PureBasic 3.91 Beta 1

Post by **Dare2** » Mon May 03, 2004 2:02 am

Whoa. My ISP goes down for 12 hours and another PB beta is released! If they went down for 7 days I'd log in to find version 4.00 is old hat.

Thanks. Looking forward to the all-singing, all-dancing v4.00

Compiled my project:

v3.81: 96 kb

v3.90: 100 kb unchanged code gets bigger without implementing new features? must be some additional checks? I want less checks and more speed

v3.91: 98 kb well better than nothing

A new sub-number just for a new linker? Why not wait until some bugs are fixed? You only have 8 releases left until 4.00 and this means completely new compiler core...

3.91 Beta 2
3.91 Beta 3
3.91 Beta 4, etc...

or

3.91b Beta 2

Technically he could have an infinite amount of releases prior to 4.0..

3.91 Beta 2.2

LOL...

PB version numbers are stored in a float... like this 3.91000000000000000000

That's why Fred didn't implement doubles yet

it seems that PB now initializes COM... Took me a while to figure out why my ActiveX code was acting wierd...

This should be documented....

I have a bad 56k connection and downloading a 4 MB file just to see the
readme.txt is too much hassle... can someone post the readme.txt here?

Well, the usual "for testing purpose only...", and the news:

- Added IsDatabase(), IsFile(), IsFont(), IsDirectory(), IsGadget(), IsImage(), IsLibrary(), IsMenu(), IsModule(), IsMovie(), IsPalette(), IsSprite(), IsSprite3D(), IsStatusBar(), IsSysTrayIcon(), IsToolBar(), IsWindow()
- Manifest file (for XP skins) is now included in the exe
- Changed the LCC resource compiler and linker to PellesC one which brings several cool features: allow to link with VisualC++ .lib, smaller executable, no more Lcc dependency.

What do you mean exactly ?

PolyVector · Post by **PolyVector** » Tue May 04, 2004 8:57 am

@Fred
I had this line in a number of my programs...

Code: Select all

if CoInitialize_(#Null)=#S_OK

It stopped working when I updated to 3.91 Beta 1 because CoInitialize_() started returning #S_FALSE...

From the MSDN:

S_OK
The COM library was initialized successfully on this thread.
S_FALSE
The COM library is already initialized on this thread.

Maybe there's something I'm missing here?
