It is recommended that PB will no longer post the beta version. For example, full version 6.20, 6.30, indicating that the official ourselves have a bigger more rigorous improvement.
full version 6.3 * represents small improvements. When users have small requirements and expectations, you can choose it.

I doubt that Mr. gurj knows what a beta version is ...

I think you're right, they seemed to be referring to minor versions, like 6.21, 6.22, etc...
For what reason? I do not know.

I tested several source codes with PB 6.21 beta 7 (x64) on Windows 11, and did not encounter any problems.
Many thanks

[miso]

Thanks. My codes compile and work with beta 7.

[Quin]

I've compiled multiple large applications that use many internal PB libraries, as well as many API calls with beta7 on both Windows 10/11 IoT LTSC and macOS 15
No issues.

I just noticed the icons displayed with MenuItemImage are no longer a set size. Menubar dropdowns are showing varying size icons. Documentation still says the icons should be 16 x 16. I gather this is a new change.
The icon images in my programs are loaded with

Code: Select all

	Manualsicon:
	IncludeBinary "Stock\book-ico.ico"

and displayed with (example)

Code: Select all

If CreateImageMenu(0,WindowID(MainMenu))
	MenuTitle("File")
	MenuItem(31000,"Circulation",ImageID(Manualsicon))
	MenuItem(31001,"Search",ImageID(searchicon))
	MenuBar()
	MenuItem(#EXITBUTTON,"Close",ImageID(exiticon))
	MenuTitle("Edit")
	MenuItemImage(9272,"Backup",?mainmenubackupicon)
	MenuTitle("View")
	;MenuItemImage(9266,"Help desk message",?mainmenunotepadicon)
EndIf

Most of the icons are ico type. I tried ResizeImage but it returns an error saying the image type cannot be resized.
Is there any way to fix the icon size to 16x16?

Thank you Fred... and Chapeau !
I truly admire and appreciate your determination to quash those bugs.
It's getting harder and harder for them to hide...
Keep it up.

[Skipper]

Thanks, Fred! I, too, find your bug squatting frenzy quite impressive lately, well done!
