Thanks. I've been coding with 5.5, so I haven't had ascii for a while.. more specifically my question is:

1. When is 5.42 going away?
2. What version number will be the next LTS?

Cheers!

1. The next update to v5.42 LTS will be after v5.50 is finalized.
2. The bug fixes are then reflected in the new v5.43 LTS.

Ok, I think it's coming together. The LTS version numbers have nothing to do with the beta version numbers -- ?

The beta line is a fast track of changes and updates, that will be merged into the LTS every year or two -- ?

Regarding your first question; that's correct. Before v5.42 LTS Stable there was several Beta releases. v5.42 LTS Beta 1, .. Beta 2, .. Beta 3

Since PureBasic 5.20, we introduced a new LTS suffix after the version name. Some of you wondered what it means, and what was the purpose of it. Basically, a LTS (Long Term Support) version will be supported for 2 years trough bug fixes release without any command or compiler modification. If you need stability in your development, you can choose to stick to an LTS version and then when the support is over go to the next one. We will provide clear migration path when going from one LTS version to another one. The advantage here is you don’t have to worry about code adpation when developping and still have stabilisation releases to have a rock solid development enviromnent. The disadvantage is you don’t get the new features of new major release until the next LTS version is out. That’s a balance to find and a decision to make, but now the choice is yours !

Damn blog, been a member since 2003. Maybe it's time to go read it. ;)

Thanks for that info.

Cheers!
