Compatibility and support

FreeBASIC-NG is based on the FreeBASIC 1.20.0 development line at upstream commit 5714d10adb21ba0d5d65d7d497ac32f509bb95ff. It is a separate project and is neither an official FreeBASIC release nor affiliated with upstream maintainers.

The project targets source compatibility with that base. It makes no ABI compatibility claim for arbitrary FreeBASIC distributions, and package managers should treat it as an alternative compiler distribution.

Linux x86_64/AArch64, macOS Intel/Apple silicon, and Windows x86_64/ARM64 are Tier 1 native host archives. Classic AmigaOS/m68k and MorphOS/PowerPC are qualified developer-preview target SDKs; they are not native host archives or package-manager targets. AROS qualification remains deferred until stable aros-toolchains inputs can be acquired through aros-tools.
