PureBasic 5.20 beta 20 is out

[eesau]

Added: 2 license files to easy add the needed information when shipping PB programs (see reference documentation)

Where can I find these 2 files ?

Open the help file and scroll down a little bit. There's a 'License' section under which you find these.

WOW! This is truly amazing!
Awesome new features dudes!
Your dedication and perseverance to elevate Purebasic to new levels are
deeply appreciated. My sincerest thanks to the entire Purebasic team.

Now just one itsy bitsy tiny thing:

X86 version runs fine but the X64 crashes during IDE startup.
(X64 version: Got it up and running by following Kukulkan's method:
Bug section for windows:
IMA in IDE

I have this on Windows and Mac. It has something to do with projects and auto-open last project. I had to turn this of to be able to work with...

Best regards

Hi,
Interesting, the x64 version works fine here, although I'm using win8.

You could try a clean reinstall, see if that fixes anything...

Thanks Fred & Team, much appreciated.

I went to http://zlib.net/ to see what the enhancements were in version 1.2.7, and was met with this:

Version 1.2.8 fixes a very rare bug in decompression. All users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.

Figures!!! Not sure if this has any bearing on PB, but I thought I better share just in case.

It can always be updated in the next beta if it becomes a serious issue.

Looks like a good work, keep going please!

Looks pretty sweet, I'll give it a go right after service when I actually have time again.

Great stuff Thank you Fred & team
I love the Module ... will make my life easier

[eesau]

By the way, is autocomplete coming for items declared public in a module (i.e. to get the autocomplete popup list after you've typed the :: for module access)? That would be great.

Thanks Fred!!!!
Modules are my number one, long time feature wish.

Suppose I missed beta 1

It's very nice to see steady improvements to the language.

Thank you.

Some thoughts/questions:
1) For a programmer that uses different programming languages PureBasic's GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, FAKERETURN situation is really odd.
Maybe "we" have to go back to the drawing board and think about what are "we" trying to achieve here? And what is the best solution?

2) I suppose Module is the PB way of introducing some sort of object oriented programming, but what is the thought behind Runtime?

3) Will PB's form editor be able to export to xml? (Dialog)

Overall: very nice progress; well done PB team
