Not by default. You need to install the documentation, a documentation
viewer and some package. The viewer is built the first time is needed,
but after a bit of wait all you get is a dialog telling you to "put the
chm files in some directory" without information about what these chm
files are or where to find them.
In any case, 1.0 is just a number. I disagree about the PR part,
currently Lazarus is far from polished, but the world has seen worse.
Delphi might had better documentation in its first releases but it
wasn't as stable for example.
