PureBasic 5.10 - Granted wishes release - is out !

[sec]

Great news!! Xmas to Fred & family & the team.

Thanks much.

[Franky]

Unbelievable!
Thanks a lot for these great new features, especially the multiline-feature.
Will the IDE be updated before the final release of 5.1? Please don't forget the lineindention-feature (perhaps autoindent to "(" or "=")

A question about the visual designer:
I'm using OpenSuse 12; 64bit system, I downloaded the Beta and started the formdesigner.
Now I have a panelgadget on the upper part of the window and a big white field (perhaps a canvas gadget?) on the bottom part of the window.
I can move the vertical splitter, click on the list view and type something into the "Objects"-field. But that 's all, no rightclick-menu, no dragn'drop, nothing.
Is it possible, that the settings-file for the form designer is delivered broken? I can see those 3 dots typically for a splitter gadget on the right side of the window, but I can't resize
any splitter there, only the whole window.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi, please use the Form Designer forum so I can answer your question best. Please also add an image or code so I can see what you are talking about, it's not really clear to be honest! To resize the splitter you've gotta use the splitter position in the property grid, you cannot resize it with the mouse

Thank you!

First test with a single source file with 25000+ lines, had to make four changes (all related to Bool and Boolean), everything seems to work fine.

I had a nice dream last night - I was in a wonderful place, surrounded by beautiful and amazing things.... hhmmmmm!!!
BUT NO !! - I'm awake!! Is this real?? Yes - I'm looking at the feature list for PB 5.10 !!

Seriously, truly awesome - thanks to Fred and the team.

Special mention for one small thing - IsDatabaseNull will help my code a lot. Fantastic

Main project compile of 29,000 lines needed just one line change (boolean related) and all looks good so far - quick test under Win XP Sp3.

Could you add 'JCALG1' decode support for Windows x86 for at least a transitional amount of time, this is for backward compatibility with existing data files?

I need JCALG1 too. A big project I develop since lot of years will no longer work without it. I use in this program my own file format containing AES and JCALG1.

I have the same issues as Franky. Running here on Win8 64 Bits.
Pretty much useless. you can't click on anything!

Edit:

Apart of that, Thanks Team!

Hi Fred, and thank you for the Christmas present. PureBasic syntax has become more beautiful.

Code: Select all

msgTxt$ = "Merci " +
          "beaucoup " +
          "Monsieur " +
          "Frédéric " +
          "Laboureur!"
       
MessageRequester("PureBasic 5.10 beta", 
                 msgTxt$, #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)

Wishing you, the PureBasic team, and one & all, a very Merry Christmas!

- Disallow native type for pointers

Why that?

- Disallow native type for pointers

Why that?

Search the forum, there are a lot of discussions about that.
In short: a structured pointer means something

*a.Integer

*a.yourstructure

a pointer with a native type doesn't mean anything

*a.i, *a.f, *a.l etc are all identical to *a

They are pointers to "something". To some unstructured memory. *a.i for example is not like *a.Integer as you could be induced to think at first. They created only confusion and they had no reason to exist.
