PureBasic 6.21 is out !

[miso]

Thank you! The 2d text fixes sounds great, I'm going to test those.
Quick conclusion: I had to adjust some of my old programs font/sprite sizes with the new updates, but everything else seems to be fine in this regard.
I usually work with opened screens, so I always have to render fonts to sprites first. So far so good.

Thanks!
My apps still working, but the WebViewGadget example code still crashes on Windows 11.

Hello purebasic team,

When you want to test with PB 6.21 x64 beta 4, the file "TerrainHeight.pb", shydome and showgui doesn't work as expected.

Thank for PB !

Wow, you fixed bugs from 2011. How are they selected for fixing? Some Hunger Games thing?

[kenmo]

don't forget about the IDE, I've submitted a couple minor bugfixes on GitHub!

I've also added the new network TLS constants to the IDE autocomplete and fixed the docs, seems Fred doesn't check the PR's section too often, or just forgot this time around.

I often forget those, don't hesitate to ping me in PM ! I will also add an entry in the final release note.

Basically we never silently delete reported bugs (by respect for the time spent to do the report) so some old one can still be around if:
- it's a niche bug (ie: having a small impact)
- it takes too much time to fix
- we don't know how to fix it

A few years ago, I decided as a personal challenge to get the reported bugs count below 100 for the compiler, all platforms included. It took time but I guess it should be the case once 6.21 final lands !

Beta 4 IDE loads super fast! Did something change?

It's the shadows. Remove it. Some of them requires shaders. (You can add them from their pb directory + parse3dscripts)

PS: cool features had been added, but not documented yet. Like texture shadows.

Yees! Thank you very much! you save me!!
