A question: Recently there have been some ASM routines posted in the forum that appear to improve on some PureBasic functions. Are there any plans to convert the PureBasic functions to take advantage of these improvements (or have they been converted already?)?

Probably not as these uses extended instructions not supported on old processors or relies on checking the validity of the parameters.

Who are using older cpus anyway.

Thanks!

But i missing one more time the OpenGL support

I think Fred and Co hate OpenGL and platform independence.......

Well it does make 3x the work for him. But its kind of necessary for this type of product.

Hmm. There are still a lot of very compatible optimizations to be done.

Too fast...
i had at least 3 probable bugs for 4.0 to be posted, but i was at a travel. Tomorrow i'll post them after test with this new version.
Thanks anyway for the new release.

@Trond
i said usable, not perfect.

@Psychophanta
agree, i am of course happy to see an update, but it was way too early and no beta testing at all. hmpf

c ya,

lol.

When beta 4.00 was released some people acted like it was the final release and made life miserable. So perhaps having no beta is accepting the inevitable ..

Anyhow, a beta for a minor release is not really required, surely, and surely it is also better an improvement is out now rather than later?

Thanks Fred and the team and all the users

Thanks Fred for the update. Nice work and keep'm moving.

Hm, sorry for being not so enthusiastic, but I got an strange ASM-error - in 4.0 it runs fine.

Can't believe I missed the update hehehe.
Oh well, I see the update is working again.
When using PB 4 all I got from the update wizard was fix 1 for PB 3.94. Which I tried and messed PB4 up

Thanks for the update Fred

Edit:
How come the PB 4.01 update is 11.2 MB and the full PB 4.0 is only 8.21 MB ?
