Hi !
Is there any precise date to the implementation of doubles ? I know this has been asked for years and that's why I'm reposting it : we've been waiting years for that, and the only answer we get is that it will be in PB4.0...
Wouldn't it be possible to have a precise date ? doubles are important for me (and for everybody I'm sure), they shouldn't bee in the bottom of the todo list, for me it's way more important than the ogre update (which is not useful now there's an irrlicht "wrapper", as irrlich is a lot better than ogre )
Sorry for being exigeant, but it's boring (and slowing my program) to use workaround for doubles

Agreed. This seems to be a big gripe with a lot of users. I would love to see this too but i guess its up to Fred. Maybe if we buy him a nice fruit basket and sing to him he may add it sooner than PB v4.0 (Which could be in 1.5yrs time).

We can't tell a date when we don't have one, so the answer is still the same: for v4. It shouldn't be that long now (probably less than 6 months).

That's what I wanted to hear I know you haven't got date, but a prevision is nice, now I've got an idea of the date of the release

Sweeet! Halloween/xmas relase!

I would like to get every thing FreeBASIC already has:

• variable-arguments in procedures
  function overloading (procedures)
  thread-safety (especially strings)
  doubles (and all functions for it like val64() etc.)
  ubyte (and all functions for it ...)
  uword (and all functions for it ...)
  ulong (and all functions for it ...)
  export functions in exe (needed for software that works like glade)
  generate real static libs
  import real static libs
  redim preserve arrays
  ubound (for arrays)
  lbound (for arrays)
  Option Explicit (can be very helpful)
  Macros
  up to 2gb strings
  etc.

and of course every thing that will be implemented in FB until PB4 is out

... but nobody listen to me anyway

fsw: I hope somebody have read you, because your wishlist is VERY GOOD !!!!
