Fahrenheit
but we use Celsius

haha, yes, I know.
Just me pointing out the contradiction that the New World is stuck with old units

Fahrenheit was used in Europe before they improved to Celsius.

Wikipedia wrote:The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the Celsius scale replaced Fahrenheit in almost all of those countries — with the notable exception of the United States — typically during their metrication process.

There are not many English-speaking countries in Europe.

Thank you Fred and the Team!

Since Beta 8, I miss RenderMovieFrame(). That was a nice feature for
slideshows to render a movie on moving sprites. Will it come back again?

Ciao dige

It could comeback again. It wasn't working anymore anyway (was DX7 only), that's why it's removed.

one great thing about using Fahrenheit scale degrees is ;

my old Central A/C had only Programmable Thermostat to maintain temperature within 1 deg Celsius which = 1.8 deg Fahrenheit

my new 2-Stage Central A/C Unit has Programmable Thermostat in Fahrenheit ,to maintain temperature
to within just 1 degree F constantly , which is way better than the 1.8 or 2 deg F that the 1 deg Celsius scale only offered ,
my Home is much more comfortable maintaining to within just 1 deg Fahrenheit

**** Also thank you very much Fred for new PureBasic 5.20 beta 8 update ! ****

Actually, it's only the USA that uses Fahrenheit. The rest of the New World uses Celsius, except here in Canada where we use Kelvin -- it makes us feel warmer.

Today is a pleasant 300K.

@Fred

Thanks for the Module documentation.

Beta 9 is available ! We believe it is now stable to use, so don't hesitate to test it on your project before it's going final !

Yassss! Thank you Fred!

Thank you Fred

Much obliged, PB team.
