Installed and runs on Windows Vista SP2 x64 with only
environmentoptions.xml in c:\lazarus and an existing svn config in the
default primary config path.

Gave a nice downgrade warning for my existing config.

Still asks for permission to overwrite existing environmentoptions.xml.
If wanted, bug 22673/r38293 could be backported for that.

Going to be a bit nasty here, but: the release notes above mention:
"Added mssql connector (supports Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase ASE) "
1. With the install as installed by the installer, I don't see any mssql
or Sybase connector - note there should be 2, not 1: TMSSQLConnection
and TSybaseConnection.
2. Presumably this is because there is no support for the mssqlconn unit
in FPC 2.6.0 as it was added in *cough* 2.6.1 !?!?

Perhaps the release notes need to be rewritten to be less optimistic
(and mention 2 connectors)?
