I would not recommend using the 3D commands for any serious work. I firmly believe 3D should be removed from PB. Time is wasted on updating the 3D side when 3D users will simply never be happy.
Now that the long awaited functionality has been incorporated,
any rational adult should know that it would be counterproductive to delete the 3D capabilities from PureBasic.

I can not even imagine a legitimate reason for such a move.

If one doesn't like the 3D toolset, then that developer shouldn't use it.

To advocate denying others that development capability in future versions seems more than a little selfish.

Totally agreed. It's too much of a niche feature.
Agreed, but highly unlikely: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 02#p430237

Usually means: Long Term Support.

Could also be: Lost-out To SpiderBasic. - Sorry poor joke!

If yes, he should act a bit more serious....

Never have, never will. I only speak for myself. However, I applaud your efforts in trying to start an issue between you and me, but I hope you don't mind if I don't take your bait and simply put you on ignore, instead.

Thanks Fred!

Just found out today about the release of 5.21, because I'm only checking the news-page.
Can you please update the news.
