create a tool and distribute to 400 end-users?

It is your tool what will distribute (not PB 4.0)
You should changed your ask like: 'Is my tool stable enough for 400 end-users?'

Hmmm... That's true! Maybe my poll is useless?!?

IceSoft:
You should not criticise other people's english when your own is not much better either.

techjunkie:
I definately think it is stable enough. Just look at the bugs forum. There was not much
reported since the beta10, and there is nothing really serious.
Unless some major problem comes around the corner, the next thing you will see is the final release.

I really doubt that IceSoft wanted to critizise techjunkie's english. He was just pointing out that the question was easy to misunderstand, and he barely pressed the "submit" button before someone came yelling "dont critizise other's english if you cant write yourself"...

The question IS formulated in a way that is easy to misunderstand.

Im not good at english either, but that doesnt stop me from telling techjunkie that someone out there might misunderstand it...

Oh no! But first you have to send it to betatesters...
...After a while you can ask the betatesters

I would say yes. BUT.... Test the tool well... I've been using PB4b11 for all my stuff now and luckily i havn't come across anything serious.

Of course! I will test it with different users and on different Windows configurations and versions.

Thank you all for your answers! I feel more convinced to use PB 4.0 instead of 3.94 now.

PB 4.0 DOES make life easier!
(You can quote me on that Fred)

It had better be stable enough as bits written in PB4 have been going out to some of my users since B9.

Mind you, I pretty much stick to a subset of the language, and am not advanced enough to push the limits.

You missunderstand me more again

I wonder if Trond has answered the poll?!? :roll: I'm pretty sure what his answer would be...

(My guess would be "yes". Depends if Trond thought 3.94 was stable enough, as the end user doesn't get the IDE and most of the remaining irritations were also in 3.94. So if 3.94 was stable enough, so is 4.00)

PB4.00 seems pretty neat and safe (within my bounds) to me.

Seems good enough but that all depends on the executable it creates, not necessarily pb itself

I've got a commercial application that is being shipped this week to several tier 1 customers, such as Toshiba and NEC.

I'm using Purebasic 4.00B11 and the latest alpha version of Visual Designer.

So... in my opinion, PB4 is ready!

Yes, it should be ready for production release and we don't plan to add anything new. Some long v3.94 issues have been solved in the meantime, so it should be actually better than the v3.94. Everybody is encouraged to switch and report anything wrong .
