Upcoming FPC 3.2.4

The FPC devs have released FPC 3.2.4 RC1.
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/in … .msg558684

This will be the next stable release of FPC.
If possible, please test this release with the mORMot[1/2].

Thanks.

@ab
Yes, that should work.
Method.
Run fpcupdeluxe.
Select (and/or create) a brand new and empty install directory.
Select the tags tab. Upon selection, it should fill itself with FPC and Lazarus release tags.
Select 3.2.4_rc1. Click "Add Tag".
Select basic tab. The FPC versions list should now contain an extra entry named "release_3_2_4_rc1".
Select this version and install this FPC and Lazarus stable.

Sidenote.
GIT needs to be installed to retrieve the tags-list.

Re: Upcoming FPC 3.2.4

With your instructions, I was able to install the 3.2.4 RC1 version.
Thanks a lot!

Since I tested the FPC trunk a few weeks ago, I was confident.
I run the mORMot tests without any problem:

But I was surprised to see that the compiler is listed as a FPC 3.2.3 from 14th July 2024:

Re: Upcoming FPC 3.2.4

As some might have noticed, we have placed the first release candidate of the Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.4 on our download servers already for some time.

That "some time" was actually 11 months ago.

Re: Upcoming FPC 3.2.4

What is weird is that this FPC 3.2.4 RC has not the VER3_2_4 define set.
I expect a RC to be a true version, in which VER3_2_4 should be defined.
Or did I get something wrong?

Anyway, I have added some explicit test of VER3_2_4 conditional:
https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/13b1a073f

It sounds like if this 3.2.4 branch will have the new DB fields (like ftOraTimeStamp or ftSingle).
