How close are we to a stable v1.5?

and what still needs to be more fully tested?

[FellippeHeitor]

We're pretty close to releasing. Some new bugs that have been reported recently might not make it and may take a bit more to be addressed.

This is what's new/fixed so far: https://www.qb64.org/portal/development-build-changelog/

BTW, development builds page updated today (the automated process got tweaked, we're now storing dev builds in AWS): https://www.qb64.org/portal/development-build/

AWS = Amazon Web Services storage virtually unlimited Cloud storage.

OK so Constants with Suffix not worth the trouble to fix? or was that in Math Evaluator fix?

Getting the Alphabet Keyword List on first click, was that fixed and I just need an update?

[FellippeHeitor]

The constant bug the Qwerkey had reported some months ago got fixed. Did I forget to add it to the log? Just added it to the log.

What was that again?

Well the constants with suffix just came up again recently, as I recall it's fine (specially functions, non literals) but problems crop up with suffix symbol on variable, gone, no problems when suffix removed or no suffix to start.

Help Menu > Keyword Index > gets you a blank Help window with Alphabet Tab next to Help tab
Click Alphabetical all you want now and nothing happens.
Click Help again then chose either Help "Tab"or Alphabetical "Tab" and we are OK.
This might have been fixed and I just have to update keywords in Help, I will check now...

Oh I thought there was an option to update the Help, OK it's in the Help Menu off IDE, ...10 minutes!

[FellippeHeitor]

I'll look into that, I didn't recall it was a thing. Thank you.

[bplus]

Yes, I just updated all Help pages and the problem as described remains but this is version 1.4 you will have to confirm for dev v1.5

[FellippeHeitor]

Just fixed it for v1.5. You can grab the latest dev build to help test the new features out now.

[bplus]

OK which change are you most leery about?

[bplus]

Latest Dev version:

Oh we aren't going to shout out the keywords anymore!? (see attached)  I missed that announcement.

Confirmed the Help thing is fixed, one or two less clicks to the Keyword Index.

PS Oh wait... all those rounded up, I was expecting they would round down, 1, 2, 3.
OK they actually do round up or down.

[bplus]

New Folder button nice, I am going to need for 1.5 because these ReDim's aren't going to work in old Bas file Folders.

Ctrl+K is going to nice, if I can remember the Combo, no more lookup of the arrow key numbers.

Say is there a place that tracks all the Short-cut keys?

====>  Hey the ASCII Chart and the Math menu items off the Help Menu Item are missing!

[FellippeHeitor]

OK which change are you most leery about?

• CONST fix (can you still break it?)
• SEEK has to reset EOF() fix (after a file is read in INPUT mode until the end, using SEEK to another position within the file must reset EOF())
• New DIM/REDIM/STATIC/SHARED/COMMON/TYPE syntax (did I miss any detail?)
• New CamelCase internal keywords (did I miss any keyword? - although you should notice some will remain all caps because they are initials, like EOF, LOF, RGB)
• Find and Change dialogs (Search menu) now allow you to ignore text in comments and strings - or search exclusively in comments or strings. (is there any corner case that gets it to not work properly?)

CamelCase comes enabled by default but can be disabled via the Options menu. You gotta agree it does look much calmer (since it's NOT SHOUTING ANYMORE) and it does look more elegant too.

[bplus]

Yes I like new Camel Case.

@FellippeHeitor  did catch my note of missing ASCII chart and Math off the Help menu?

Update: Well I try another update of the Help pages maybe that will fix it.

Oh hey! That's a new dialog box, prettier than the list on words running down the screen earlier today.

There’s a new Tools heading in the menu.
