It's not like Pascal changes a whole lot.

Free Pascal does very infrequent releases though the compiler is under active development and even has a bunch of new features both for the compiler (e.g. a wasm backend) and the language itself. There are always multiple daily commits in the git log by several developers.

The discussions in Gitlab are still active: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues

Of course, you can always build the latest version from Git.
