FPC 2.6.2 released

[marcov]

FPC has released 2.6.2 and the "FIXES" (stable) branch has been
reversioned to 2.6.3.

If there are problems with ifdef and versioning please reply in this thread (mentioning the branch) and I'll have a look.

I assume Lazarus snapshots will migrate to 2.6.2 quickly, and within a month of two there will be a 2.6.2 based release.

2.6.2 is mostly evolution, in general there are no reasons to quickly phase out 2.6.0 in favour of 2.6.2 (if only because many people will still get old versions via their Linux distro package systems)

OTOH, there are near 100 database related patches going from 2.6.0 and 2.6.2, and some might also touch zeos (e.g. db.pas)

I also updated the list of database patches for the next release:

note, the tbookmark changes are for the next major(2.8.0) release, not minor (2.6.4), that goes for other really radical or compatibility breaking features.

Lazarus 1.0.8, which is based on FPC 2.6.2 came out today.
