Hi everyone,

GPC version 20011202 has been uploaded to the usual places, CVS and
FTP:

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/current/gpc-20011202.tar.gz

We consider this version the Release Candidate #1 for the upcoming
GPC 2.1 release.

Many things have changed since the last announced version. (Please
see the `Done' section of the To-Do list and the `News' chapter in
the manual or on the homepage for details.)

Though many bugs have been fixed since the last version, there is
still a number of known bugs left, some of which are longstanding
issues that will take some time to be fixed. Therefore, according to
a discussion in gpc(a)gnu.de, we have decided to make a 2.1 release
now, anyway.

This version has been tested successfully (i.e., the test suite ran
without failures -- except martin2a.pas and fjf434c.pas on some
platforms which should have been moved to knownbugs, and will be
further investigated before the final release) on the following
systems:

  i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.8.1)
  i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.95.3)
  i386-pc-msdosdjgpp (gcc-2.8.1)
  sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (gcc-2.95.2)
  mips-sgi-irix6.5 (gcc-2.95.2)
  alpha-dec-osf4.0b (gcc-2.95.3)

Test reports from other systems are welcome.

If you find new or especially important bugs, or very important
missing features, let us know so we can perhaps fix them before 2.1.

Any major changes, however, will not be done in the 2.1 source tree,
but rather in the next alpha versions leading to 2.2.

Frank
