PureBasic 6.30 is out !

[Fred]

A new beta version is available, hopefully the last ! It has only a few changes:

Code: Select all

- Changed GetHIDReportDescriptor() to return a buffer (MemorySize() can be used to get the size, and FreeMemory() to free it)

Bugfixes for this version:

• Windows: [Done] Maybe bug: CreateMail/SendMail sets wrong Date header?
• Windows: [Done] PackEntry info disappears when unpacking
• Windows: [Done] PB 6.30 b3 x64 - Debugger error.
• Windows: [Done] BUG-v630b5] WebViewGadget example code crashes w/Purifier(Win11)
• Windows: [Done] StartVectorDrawing(PdfVectorOutput()) ERROR on PDF Create
• MacOS: [Done] SetGadgetState() on ListIconGadget() generates #PB_EventType_Change
• MacOS: [Done] BindWebViewCallback & Debug

This list was created automatically. All updated bug threads from the date of the last final version have been determined.

After the testing period, I have to say that I don't see any problems with the hidlib.
I managed to reverse engineer the vendor defined / undefined raw inputs for my wacom digitalizer + pen.
Without driver, the OS (hidclass.sys) did not provide an entry point, so like the mice/keyboards, only the enumeration was available, but no data.
After installing a driver that took away the handle from the OS and shared the entry point, I was able to get the raw data.
Now it works with all the modifier buttons, touchsliders, pen positions, pen buttons, pressure value, and got a new tool that was not available for me before. Now that's what I call a christmas gift.

Thank you PB Team!

I compiled my Loopz Remix game with the latest version (Beta 6) and everything works perfectly. I've been using PureBasic for over 20 years and have never regretted it. I'm less active on the forums than I used to be, but PureBasic remains my favorite language for my small projects. I hope we'll continue to see this language, which I love so much, evolve for a long time. Thanks for everything!

I tested my Deltrapp -R application (over 80k lines of code).
It works as expected.
Very good programming language.
Thanks a lot.

I see I'm late to the final version.
PB6.30 b7 and final frequently freezes or crashes for me.
Linux Mint Debian Edition (but the Ubuntu-based one too).
Error message is:

An Error has been detected in the IDE!
Error: Segment violation
File: PureBasic.pb
Line: 564

How can I help determine the cause?
