Dear Santa Fred,

No, it's 5,2,1 at the moment. Didn't you get the internal memo? Ahh, sorry, the memo was compiled on 5.2.1 and you only run 3.94 and didn't understand it::(Dare2 wrote:Version 4 is on the backburner for the moment as Fred is working on version 5.
He likes to keep ahead of things.
Today is the last Christmas day, but we will see if he wants to release at 0:00 in the new year.akee wrote:Christmas is over and no sign of 4.

A little more serious...
PB4 is not yet ready to go in Beta stage, I guess you all know this by now.
This is not just an update....this is a huge compiler rewrite...
But as i see it now, Fred will be only a couple of weeks wrong with the "maybe xmas present" he said in the interview.
Everything Fred wanted to change and add to the compiler is done. (also lots of bugs added)
Now the Debugger, libs and IDE have to be reworked to work with that compiler.
Note: JaPBe will not work, so maybe a couple of ppl can start to study the code to make all necesary changes if you want to keep on using it. Changing the VD code to PB4 syntax took me only about 4 hours (24000 lines)
So get ready to start betatesting, this will be the biggest betatest in PB history, never before where there so much changes!
Akee, did those assorted loose women arrive yet? I had a hell of a time shoving them into the cardboard tube so I don't know what condition they will arrive in. Merry Christmas mate!akee wrote:(waiting patiently for my belated christmas present) :roll:
Damn you for deleting it, I spent a whole 2.8 seconds on it!! And what do you mean by (L)unicode??? I sent it as a monobrow code!!!Dare2 wrote:lol.
Ah, that memo was probably that unreadable (L)unicode thing I deleted.
maybe for the 7th of january (orthodox xmas)akee wrote:Christmas is over and no sign of 4.
