3.94 is pretty good, 4.xx should be awesome, let's give fred the time to do what he has to do, if it takes him a few months more, i expect it to be worth it...

Not exactly... Fred said v4 for Windows should be before the end of 2005,
which is part of the phrase "short term 2005/2006". The rest of 2005/2006
is for Linux and other work.

Sorry - the quote I read was "Short-term: release the v4 for Windows, probably before the end of the year. " - where the year wasn't specifically mentioned.

cheers

Oh, hehehe... but I think we both know what year he meant, otherwise he
would have said "before the end of next year".

ok, let me become a lawyer, anyone knows the meaning of the word 'probable'?

now let's get of the guys back and instead hurt him with countless suggestions and requests to make pb even better!

But since I don't know, that would be an assumption and you know what happens when we assume.

Stop it, you're starting to scare me!

rsts · Post by **rsts** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 2:57 am

OK - I'm done.

I think we all know my position is for Fred to take whatever time he needs to "do it right".

I prefer schedule slip rather than quality.

cheers

@Trond:
Wie have the 'Debug' keyword (and most likely the API)

What did you think the debugging functions were stored in?

remi_meier · Post by **remi_meier** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 2:33 pm

You know what I mean! The debugger-lib isn't a normal lib in the PureLibraries
folder. It belongs to the compiler, but all the libraries in PureLibraries\ are
extensions of the raw compiler.
But we could also test programs without ANY output:

Code: Select all

a = 5
b = a * 4
while a = 20
wend

So if you aren't lazy, you really don't need any lib
