PureBasic 6.10 LTS is out !

[Justin]

Hi,

You can get the last version of the WebView residents, from this repo:
https://github.com/omegakode/PBWebview2

Scroll down to the readme, there are direct links there. The SDK is updated very often, every two months. I'll try to keep them up to date.
In fact the one that ships with this beta it's not the last one, you can get the newest one from the repo, i sent it to Fred but he was probably too busy to include it.You can also get the WebView2.pbi and build the residents by yourself.

There is also a separate file for the IIDs because they are not included in the resident:
https://github.com/omegakode/PBWebview2 ... w2_IID.pbi

Release notes from the last SDK:

This is still present in the latest beta. Just bumping for visibility.

Hello!
Looping streaming sounds appears to only play the sound once. So If you create a sound as streaming and then play it as #PB_Sound_Loop, the flag appears to be ignored as the sound only plays once instead of in a continuous, looping manner. This was tested on windows, I am unsure how other platforms react.
How to recreate:
Initialize sound system, I have tested flac and ogg.
Load either a flac or ogg sound and set the #PB_Sound_Streaming flag.
Play the sound and set the #PB_Sound_Loop flag.
The sound should loop, but as you'll see, the sound does play, but only once.
Kind regards,
A happy Pure Basic user!

That's why a proper bug report topic is needed or it can be easily forgotten

Was able to confirm the bug locally, so posted the OP's original post in a bug report topic

Wonderful!
Thank you Fred and team - that is a lot of great, great work!

[Lebostein]

What is going on in the Mac OS Bug section? Fred has fixed 98 % of all reported bugs!!!
This forum will be almost empty after the release of 6.10.

Just waiting for you to report some more

Maybe not a bug at all - on Windows WebView2 starts with 6 instances and memory used is 30-100 MB in total.
The same with (admittedly smaller) IE is few MB max and no additional processes.

Obviously Chrome engine uses process per page for isolation, but why do we get 6 instances on a single WebView2 control?

That means my app, which uses around 8-25 working MB under windows now uses 60-200...
The same code , only build with WebView or IE.

Another happy PB user.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the PureBasic team for creating such an amazing programming language. I've been using PureBasic for almost 20 years now, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

But !

Please add a flip sprite function to the sprite library in 6.10. That's the only thing missing for me

Seconding the sentiments echoed about PB.

I would recommend opening an official feature request topic. They're much easier to track that way.
