Thank you Fred and team for your continued diligence with PB!

April 1 is April Fools Day ... but Fred is definitely no fool! Au contraire!
Happy Birthday Fred!
Please keep up the excellent work!

Interesting, I never noticed that before but you're right, the PB icon is bigger than all the others here on my iMac as well - Sequoia 15.3.2.

Great!

Will there also be macOS and Linux bug fixes forthcoming, or will this just be a Windows-focused version release?

Thanks Fred!

Thanks, I was hoping there would be a way with the default Help window.

Sorry, forgot to mention in my original post that I'm on a Mac, and unfortunately that doesn't seem to work there.
Ctrl-F doesn't do anything, and Cmd-F switches to the IDE and opens the Find dialog.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but within the PB Help window (from the IDE choose menu Help > Help ...) is there a way to search and highlight all the occurrences of a search string within a help page ?

Using the Help Search feature it lists all the help pages that contain the search ...

+1 for new libraries to allow Microphone and Camera access!

Has Fred given some clues as to what will be in the next update after 6.20?

There are so many, but for me the most significant updates of the last few years has been;
- C-backend
- TLS support for Network library

Or maybe for any relevant gadgets just add the appropriate cursor position attribute for existing functions:
GetGadgetAttribute()
SetGadgetAttribute()

Not yet, but I'm working on it (it's hard to get rid of Minecraft )

It doesn't end Fred, my kids are both at University and they STILL play Minecraft!

+1

Anything new on this?

Thanks dseven. At least it is moving in the right direction, albeit slowly, which is too bad given the Mac is a great platform but maybe just not enough Mac PB users to justify the effort.

I pop in here occasionally to see how things are going -- How's the overall Mac OS integration support from PureBasic these days?

Upgraded the Movie library on OS X to support modern OS X version

Haven't tried it yet, but maybe this change in version 6.0 will better address the Movie Library issues on OSX ...
