According to Bernhard Tschirren:

Its high time you release another alpha! I have GPC970510, the latest release. My GPC does NOT compile A^[(I)]?!? It aborts with the following error messages: [...]

Ah - I see. gpc-970510 misinterpretes `^[' as a control character. It is already fixed in my current development version. Sorry, I should have checked it with gpc-970510 before replying ... #-)

To work around this, insert a blank between the `^' and the `['.

So, when is the next release coming? :-)

Either as soon as I have fixed all pending bugs and I find a day without new bug reports, or else when I give up fixing them. ;-)

Seriously, I am now putting in the Integer types discussed during the last days, and I have two pending bugs: casts of structured types and duplicate field identifieres. In addition, due to major changes in the structure of GPC's source, there are some problems with DJGPP and EMX we must solve before the release. :-( Everything else planned for the first post-2.0 GPC beta release is finished now. :-)

Thanks for your patience,

Peter
