Hello,

The FPC 2.4.4 release is available from our ftp-servers and sourceforge.
This is probably the final release created from the fixes_2_4 branch.

Changes that may break backwards compatibility are documented at:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.4

Downloads are available at:

the main FTP server at

ftp://193.224.143.39/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/

and

ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/

Note:
the main ftp server is currently being migrated, that's why the URL is
ip-addres based.

Enjoy!

Free Pascal 2.4.4 contains most library fixes from early June 2010 till March
2011. There are also some compiler fixes, most relating to 64-bit.

Please also see http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.4 for a list
of changes which may affect the behaviour of previously working code, and
how to cope with these changes.

Some highlights are:

Packages:
* Many improvements to the XML units
* Many improvements to the database units.
* Specially sqlite got quite some fixes.
* Many improvements to the chm units.
* Including a commandline CHM compiler
* Many improvements to fppkg and fpmake for another round of testing.

Platforms:
* Fixes for multi-threading support in OS/2 RTL.

See http://bugs.freepascal.org/changelog_page.php for the list of reported
bugs which have been fixed in this release.

AH, and before I forget, it should also contains a CHM compiler (called chmcmd)

No, it's the same CWSDPMI as I have in DJGPP from 7.1.2010.
