PureBasic 5.10 beta 8

[Fred]

Hi there,

It's an endless beta cycle, but as we are polishing the docs, and fixed some bugs in the meantime, here it is. You can consider this one as final, as nothing should be change code wise (only some doc are remaining). So don't hesitate to migrate right now and report any problems !

Have fun,

The Fantaisie Software Team.

First!

Gonna test now!

Thanks Fred!

Can I ask a quick question? There are a couple of features I'd like to bring live. Cam I install the release version on top of a beta version? Or should I uninstall the beta first?

I would rather have an endless beta cycle if it gets the worst of the bugs fixed As always thank you to you and the team for all your hard work.

... Just install it in a separate directory, e.g. like this:

C:\PureBasic\5.00\
C:\PureBasic\5.10 beta 8\

Also don't forget to start each IDE (or those which are not your "main" installation) with the "/PORTABLE" parameter.

as we are polishing the docs

Speaking of which, is there any help on the visual designer? In the manual it says -

The Visual Designer is delivered with its own help-file. You will find it in your PureBasic directory as "Visual Designer.chm" file.

but I see no such file...

We will work on a Form Designer documentation ASAP, this refers to the old Visual Designer app

[Psychophanta]

Sure will be the latest beta? Lets try it then!

Thanks.

I haven't downloaded it yet, but will there be a hotkey to toggle between form and code? If not, please do it, as it will be needed. Thanks!

Fred, quick and easy request for the final: with the "Format Indentation" option, can you make it remove trailing spaces from the end of lines, too? That way our sources are formatted nicely and without wasted space at the end of each line.

and the "line continuing Feature" ?

Ontopic: it feels like Groundhog Day

thx for the hard working process to keep the programmers happy

What about it? Removing trailing spaces doesn't affect it.
