The list of open issues for Lazarus 0.9.26 is getting smaller by the day. Most are fixed. Some are re-targeted to 0.9.28, if we estimate it takes too long fix them now. Some are re-targeted to 1.0.0, if closer inspection turns out the bug is not a regression.

While on vacation I’ve been working on a pet-project that has been around for many years now. The service is a mobile device chat and is powered by Firebird and PHP.
