"[Done]" and "Fixed." are my favorite part of the bug forums. :)

Agreed, with both of you. And big thanks to the PB team. Is next month the 11-year PB anniversary?

Yup, thanks, really.

As I said before I would exchange a new feature for a bug fixed every day.

Thanks from me, too.

I'm also one who generally prefers bug fixes over new features BUT the canvas gadget is the best new feature (for me) I've seen since I started using PB :D. I'm now using canvas gadgets for graphical displays, owner-drawn sliders, and most recently for owner-drawn checkboxes that enable me to color the text and background. What makes the canvas gadget so powerful is the range of event types and attributes, as well as it being available for 2D drawing. Brilliant!

Yup, the canvas gadget is really a great addition.

For me the best things introduced in time were:

EnableExplicit (I bought the PB after this was introduced, I would never be able to use it without)
autocompletion for the fields of structures and interfaces
Lists,Maps,Arrays inside structures
the project management
the Purifier (amazing tool)
the Canvas Gadget

looking back you can really appreciate how much work has been put into it by so few people.

Thanks guys, and please keep up with the current bug-squashing attitude !

Yes, the development of this program has really come a long way since I started with 3.93. Some things I like:

-Macros, they really improve performance and simplify code
-Unsigned data types for byte and word (though I'm still "longing" for one more... :D )
-Procedure addresses in datasection for oop-like coding
-Threadsafety
-More robust math library
-Very robust and fast 2D drawing library
-Maps
-Native encryption with AES
-Robust Process lib
-Native support for SQLite and PostgreSQL
-Dynamic arrays,lists and maps in structure (impressive achievement!)
-And of course, the new but rapidly becoming beloved, Canvas gadget

On the PB Website the last entry is on about 08.2010.
