Hello everyone,

- 8 january 2018: A new version has been uploaded on your account for Linux x86 and x64 to fix some nasty bugs, so please download the 5.46 again if you need it.

- final version is out and contain a critical fix for OS X 10.13. Thanks a lot everyone for all the testing !

- beta 2 is available with some more fixes

After the Timo's bug fix marathon, a new version is available on your online account and should fix quite some issues mainly on Linux. We also changed the way the gadgets are added on a GTK3 window to finally solve long time issue regarding gadgets bigger than their container. So don't hesitate to give it a try so we can stabilize that and have a great release !

Have fun,

The Fantaisie Software team

You can take a look in the linux bug forum

Can we call it the bugfix orgy?
Thank you very much, especially to freak - it makes good mood.
... and hopefully you'll give us some time to test it all out .

Do you mean I have to search for the latest post of every thread and take a look if it was fixed? Don't you have a small list you can post like the changelogs one can find in the help? Do you have a bug tracking system? A bug tracker seems to me a lot simpler than using this board. What do you mean?

No it's not, because nobody would check the bug tracker. Here, the bug can be commented and some workaround posted which helps a lot. About the list, it's just a time issue, we don't have it to do it everytime, you can check the [Done] topic if you are interested, or subscribe to a topic if you are waiting for a specific fix .

Wouldn't it be possible to write a little script that crawls through the forum and outputs every topic started with [Done] to a .html? Sort it by date, a little CSS for the eyes and we're done...

Meanwhile you could use google, but unfortunately there are many topics missing: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=a ... :y99,sbd:1

If you search for "Done" using the forum search function, nothing will be found, but if you search for "fixed" you will get a useful list:

But the big problem is not the listing of fixed bugs, but the grouping in which PB version the bug was fixed.

Maybe Fred can write in the title, as of which version the bug has been fixed.

Here's a Google search which gives the best results for fixed bugs:

Hello,

Many thanks to all the team involved, I work a lot with development on Linux, interestingly in these times I'm developing for Windows, but next week I start the tests.

Just one question, is there any forecast for the release of a possible 5.62 version encompassing these fixes? I migrated my development to version 5.6x due to some facilities of the new libraries.

Again thank you and congratulations!

For a changelog no bugtracking is necessary.

I assume that the dev team is using a versioning system (SVN?).
It would be possible to add comments to each commit. If the comment of the bug fixing commit is marked with a prefix "BUGFIX" (with short description and the link to the bug report in the forum), a little script could collect the comments between two release versions and generate a changelog.

...

This only works if Fred and Freak commit for each bug fixed.
Really time consuming if many are typo's or 1 line fixes.
I tend to commit after bunches of fixes and features and then make a commit comment that summarizes the changes.

if i start the IDE like this
~/purebasic_546_b1_x64_lts>./launch.sh
or
~/purebasic_546_b1_x64_lts/compilers>./purebasic
then i get "compiler isn't loaded" problem. if i start 'purebasic' from the filemanager by doubleclicking then it works.
ubuntu 16.04

another problem is with some project: if i try to run it then some debugger error occurs, i can see the red line in the IDE for fraction of a second, but then the IDE disappears/crashes. that's why i actually tried to run the IDE in a terminal like above. i can send the project via pm/email if interested, because i don't think i can reproduce this in a separate source. looks like a coding error, causing debugger trouble, causing IDE crash.
