NewPascal is back to life (v1.0.55)

hnb · 2018-05-07 00:33:30

Hi,

after more than one year of lack of updates for NewPascal, NewPascal is back to life in new version v1.0.55 and I have hope to continue progress. This version contains fresh, ready to use mORMot and trunk of Lazarus and modified version of FPC trunk in really lightweight form without needs of installation:

Great!

Perhaps a ReadMe.md file may help understanding the content of the release, and how to install it.

hnb · 2018-05-07 08:08:02

good idea, seems that users also likes the concept of ReadMe.md : https://github.com/newpascal/newpascal/issues/4

in current v1.0.55 I was focused on merge, cleaning the code and on fixes for CI ( nodejs modules are really dynamic and often updated ).

I'm really happy that you will continue your work. Hopefully, having the creative control over NewPascal will allow you to develop new ideas easier, with a peace of mind. I'm waiting with anticipation for new features that you will implement

I have just updated https://castle-engine.io/supported_compilers.php to explicitly say that Castle Game Engine is working with NewPascal.

Much respect,
Michalis

Great! Is cross-compilers for Linux included in the download?

hnb · 2018-05-09 08:27:09

@michalis thanks! and nice to have you in mORMot forum ^^. Welcome!

@edwinsn Not now but stay tuned. I have advanced talks with sponsor so I will be able to spend more time on NewPascal. Before I will start next language features I'd like to finish many CI stuff. We need some automatic regression test (also the tests for mORMot) for all supported platforms. Cross-compilers for Linux, MacOS (and maybe Android) are in the top of TODO list. Every cross compiler will be created by CI systems.

@hnb,

That's a great news! And I wish you'll keep close cooperation with fpcupdeluxe.

Indeed great news!

Thanks for the excellent work.

From a mormot standpoint, I think the greatest need is actually Linux support because Win32 can be addressed adequately with Delphi at a variety of pricepoints starting with the free beginner package. However there is no easy way to get to Linux support with Delphi at all, or even FPC without a fair bit of work.

Good luck on the future work

With fpcupdeluxe, it needs only a very small amount of work in order to install fpc/lazarus on a Windows sytem and **cross-compile for Linux**.

erick · 2018-07-02 03:11:19

Okay, I'll try that.

Hello,

Any progress on cross compilers ? i am waiting to test mORMot + android client. This requires FPC trunk 3.1.

hnb · 2018-08-07 23:02:34

Not much. The sponsorship is a little delayed, if nothing will change in this matter probably I will need to figure some other ways to continue progress for NewPascal. Besides the sponsorship the main problem with Android is deprecated Ant part (which is replaced by Gradle). I have all scripts dedicated for Ant, so here I need to put more work :\. General the combo NewPascal + mORMot + LAMW + crosscompilation Win -> Android ARM7 works great, but the scripts are not fully automated yet. Probably more news in September.

sameerpandit · 2018-08-08 09:51:39

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Does the combo NewPascal + mORMot + LAMW + crosscompilation Win -> Android ARM7 work with current NewPascal version ?

Regards

hnb · 2018-08-08 11:14:40

Yes, but the way to start is a little complicated (is very easy to mess many things), probably you need to wait a little more for "easy to use" version of NewPascal for Android. For now I have this combo for one of my commercial products for Android which works for many months (also with latest version of NewPascal).

sameerpandit · 2018-08-10 15:57:10

Ok. Thanks for the information.

Please post here when "easy to use" version is ready for download.

Regards
