Thanks PB Team and PfShadoko for the updates and bug fixes. I'm excited of the possibilities allowed with the HID and ScreenGadget libraries. Being able to use gadgets on both 2D and 3D screens is very convenient. I hope to program peripheral devices in the future, so having the HID and SerialPort libraries is very useful also.

The HID(raw) library now also works with the low-speed device with the Raspberry Pi OS and P400.
You can ignore the error I described here:

In MacOS, an application is created containing two versions of the executable file with the names App and App.strip. Do really need 2 versions of a file?

Another excellent update.

What data return function IsHID()? If it is not a pointer to a structure hid_device, then how can one get it?

Just wanted to drop by and state my appreciation for this upcoming release! I got a software development job and haven't been touching pb as much these days, but it's a great hobby tool and I love the new InputRequester flag

Relatively new to PB and looking at the new ScreenWindow and gadgets. It looks like these build on the 2D screen library, and as such use OpenGL. Is it possible to open an OpenGL gadget on top of a screen? If so, how do you manage the OpenGL context switching?
(Yes, I have a reason for doing this... I want to pass the OpenGL context in a positioned gadget to an external library for it to draw while I'm managing the enclosing UI, which will contain other "portal" gadgets (eg webviews) as well).

[User_Russian]

Tested the HID library in the project FM tuner for PC (text is on russian language, use google-translate) on Windows, Linux and MacOS and it works stably.

Thanks for the feedback !
