Hello,

This is a small bug fix release which should address the float regression bug and other minor oddities. You can grab it on your online account.

Have fun,

It seems the next realease is not in a stable status.
Maybe some more tests and additional betas are needed?

WTF? Beta 8 has just been released and you're complaining on the same day that more betas are needed? Where did Fred say the release after beta 8 would be a non-beta final version?

thanks :)

edit:
quite many of my programs have code like

Code: Select all

Define somestring.s
; do something like parse program parameters..
If Not somestring 
  End
EndIf
It seems I need to start making quite huge rewrites since now it errors to
'Not' operand can not be using with strings.
I know to use at that CountProgramParameters() but that were just an example :) and If somestring = "" is equally effective.

update:
thanks User_Russian for pointing me this http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =4&t=46179 (at later posts)

As i remember the last versions ... the next version is designed to be a
bugfix-only-version. There is a quote somewhere in this forum where fred
says something like: if you just want a stable version, try only the
x.x1 versions and skip the x.x0 versions
