PureBasic 5.71 LTS is out !

[tj1010]

I have a 1700 line project that uses a lot of sqlite and cgi calls, and had no issues building in new version. Glad that security hole is fixed.

Great, thanks for the update!

I am a bit behind, just started using 5.70. The new HTTP functions with POST / HTTPS / Headers support makes Oauth interfacing simple!

Yes, I verified v571b1 with several app's(~20k, ~70k).
I need more time to compare performance with external sqlite3.dll, but it is loading.
(Fred said there should be no performance hit.)

It could be even a bit faster is you used a more recent compiler than us (VS 2013)

The String bug #Null$ is still not fixed!

Welcome new revision.

Hi.
It seems font scaling with the "Enable DPI..." option does not work as expected.
Best regards

It seems font scaling with the "Enable DPI..." option does not work as expected.

Sorry, writing just a remark like this does not help.
Can you post some short code that demonstrates the problem?
(Preferably in another section of this forum -- Fred does not like those posts in his announcment threads.)
Did the problem already occur in PB 5.70, or is it new in PB 5.71 beta 1?

Little John,
I put the answer here;

Hi Fred

Thanks for the new flag with UseSQLiteDatabase() as it solves my problem mentioned in another post where I tried to patch the SQLite library.

I'm not sure, but hopefully PB 5.71 implements SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext_(#DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT_PER_MONITOR_AWARE_V2) when setting DPI aware in compiler settings. If you're having problems testing because of no real hardware one can use VirtualBox icm Windows 10. Do not enable hardware acceleration (at first), enable 2 screens and set one resolution to a high one with the command line tool: VBoxManage.exe controlvm "%vmname%" setvideomodehint 4000 3000 32 and the other in Windows itself to something like 1024x800 . Then one can use scaled/non scaled mode (right CTRL+C) to test all things DPI related including moving from one monitor to another and window/control positioning/sizing stuff. The first thing one sees it that the PB editor icons don't resize at all when using a 300% dpi mode.

Edit:
You are right, i first assumed that it was released earlier.

I think so. I can't recall having read an announcement of version 5.71 beta 2 yesterday.
Thanks, Fred!

Nice, verified with 2 of my big app's.
