Please document known issues then! Brrr...

Or do i have enough time to post some ideas for it?

The DX9 support will come with 4.20 with no new commands or anything.
Fred said with 4.30 he will focus on Ogre, which i am sure will mean more than just a recompilation but also some new commands.

Thank you for this new beta. Beta3 was so old news....

a question to freak: do we keep posting issues in the regular bugs section, or is there a special one for the quickly changing Beta releases ?

I must say that I am disappointed; since the bug I mentioned in the previous beta release hasn't been fixed. The "unresolved _TransparentBlt bug" which was a error in the msimg32.lib file.

Code: Select all

Import "msimg32.lib"
  TransparentBlt(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k)
EndImport

Or any idea on how to change my code?

Hi! I noticed that this has not yet been addressed... Can we have it for the official 4.10?

This August 9th .. ODBC, http://www.purebasic.com/beta/

Is not needed in b4 right? I usually check that spot regularly for any updates
but I don't want to put something in b4, that was a fix in b4 ..

Let me know.

I would say that no it is not needed because before I updated to b4 the file date I had for it was sometime in August, but after the update the file date had changed to October 8th

I have checked the mathematics for floats and ints, and compared it 4.02. It now seems to be consistent again. I have not checked it extensively against quads and doubles.

There are still problems with quads.
If you also make a speed test, please let us know

blueznl · Post by **blueznl** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 9:39 pm

Well, at least even the speed is consistent
