Wow ...
The only problem is I won't get to play with all the new features before the world ends.
I'm puzzled though with the version number 5.10 (five point ten). Should it be 5.01 (five point one) ?

There's no rule or standard that says version numbers have to be incremental. Usually it's a higher step for more features or functionality. So, 5.00 to 5.01 would indicate just a small bug fix or two, but 5.00 to 5.10 means a lot of new stuff or fixes, which is the case here. And 5.00 to 6.00 would indicate a major change to the product, which really this release could have been, given multi-line statements and integrated IDE with form designer alone.

Using PureBasic since ~2002 quite under the radar ... my first forum post!
Many thanks to Fred, fr34k, André, Polo and all i've forgotten for this really professional product!
Future releases & backwards compatibility.

Would it be possible to have a compiler directive "#COMPATIBLEMODE_461" or "#COMPATIBLEMODE_500" so that old code files could be used un-modified; allowing new code to to be used elsewhere?

is very convenient!
So you can append test code to the end of each module. In the past, i used
and switched it to 1 if i wanted to test - and forgot very often to turn back to 0

Great!
