What an amazing feature list. Thank you very much!

...and of course Merry Christmas to the whole PureBasic community!

This is going to take some time to absorb all these new features!

.... which will have to wait for next week for me

Awesome job PB team!

[ozzie]

Fantastic! Many thanks.

Wow ...
The only problem is I won't get to play with all the new features before the world ends.
I'm puzzled though with the version number 5.10 (five point ten). Should it be 5.01 (five point one) ?

There's no rule or standard that says version numbers have to be incremental. Usually it's a higher step for more features or functionality. So, 5.00 to 5.01 would indicate just a small bug fix or two, but 5.00 to 5.10 means a lot of new stuff or fixes, which is the case here. And 5.00 to 6.00 would indicate a major change to the product, which really this release could have been, given multi-line statements and integrated IDE with form designer alone.

Yep, like religion and politics ...
Merry Xmas

Using PureBasic since ~2002 quite under the radar ... my first forum post!

Many thanks to Fred, fr34k, André, Polo and all i've forgotten for this really professional product!

Would it be possible to have a compiler directive "#COMPATIBLEMODE_461" or "#COMPATIBLEMODE_500" so that old code files could be used un-modified; allowing new code to to be used elsewhere?

Thx a lot for this great new release!
It will take some time to test
Merry Christmas!

[Kukulkan]

Wow, thank you

This seems to be one of the most important updates since years . The feature list is very impressive and I really like the new functions, parameters and possibilities!

Merry Christmas!

Code: Select all

#PB_Compiler_IsMainFile

is very convenient!
So you can append test code to the end of each module. In the past, i used

Code: Select all

CompilerIf 0

and switched it to 1 if i wanted to test - and forgot very often to turn back to 0
Great!
