PureBasic 6.20 is out !

[Quin]

Yes, it's missing from the package, it will be added for the next beta.

The next beta version, i.e. 2, still has a message error due to ucrt.lib
Tested in windows arm64.

Maybe a problem with ARM64 only, I just tried on Windows 10 x64 and it worked flawlessly with 6.20 beta 2

Thanks for windows arm64 support, works great.

I think libucrt.lib should be ditched.
There is no point for static linking, as all Windows ARM systems already have the UCRT runtime.

Thanks to the PB team and the contributors on GitHub (or via other ways) for the great new features, improvements and bug fixes.

2025-01-17: Happy New Year everyone ! The 6.20 beta 3 is available for testing and comes some new stuffs with more fixes:

Code: Select all

- Added QT based IDE on Linux (thanks Fr34k) ! It's still early stage and could be unstable, feedback is welcome. Another prefs file is used (purebasic_qt.prefs) as some saved values aren't compatiable with the GTK version.
- Added external colorscheme support for the IDE to easily share them (thanks Kenmo !)
- Added string above 2GB support for 64-bit versions of PureBasic. Such big strings will be probably slow to handle, but it could be useful for simple operations.

Bugfixes for this version:

• Windows: [Done] Dialog error: '#PB_Editor_TabNavigation' flag is not supported for the following gadget: editor

Yeah, great!
Thank you so much!

[Quin]

Thanks as always Fred!

[minimy]

After reading the entire post, I must also thank pf_shadoko for his contribution to Ogre1.4 and amazing examples.
And thanks again to all the PB team!

A forever noob question:
PB 6.20 and Ogre1.4 can run over macos catalina?

[PrincieD]

Excellent! thanks Fred

[useful]

Is webview available in qt?
Or just gtk3?

[Fred]

Just GTK3

[kenmo]

Thanks for this! Testing on Linux first.

Hi Fred, when using the new user lib do un-used procedures get pruned from the build?

Hi Fred, when using the new user lib do un-used procedures get pruned from the build?

According to Fred's first post...

There is some limitation for PureBasic purelibrary:
- No debugger support (in progress)
- All functions are compiled in the same object, which means the library will always includes all the functions in the final executable.
- No help support (in progress)

Ahh that's a bugger, might as well compile to a DLL then
