release. It contains selected fixes from the active
development (sometimes also new features). If I read the SVN
log correctly it was last updated in March.<br>
<br>
0.9.29 is the active development, it changes daily, often more
than one change on a day. It has all new features, all bug
fixes that have been done, and may also have new bugs (happens
sometimes). And it should compile with 2.5.1 (at least it does
for me)<br>
<br>
As for the fpc version. The download page offers selected
combinations. You can do separate downloads and use the
desired version of Lazarus with a different fpc version. So
long as it is at elast the minimum required.<br>

Do the fixes apply to the IDE itself, components or both,
especially with 0.9.28.3? <br>

First of all, I am not sure, if the current fixes download, actually
is the fixes download (the revision number in the filename indicates
it is actually the same as 0.9.29. If so that will hopefully be
corrected, if not: someone will confirm/<br>
<br>
Fixes can apply to the IDE or the components that come with the IDE.
(It does not include 3rd party or lazarus-ccr components)<br>

The fixes version probably will try to avoid dependency changes in
fpc or OS libs (e.g QT or gtk).<br>

Is source code compatibility with fpc 2.4 a priority?<br>

Afaik all versions of lazarus (0.9.28 and up) can be compiled with
fpc 2.4. <br>
<br>
If you want to play and try. you can install more than one Lazarus.
So you can download a snapshot for testing. Install it in a new
directory.<br>
However if you do this, you must start the extra installations with
--primary-config-path=C:\some_unique_path<br>
Best also to backup your config dir (in your userdir
AppData\LocalNow\lazarus) in case the installer overrides it. Or
download a zip, and don't run an installer<br>
