PureBasic 5.10 - Granted wishes release - is out !

[Thorium]

Amazing update.
A lot of stuff thats very usefull for me, thank you!

It's unfortuante that this was dropped ...

For upgrading, there is no way to "recompress" old compressed files -- so to upgrade an application using it, it would require you to write a program in pre-5.1 to decompress all data files and then in 5.1 compress them. Adds a layer of complication...

It would be nice to have at least decompress available.

Why was it dropped?

There is a way, use this code to decompress: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=38606
It's even up to 20% faster than the PB integrated decompressor.

JCALG1 support has been dropped.

Any licensing issues if someone would post JCALG1 specification or sources for fully implementing it without PureBasic internal support? I did see mentioning that unpacking might be included later.

- Added: PostEvent(), EventData()

Many thanks Fred.

This new feature has already allowed us to remove hundreds of lines of messy code from our applications.

We no longer need to simulate events, so inter-class communication has suddenly become a non-issue.

Merci Fred and PB team too!
Merry Christmas!

Attention!
With PB 5.10 #PB_Integer <> #PB_Long on x86 and #PB_Integer <> #PB_Quad on x64!
So update your code if there is something like:

Code: Select all

CompilerSelect #PB_Integer
  CompilerCase #PB_Long
  CompilerCase #PB_Quad
CompilerEndSelect

Wow!

Are you running cod3 32bit on 64bit os (j/k)

Merry Xmas to RichAlgeni

- Added: Line continuation feature, with the following operands: ',' '|' '+' And Or Xor (for now, the IDE hasn't be upgraded to display quickhelp/parenthesis correctly on multiline)

This.

Happy PBmas Fred and team. I love you.

Awesome update!

Think about it:
A programming language which is affordable, supports Unicode out of the box without hassle, compiles to small and native binaries, is able to do GUI and Games, connects to databases, has built in network support, .... and has a slick IDE with included FormDesigner. Come on! As soon as Code Editor and Form Designer work together more closely, make some advertisements on the internet and ALL the Delphi and VB6 programmers will come to us. Ergo: World Domination!
Congratulations PB-Dev-Team.

Thank you and merry Xmas!

JCALG1 support has been dropped.

- Removed: DirectX7 and NT4 subsystem on Windows

Very bizarre to remove DX7 when may low end GPU chips will not properly support DX9, but will still support DX7 very well. You have just introduced massive compatibility issues for PB users by doing this.

hmmmm,
Release Date of DirectX 9.0 was December 19, 2002 !
10 years after... ok, longer than MS supported their most OS's ...
