#PB_OS_Windows_Server_2008_R2 is missing in PB5.0 final (haven't installed the beta, sorry).
#PB_OS_Windows_Server_2012 works, but it is missing in the docs for OSVersion().
MSDN: Operating System Version
Code: Select all
Debug #PB_OS_Windows_Server_2008_R2
Debug #PB_OS_Windows_Server_2012
Does this already work with the latest beta?

Code: Select all
x.d = 3
Debug x ; -> 3.0
Debug Str(x) ; -> 3
For the sake of consistency, wouldn't it be better if Str(x) would also yield "3.0"?
IMHO "3.0" is actually better than "3" in this case, because it indicates that the respective variable is not an integer.

Str() automatically rounds to whole numbers. So imo it shouldn't change any, otherwise it would serve the same purpose of StrD().

Ooops.
I was meaning StrD().
Second approach:
Code: Select all
x.d = 3
Debug x ; -> 3.0
Debug StrD(x) ; -> 3
For the sake of consistency, wouldn't it be better if StrD(x) would also yield "3.0"?

Yes, we could use StrD(x,1) in this particular case, but that would cut off decimal places in other cases.

Quite unlikely. Just try something like this to ascertain:
Code: Select all
Define x.d = 3.0
Debug "x.d = «" + x.d + "» from debugger's perspective..."
