Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

If this alone was added to the next major release, I'd gladly purchase a 2nd license !
I totally agree in all points ! Also the second license Image

I remember Fred said in this interview the PB team had been experimenting with LLVM so I'm hoping the killer feature for PB 6.0 will be support for ARM processors.

Edit:
I'd happily pay another license fee for that :wink:

The killer feature for PB 6.0 with LLVM would not only be ARM but also
getting excellent performance optimizations. :)

I'd put ARM above the library manager.

Another possibility with LLVM is wasm.

I would hope for a better integrated UI for PB 6 too. Third party libraries just makes your .exe bloat.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

To display an icon in Linux:

Code: Select all

    ; Linux icon - 14/NOV/2014
    CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS=#PB_OS_Linux
      gtk_window_set_icon_(WindowID(#WINDOW_MAIN), ImageID(13))  
    CompilerEndIf

Can't it be built-in?

Native MariaDB/MysSQLconnectivity would be high on my request list as would native secure database connection.

SVG to PDF for windows would be nice as well.

Oh and world peace :)

Wonder if the core developers would give us an update?

- iOS support
- Librarian
- UI (Perhaps gadgets working on XML/HTML)


And just a survey, if we have these features, how many would consider buying an extra license/pay a fee to support the core team? 8)
