  1. Constructor syntax for Dynamic arrays Mantis 15385
  2. (Library) packages
  3. "automated" keyword, which is like "public", but generates COM specific RTTI. Afaik this kind of COM usage is deprecated though.
