PureBasic 5.30 is out !

Merci, Fred (and the rest of the team).

A tangible mark of appreciation will follow, as soon as i'm able to locate where you've hidden the Donation button...

Hi Blue
Donations are appreciated

The Donation Button is located on the same page where you downloaded PureBasic 5.30 (at the bottom)

I'd like to see an additional button placed at the top of this forum page (large and obvious) so that it might give some users a gentle reminder of how awesome this community is and allow them to show their appreciation more often!

Yeah, this might be a good idea. But I wouldn't put it on top of the forum page, but rather replace the annoying Google advertisement (at bottom) instead.

Thank you PB team for 5.3.

At work I still have to deal with Windows-OS, so I was able to try the changes with #PB_Event_SizeWindow and #PB_Event_MoveWindow.
Using BindEvent for this (in conjunction with SmartWindowRefresh) seems to work better now.
The only flickering gadgets (from the ones I tested) on a panel seem to be ImageGadget and the PanelItem TABs themselves.

BTW: I only resize the gadgets on the visible PanelItem...

OS: Windows 7-64

Thanks again

It seems that since version 5.30 I'm no longer able to create windows objects in threads, as it works perfect in versions before.

What is the reason for this?

If I now have to serialize all handling of windows in a main thread, this will lead to a very huge overhead to my projects. There is nothing about it in the changelog anyway.
It was so easy to handle communication from one thread to another or to the main thread by just throwing some messages into the window message queue which is not possible any longer.

Are there other points where I should spot on while dealing with threads?

For me, threads and PB are a big black box. I can not really figure out what is allowed and what is not.

Why in the compiled (version 5.30) programs for Windows, a lot of bytes $CC? This is an array of bytes of garbage, which was not in previous versions!

That also happens with the old executeables like the 5.00 version
