PureBasic 5.00 beta 8

[RichAlgeni]

It seems the next realease is not in a stable status.
Maybe some more tests and additional betas are needed?

@IceSoft: Thanks for replacing me in the doghouse!

Thanks team

Been coding and testing all today with 5.00 b8 - no problems for me.

In fact all the betas have been perfectly stable with my current big project - perhaps my code is not 'tricky' enough!

Amazing work as always, guys! Purebasic remains the sexiest programming language ever.

No prob.

Any change or new stuff in ftp module?

I've compiled some stuff with the Betas and all worked fine. (To be honest, some stuff did not work, but after digging through my own code I found out that was caused by doing things not ENTIRELY correct, so it's hard to blame Fred & Co for that )

Not sure if it's me, but since last SQlite update (around 4.61) I have to do (noticeably) more FinishDatabaseQuery() calls than before, otherwise database is locked and program locks (multi-threaded). I wonder if they changed something in SQlite code that broke existing (albeit poorly coded) programs. Other than that I really like new betas and the overall progress of PB. Thanks guys!

You need one FinishDatabaseQuery() after every DatabaseQuery(), why do you need 'more' ?

Sorry, I had to explain it better. What am trying to say is that my program worked fine pre PB 4.61 but once I compiled it with 4.61 and 5.00 betas Sqlite started to randomly lock my databases. As I have multi threaded system the whole application locks due to db deadlock situation. I know it's probably due to my own design fault (thread nightmare), non the less something has changed (presumably in Sqlite library) that affects how Sqlite behaves between pre and post v4.61. I have went over and over the code but don't seem to find why occasionally it would not release db locks (had to do a dirty hack to temporarily fix it). It's not really a good practice to use multi-user Sqlite databases over network and in a threaded manner.
