• With other commercial compilers you get free updates (point release) but you pay for upgrades (major release) while with PureBasic you pay once and get any updates or upgrades for free
  For over 10 years Fantaisie Software had a fantastic track record

Seriously, if it's to write something like this, without any informations just think twice and hold your hand. Development of PureBasic is not discontinued, do you really think we will stop a 10 year more development like this, without any explainations ? The 4.60 version is on its way and should be released early in september, with some beta in between. It takes a while as i have a lot of docs to do for the new commands, and believe it or not: i don't like writing docs . Moreover we both have a daily job since the beginning of the year, so it means less time for PB. It's not the first time i handle both a daily job and PB (did that 5 years over the 10 years of dev), without big impact. We do our best to keep a correct pace of development, but sometimes it's difficult to get back on coding after a full coding day. That's life. I will probably get back fulltime on PB somewhen, so big changes will happen here.

What I have said before is still true: if I have to quit PB for any reasons, I will release the sources, either in Open Source form, or to a closed community which will be able to drive the project. We are not the kind of men which don't keep our words, so please, don't panic if you don't have news from us for a few time.

freak wrote:First of all, I don't think PureBasic can support two developpers fulltime, even if there are things like ongoing fees. The userbase is just too small for that. Secondly, I don't think I'd want to work on PB fulltime even if money was no issue. Its just not something I want to do all day.
