Hello Fred,
before you publish the release please ask us if there is an important bug that has been forgotten.

My app with 6.10 -> 9.44 MB
My app with 6.11 B3 -> 8.58 MB

Thank you! All reductions gratefully accepted.

creating a DLL throws "Unknown Error" with Beta 3

Only C-Backend...

After deleting my old "PB" Installation and clean installing PB 6.11 Beta 3, it worked.

Console App 6.10: 581KB
Console App 6.11B3: 588KB

DLL 6.10: 1.007KB
DLL 6.11B3: 1.007KB

Hmm... size difference is minimal here (around 500 KB-2MB). In any case though it's at least always smaller.
Thanks for the 24 and 32-bit WAV support too!

Mhhh! That looks very good, let's see

Short WinAPP:
v610: 570kB
v611: 238kB

New linker works fine

Projet :Bibliotheque Personnelle

v610 : 1848 kB
v611 : 1319 kB

Excellent, New linker works fine here too.
Compiling seems quicker.

Thanks for the feedback ! I also saw such improvement here

The size of the compiled .exes are now so close to the (additionally installed) vc compiler, I guess we can call the vc one deprecated?
