PureBasic 4.60 Beta 1 released! (for real)

[MachineCode]

the CanvasGadget() opens a whole new world of possibilities! For someone like me who likes to design and build controls of my own creation for specialized purposes, this is a toolkit tailor-made for me.

The CanvasGadget() can be used for custom controls? I tried the example and it just looked like a painting area to me, for the user to draw on with the mouse.

That is just one way to use it, you can make custom controls just as well. The idea is that it's a gadget that has a range of input events for mouse and keyboard control as well as drawing. For an example, look at the IDE: the file tabs are made using this gadget.

....Or the impressive new Color Picker!
I think the example code is a little misleading as it doesn't illustrate in what serious matter it could be used for. Maybe you should add a note to the help topic, pointing out that the IDE tabs & Color Picker tool use it as well?!

I think it's the name that is a bit misleading, as CanvasGadget() (to me at least) seems to implicate that it's merely for drawing. I suppose further examples in the help file could illustrate the versatility better.

Please update the SQLite library to use the latest release, looks like the library is still at 3.6.23.1. There's been 7 releases since then and is now at 3.7.5. Thanks!

As a business applications developer and this is mostly a 3D release there's not much here for me. Does that mean the next release will have more enhancements for folks that develop applications and not games? =)

For example, I'd love to see authentication added to the Mail library. Right now without authentication the Mail library is useless if your ISP requires it. Isn't that most of us???
I believe adding a simple AUTH LOGIN user/password authentication (required by my ISP) command, followed by the user and password in Base64, is all it would take?

ZIP library support would be handy as well. Oh, and ... ...

but thanks for the release
I don't use the 3d stuff, but still sounds good!

+1 The source for these would be a nice start.

Suppose it is a matter of opinion, but for me this is a descriptive name that I like.

The IDE source isn't open anymore so this being released isn't likely but I think the inclusion in the docs of a more advanced use of this gadget would certainly be a good thing. The current sample just doesn't do it justice.

[DoubleDutch]

Not the IDE itself, just the code for the controls.

[mback2k]

The IDE got some additions as well, like the ability to build projects directly from the command-line, [...]

Did anyone already find out how to use this new feature? I cannot find any reference to a parameter or something like that.

After I was released from hospital, this is a nice "welcome back" surprise. Canvas gadges is something, I desperatly wanted. Vielen Dank!

MOTHER !"#&$%&$%

I get away a few days and a new release!

Someone is gonna get fired at Fantasie Software, for not contacting me!

AWESOME update!

Thanks all... including the M.I.A TMyke and all others who helped to vamp the 3d library

If i was a girl i would be having multiple orgasms right now =D

[Frabbing]

I get this error from time to time in the IDE. Didnt manage to reproduce it on purpose so I can't help on debugging.

I'm getting, too. Just in Beta 3...

Thanks for the continuous upgrades and support of this great language.
