I tested several source codes with PB 6.21 beta 2 (x64) on Windows 11, and did not encounter any problems.
Many thanks

Same here on Windows 11, my apps work fine.

Woot! Thanks Fred!

I just checked the beta 2 of PB6.21 with my two large GeoWorld project codes (together 150,000 lines), and after a small code change according to the more strict syntax check (=> https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=637145), they both run fine. Thank you

I got some struggles with the 2ddrawing and the 2d sprite engine, but I'm not sure yet, maybe I just have to draw things in a different way. (Beta 2)
[Solved, I had to change my draws.] Also Thanks for beta 3, seems good so far.

Woot! Thanks Fred!

If any possible, it would be nice if when replying to a post that mentions inconsistent behavior with "fixed", there was an explanation of the new behavior as well, since I often feel unsure of what the new behavior is meant to be.
Especially if the post reports different cases of inconsistency, it would help a lot to know which of the inconsistencies were fixed and in which way.
E.g., if we take an older post about if (map("non existent key") situation, consistency fix could mean that maps don't create new keys if a non-existing key is accessed, or that they are always created no matter what, just as an example.
Thanks for some nice updates!

I usually explain when there is an ambiguity, but feel free to ask of you want more info
