The sixth release of forthcoming PureBasic 4.00 is available for testing, grab it while it's hot. It fixed a bunch of bugs and improve the reliability of this version. We encourage everyone who can switch to do it now, so the last bugs could be ironed quickly. Some news:
- OpenWindow() syntax has been changed: the flags is now at the end (before the ParentID), to respect the other commands definition. It's also optional, so opening a working window is a bit quicker to type
- New preference in the IDE: "Always hide error log". it ignores the per-source setting and forces the log to stay hidden always.
Thanks to all the beta testers, you do a great job and we are confident than the v4.00 will be a solid release.
Enjoy !

No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language.
There are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes. Herbert Mayer
Has anyone done testing with the new thread-safety support? Adding thread-safety to the language can open up room for many new subtile problems like race conditions, improper internal mutex locking, etc.
Has major testing been done with this? It might be a good idea to do this before a final 4.0 release.
I was building an application in v3.9 that used threads but it mucked up with all the string manipulation. When I tried to pull out strings from various gadgets I would get incorrect values.
Since I converted it to v4 Beta 4 (then beta 5) I've had no problems with any variable/string manipulation with or without thread-safety switched on.
