Post by: RhoSigma on April 08, 2019, 01:36:51 am: Congratulations, many colorful flowers, and good luck for the future...

... not to forget a big "Thank You" to all main developers and contributors, who made this possible, for their everlasting passion and efforts put into QB64.

Also very nice, the new Web frontpage, it certainly will be an "eye catcher" for anybody searching for a modern BASIC language and stumbling over the QB64 website.

Post by: bplus on April 08, 2019, 10:11:33 am: Wow! to the new look of Forum and Home page that comes with v1.3 release.

Big THANKS! to all who keep this classic Basic updated, debugged, documented and discussed.

Post by: Petr on April 08, 2019, 10:14:13 am: I am pleased with the new version, I appreciate the work that developers have with it, especially enjoy the possibility of variable string lengths in user-defined types. I assume that the next version will fix the chronically known old bugs in old functions MouseMovementX / Y.

Thank you guys so much.

@Petr:
One day, one day. We know about that bug and we are not choosing to ignore it. I just haven't been able to sort it out and so it goes. I'm certain you've already found a clever way to workaround it.

Thank for reply, yes in two ways: using shared variables, which memorize old mouse positions, or using _DEVICES as show us Steve in his program.

Post by: RhoSigma on April 08, 2019, 12:53:49 pm: Hm, clicking on the (top) QB64 Logo here in the forum will bring us to the new www.portal.qb64.org now, formerly it was a nice quick-link back to the forum's main (boards) page, which could be used from anywhere in the forum to get back to the boards page. Would be nice, if this function could be restored.

I actually requested that the tag-line be linked to the page where the downloads were listed. https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1212.msg104300#msg104300

I was hoping the logo was separate from that, but I just did a quick check, and the tag-line and the logo are all one image. I can recall some javascript thing I did years ago that allowed for positional clicks on an image. In other words if I recall correctly, I think you can make more than one link to an image, by absolute position. I just can't remember the code. Too long ago. At my stage and age, that could be as far back as last Tuesday. :D

Post by: blametroi on June 12, 2019, 08:42:08 am: Hey guys, I know I'm late to the party but now that I've had a chance to install the latest and greatest I wanted to say thanks and good job. Some of my old code that I posted about several months back works now, so I'm happy :)

Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.

Post by: Fifi on June 15, 2019, 09:52:57 pm: Hello all,

What a nice change.

Congratulations for your fascinating work.

So, I just updated my multi tongue installation script for Linux boxes (baremetal and/or VMs) that is now available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian.

You can get it here: www.as2.com (http://www.as2.com).

It can install and safely remove QB64 1,3 stable as well as InForm Beta 8 and vWATCH 64.

However, I only got small warning messages when compiling InForm (70 unused variables) and vWATCH64 (2 unused variables) but both run well.

Please let me know if you need modification and/or enhancement to this script.

BTW, would it be possible to have, as an option, the QB64 compiler to be quiet when it find only such warning messages?

Once again, thank you for your terrific job.

Best regards.

Congratulations for all your work.
I am just a new member of this forum and
using version 1.3 i am not able to include from a fixed directory like
'$INCLUDE "c:\mylib\a.bi" (under windows)
in order to make a reuseable code in differents programs .
I also notice that CONST and TYPE END TYPE defined above (for ex in main) are no more transmitted to programs child (include) .
As I am a french man, what about à é è â ... accents.
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks to you.
Title: Re: QB64 v1.3 released! 32 -vs- 64 differences
Post by: doppler on August 01, 2019, 06:49:48 am: With the release of 64 bit version being more official.

Are the quirks still there ? Things that work fine in 32 bit, but won't in 64 bit.
READ and DATA statement I think was one of them. Or something like that.

Even way back 64 bit ran faster. Because of the quirks I discontinued using it.
