Free Pascal compiler now supports dynamic packages

This seems to be a fork of Lazarus. The official Lazarus is at https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I have been running the website getlazarus.org for 13 years to support add features to both FPC and Lazarus that jump ahead of the normal releases. We have been working of dynamic packages for a long time, and there will be a period between now, and when it is sent as a MR back into the mainline. When enough time has passed and feedback given these features are typically rolled into the main release, and at getlazarus I move on towards developing the next features.

Thanks for your work. Can anyone help with getting the next fpc versions out? The last release was v3.2.2 on 20th May, 2021 [1].

3.2.4 is in RC2.

There is also a Mooncompiler 2.4.11 targeting Delphi 12.2.

Which one should I use? the lazarus-ide or getlazarus. It's kind of confusing for a new user.
