[Lazarus] Release 1.0, part 2

[Rigel Rig]

So I wrote with less features and no major bugs. Minor bugs have any software.

The boss of the company will buy it! Professional programmers will work for the company. Developer of the open source project will also chose to focus the project, rather than testing of Lazarus. And then help in the development of Lazarus. In this case the opposite occurs.

>Do you realize the effort it takes to maintain 2 releases ?
Yes! But I do not mean very different at first. For example the version of Lazarus works under Windows XP SP3 (until recently the most common). 2011 version will work under all versions of Windows from XP upwards.
Similarly with Linux: works under openSUSE (or another distribution). In the next more distributions. In each stable version of Lazarus is appropriate to maintain the versions already supported.

Yes, but they are stable. If they are not stable are not included in the package by default. Unstable software is new one. Not on 10 years.

Lazarus can it work without them? Why not make a stable version without them and put them in the next?

Are you looking for users, developers who make applications of Lazarus. Most will prefer Delphi, because they prefer to make its software on a stable basis.
