fpc (2.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release with many fixes and new features offering a nice
  collection of new functionality and bug fixes.
  * New platforms:
    - Mac OS X/PowerPC64
    - Mac OS X/x86_64
    - Mac OS X/ARM (iPhone)
  * Compiler changes:
    - Support for Delphi-style resource handling
    - Whole-program optimization infrastructure, which initially supports
  program devirtualization and unused virtual method removal
    - Much faster compilation of units containing many type-sections
    - The ability to suppress individual hints/warnings/notes
    - Several improvements to the DWARF debug information generation
    - Fixes to the generics support
    - Fixes to the interface delegation (implements) support
    - Improved cpu register allocation
    - Improved ARM/EABI support
  * RTL changes:
    - Linearly scaling multi-threaded memory manager
    - Support for (advisory) file locking on Unix-based platforms
    - when using the SysUtils file creation/opening routines
    - Support for ANSI ISO Extended Pascal ReadStr/WriteStr
    - A UnicodeString type that, while not yet equivalent to Delphi 2009's
    UnicodeString type, offers reference counted UnicodeString support on
    the Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Beos/Haiku platforms.
  * Packages changes:
    - Many improvements to the XML units
    - Many improvements to the database units
    - Updated the common Mac OS X Pascal interfaces to r241, including
    header a translation of the CFNetwork framework
    - The zipper unit now works correctly on big endian platforms
  * Added a patch fixing building documentation on Debian systems.

  * Packaged news utility program (fpclasschart) poducing a class tree from
    source files.
  * Removed duplicate section field.
  * Fixed fp-units-i386 package short description.
  * Removed unneeded override rule.
  * Added doc-base file for fp-compiler package.
