PureBasic Forums - English

I've got a few questions about the *old* PureBasic editor.

1) Where can I download the latest version of the PB editor source code?

2) Is the editor course code still under the GPL licence?

3) I have downloaded the source code from this URL http://www.purebasic.com/download/examples/Editor.zip but it will not compile in either v3.93 or v3.94. If there is no newer version of the editor how can I get this code to compile?

Thanks for your help.

Note: I have searched the forum for an editor download link, and I have found on (something like http://cvs.purebasic.com/ ) but it didn't work. I also know the version of the editor I have is under the GPL, but I just wanted to check, with the realse of a new editor, that this was still true.

The cvs is currently down but it should be up again in the few days. For now you can dl it here: http://www.purebasic.com/download/examples/Editor.zip (i've updated the package with the last IDE source). Please note than the new IDE isn't GPL'ed.

@Fred
here is the text of Neil Hodgson's license:

I think that the About box of the new Editor is missing Neil Hodgson's copyright notice.
Also Neil Hodgson's license file is missing in the latest beta package (or documentation).
If I'm not wrong that's all what needs to be done to be able to use it...


Take care

The doc aren't updated for the now, but we will add this for sure in the final release (the about box already have a mention).

But not the copyright notice...

So I'm thinking that the copyright notice should appear in the about box.
Something like:

• Scintilla is Copyright 1998-2003 by Neil Hodgson <neilh@scintilla.org>

Or something similar.

But like I said before I could be wrong.

No problem.
