Code: Select all

beta 1
---
- new PureBasic 64bit Windows version
- new PureBasic x86 version for OSX
- Ogre update, and many new commands (see below)
- Complete restructuring of the Debugger for better stability and support of the new platforms
- Added: OnError support for all platforms
- Added: Support for multiple Joysticks
- Added: Compiler warning support
- Added: Debugger warning support
- Added: Language support for Compiler and Debugger (only the compiler is translated in beta 1)
- Added: support for And/Or in CompilerIf statements
- Added: Compiler constant: #PB_Compiler_Processor (= #PB_Processor_x86, ..._x64, ..._PowerPC, ..._mc68000)
- Added: New integer type ".i" which is long/quad for 32bit/64bit respectively
- Added: Improved memory allocation for LinkedList and some other libraries

New features in the Libraries:
- Added: ArraySize()
- Added: CatchModule()
- Added: UseJPEG2000ImageDecoder() and UseJPEG2000ImageEncoder()
- Added: DesktopX(), DesktopY()
- Added: Semaphore commands (CreateSemaphore(), FreeSemaphore(), SignalSemaphore(), WaitSemaphore(), TrySemaphore())
- Added: Window events #PB_Event_WindowMaximize, #PB_Event_WindowMinimize, #PB_Event_WindowRestore
- Added: WindowBounds() to set the minimum/maximum Window size
- Added: #PB_Ignore support to AddStatusBarField()
- Changed: new style parameter for FontRequester()
- Changed: InitScintilla() parameter is now optional
- Changed: Hex(), Bin() have an optional type parameter (use #PB_Long, #PB_Quad) to change the behavior for negative numbers

Incompatible changes:
- Renamed: CountList() to ListSize()
- Renamed: ClearGadgetItemList() to ClearGadgetItems()
- Renamed: CameraProjection() to CameraProjectionMode()
- Renamed: #Byte, #Long, #Word etc to #PB_Byte, #PB_Long, #PB_Word (for StrU, Hex, Bin)

- Removed: CreateGadgetList() - OpenWindow() now calls this implicitly. UseGadgetList() can be used for API windows
- Removed: ChangeListIconGadgetDisplay() - use SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget, #PB_ListIcon_DisplayMode, Mode) instead
- Removed: StrQ(), HexQ(), BinQ(), ValQ(), IntQ(). Just use Str(), Hex(), Bin(), etc. instead, they now work with quad
- Removed: Backward compatibility behavior in ButtonImageGadget() (now works as documented since 4.20 only)

- Changed: AddElement() and similar LinkedList functions return the data pointer now (not the list header)
- Changed: OnError lib rewritten, with some commands renamed or remove (see below)
- Changed: RotateEntity(), RotateCamera() and RotateBillboard() x,y rotation axis
- Changed: The Joystick commands have an extra #Joystick parameter now. InitJoystick() returns the number of available Joysticks
- Changed: The ComboBoxGadget() "Height" parameter now affects the entry field height, not the dropdown box.
- Changed: Read now does not determine its type by the variable used, but as other commands with "Read.l", "Read.s" etc.
           NOTE: "Read x.b" will now read an integer, as the default type will be used for the Read, and then converted to byte!

Renamed and new OnError library commands:
  OnErrorExit()                - Exit the program if an error occurs
  OnErrorCall(@ErrorHandler()) - Call the given error handler if an error occurs
  OnErrorGoto(?LabelAddress)   - Continue execution at the given label if an error occurs
  OnErrorDefault()             - Uninstall any error handler so the default OS action is taken on further errors
  ErrorCode()                  - Returns the current error code
  ErrorMessage([ErrorNumber])  - Returns a string message for the current error or the given error number
  ErrorLine()                  - Returns the line number at which the current error occured
  ErrorFile()                  - Returns the source filename in which the current error occured
  ErrorAddress()               - get the Code address at which the error happened
  ErrorTargetAddress()         - get the Memory address for a memory access error.
  ErrorRegister(Register)      - get the content of a register at the time of the error
  RaiseError(ErrorNumber)      - Raise the given error and call the error handler or exit
  - Note: Resuming the code after the OnErrorCall() handler is no longer possible

Commands removed from the OnError lib wihout replacement:
  OnErrorResume()
  DisASMCommand()
  GetDisASMString()
  GetCurrentEIP()
  GoToEIP()
  ClearError()
  GetErrorDLL()
  GetErrorCounter()

beta 2

- Added ReadInteger()/WriteInteger()
- Added ReadPreferenceInteger()/WritePreferenceInteger()
- Removed CPU monitor from the IDE (the OS provides better tool)
- We added back IntQ() because of heavy performance degratation on x86 when mapping Int() to quad.
- InitEngine3D() now accepts an optional parameter to specify the dll path/name
