SNAPSHOTS & SOURCES

One of the features of FPC is the snapshots. These are made daily or weekly
from the developers' latest versions of the source. Snapshots are available
for the go32v2, win32, os2 and linux versions of the compiler/rtl. Snapshots
are also available for the go32v2 & win32 ides, and for fv, fcl, gtk and
utils for go32v2 and win32. The latest snapshots are in: ftp... /fpc/snapshot/
for the GO32v2, Win32, OS/2 and Linux versions of the compiler/rtl. Snapshots
are also available for the go32v2 & Win32 IDEs, and for FV, FCL, GTK and
utils for GO32v2 and Win32. The latest snapshots are in: ftp... /fpc/snapshot/
in appropriately named .zip/tar files.
You will also normally find in the snapshot .zip file a readme, with a mention
the latest changes included. It is quite common, tho' doesn't always happen,
that when a bug is reported it is fixed and a fixed version can be obtained
the NEXT day in the appropriate snapshot.... yes really!

Also on the ftp site you'll find a /dist directory, with the latest
distributed releases, a /docs directory, and a /source directory, in
which every night at about 0100 GMT the latest source generated by the
developers during the day& evening before is exported from cvs
into .zips eg compiler.zip, rtl.zip, base.zip etc.
