So much improvements since my first pb version (3.94)...

That's a big step, thank you for the hard work.

This fresh version might help me deciding to code a little game.

I know this is probably too early, but can we know what are the next (exciting) steps ?

An improved GUI Designer ?
Cross-Compiler ?
