The Golden Rule of using Lazarus<br>
--------------------------------<br>
If you find a version or revision that works for you - stick with it for as<br>
long as possible! Do not be tempted to upgrade, because what works today,<br>
will most likely be broken tomorrow. Mantis reports of proof of that.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Graeme, I don't what to say, you have your good points here, besides, I'm not so experienced in fpc/lazarus as you are :) Maybe I'd change my observations to this point: if there's a project constantly evolving I think you're right. In my case, when I recently started to dig deep into lazarus, I do very different actions every day, in many different dialogs, trying to adjust, compile, compare the results for several of my existing delphi units and programs. As a result, I noticed several problems in 0.9.28 and with some of them I could not live anymore. For example, one of them was related to opening one particular package, selecting unit, and getting AV after selecting "remove". When I wanted to report about this bug, I tried the same with svn version, and there it was gone. So how can I find a version that works for me in this case? In terms of stability, they're all still in progress, both 0.9.28 and svn at least once wiped by lpk to zero size, I'm already used to it :)<br>
