PureBasic Forums - English

The cursor position and current line infos are still chopped in the most recent IDE.
Could that field be enlarged, please ?
It seems like a minor modification to the IDE code...

Ah thanks.

beta 9 is available and is focusing on doc improvement (english only for now). As a side note we dropped codesign support for Windows package as the price went crazy for this (basically from 200 euros for 3 years to 450 euros per year, which is a total rip-off for nearly no advantage as AV still flags the execs as malware regardless of the signing state)

Great news

The whole code signing thing is a scam, you can get ssl certs for free so why not get a code certs chained from the domains cert.

Totally! They do nothing; and don't even prove who authored the app (or that it hasn't been modified) because malware authors can hack or steal legit certs to sign their exes to make them appear safe when they're not. I've posted links to news stories about this before, or anyone can Google about stolen certs.

Thanks for beta 9, Fred!

Damn, talk about gouging somebody for money!

beta 9?
lets take a check, THANKS!

Amazing work! Installing now

PB 6.03 beta 9 installed and running.
Thank you Fred
for the continuing improvement to PureBasic and for your unrelenting bug chasing.
Your work is much appreciated.

I noticed that I still have an old entry in my compiler dropdown (see screenshot below). How can I fix this?
I have removed older versions of PB from my PC.
Thanks!

Remove it from preferences -> compiler

Thanks! Problem resolved.

By the way I see FASM.exe in the latest beta's Compilers folder. Is it still supported by PB 6.x?
