Lazarus 1.0 release available for download

The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of:

Lazarus 1.0

At this important stage the current team would like to thank all the past and current people who were involved in getting us here.

* Thanks also go to the FPC team for providing the compiler that makes it all possible.

* Special thanks go to the founders of the project who started Lazarus more than a decade ago in 1999: Cliff Baeseman, Shane Miller and Michael A. Hess.

* A history of developers involved can be found at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/History. And a list of the many contributors comes with the distribution.

The release is available for download at the SourceForge download page:

Lazarus : idemake.cfg is missing

If you try to rebuild lazarus and get compiler message for not finding file idemake.cfg, you should find it on "C:\User\AppData\Local\Lazarus\idemake.cfg" and copy to lazarus installation folder...
