PureBasic 6.10 LTS is out !

PS: Who can do a current interview with the makers of PB? What is the current situation? Who is involved? What does the future look like? It would also be interesting to know how many licenses have been sold since the beginning and how many new users are added on average each year. A survey among PB users would also be interesting. How many use it for Win/Mac/Linux? Do they use it privately, professionally or do they even sell the software they create?

Is there a way to support the project financially independently of buying a license? I purchased my PB license 21 years ago. I'm starting to feel guilty about having paid for it just this once...

Why not buy a licence and donate it to some young folk to get in touch with PureBasic?

A subscription to SpiderBasic is perhaps one option, because it then generates very valuable recurring annual revenue for PureBasic's development company. If that could be billed to a credit card automatically, it would be really convenient and a dare say many of us would be happy with that.

I'd be very happy if SpiderBasic subscriptions could auto-renew. I paid for a year of SB last December, and plan to do so again this year. Great tools, great community, and support the amazing team

Hey, nice thought. Maybe I can think of someone in my family...

I like Purebasic

I haven't had to write a complete commercial application for a long time, but I'm staying active.

Yes, keep your brain in the game!

Your posts are very informative and appreciated.

That's what I always said...

2024-03-22: beta 9 is out for testing, it will be hopefully the last beta before final ! It brings the following changes and bug fixes:

Code: Select all

Optimized: SoundVolume() and MusicVolume() changed from integer to float so fractional values are accepted for better precision.
Changed: removed 'link.exe' from the Windows package and went back to 'polink.exe' (link.exe is not freely redistrituable). If 'link.exe' is found on the PATH it will still be used to have a bit smaller executables.

Bugfixes for this version:

• Windows: [Done] SetDropCallback(@tree_OnDrop())
• Windows: [Done] mod sounds not working 6.10b6
• Windows: [Done] 6.10 b8 Edge WebGadget scroll position reset
• Windows: [Done] Text not longer readable in form PB6.10 b8
• MacOS: [Done] ListView/Editor/Text: SetGadgetFont(Gadget, #PB_Default) don't reset the line height / font size
• IDE: [Done] No Autocomplete Popup
• IDE: [Done] PB v6.10 - PB-IDE Dialogs Gadget Positions on Raspberry

This list was created automatically. All updated bug threads from the date of the last final version have been determined.

Nice!
After installing MS VS 2022 Community Edition I have the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx64\x64
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,412,104 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx64\x86
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,412,096 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx86\x64
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,070,088 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx86\x86
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,070,088 link.exe

How do you differentiate the different link.exe's to use if they are all on the PATH statement?
Can I copy the correct link.exe into my PB install folder, C:\PureBasic-x64\Compilers\vc\link.exe?
polink.exe is 1 level higher.
