Bugfixes are made continually in the fixes branch.

The release compiler will be version 1.0.6 (odd numbers indicate a compiler
under development). However, it is unknown when this will be released.

I don't think this should be necessary. Lazarus should compile "as-is" with
both the fixbranch or mainbranch compiler. Nothing crucial has been changed
in the compiler in this area.

I've been checking, and there must be some internal compiler error; it 
claims that the checksum changed for some rtl units; This is an internal
compiler error; Peter or Florian should check this.
