PureBasic 6.10 LTS is out !

[Little John]

Will applications compiled with the new version of PureBasic be able to run on each supported Windows version (Vista, 7, ...) without the need of installing any MSVCRT runtime package?

When programs were compiled with older PureBasic versions, has there ever been the need of installing any MSVCRT runtime package? Personally, I never encountered that.

Yup, it'll just work, no need for installing anything. The only consequence is that XP support got dropped.

Code: Select all

Updated: Toolchain on Windows now use VisualStudio 2022 and new MSVCRT for faster PureBasic programs and easier external libs integration.

What are the consequences of this? Will applications compiled with the new version of PureBasic be able to run on each supported Windows version (Vista, 7, ...) without the need of installing any MSVCRT runtime package?

Me neither. I don't think it ever actually was a thing, but seeing VS 2022 frightened some people (understandably).

To this DateUTC()-Thing. Can you add to the documentation, that #PB_CompilerDate returns a UTC-Time? I have convert this to local to see the correct compiling date... -> https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=83425

Hi Fred,

it seems compiling with the integrated debugger does not work

Code: Select all

MessageRequester("", "")

says cannot execute with the internal debugger try the standalone one

[Fred]

You probably have a mixup between compiler and IDE.

Code: Select all

Added: CompareStructure(), CompareArray(), CompareList() and CompareMap() functions
Added: CustomSortList() and CustomSortArray() functions to Sort library
Added: CatchPack(), PackEntryDate()
Added: #PB_Cipher_HMAC flag to fingerprint functions
Added: CreatePasswordHash() and VerifyPasswordHash() functions (BCrypt algorithm)
Added: DeriveCipherKey() to create a cipher key from a password (PBKDF2 algorithm)

Thanks Fred and Team

@useful
The documentation will only be updated with the release

What does this phrase mean then?

Code: Select all

[mk-soft]

It's probably a bit earlier this time with the documentary.

I'm currently testing under Raspberry.
Also here you have to disable the hardware acceleration, because of the webkit bug under raspberry wookworm

Edit
Remove code ...
Link: Fix Hardware Accelercation on Raspberry WookWorm

At time missing constant #PB_GadgetType_WebView

This beta has screwed me totally. I had to unistall all pb versions, deleted the appdata\roaming\purebasic, reinstalled PB 6.04 LTS and still refuses to compile anything saying cannot execute the file with the internal debugger.

It shows the right compiler in compiler settings but nothing works, any hints?
