QB64 V0.84 released (Windows only) - Dav - 07-06-2009 The QB64 compiler project updates once again by releasing QB64 V0.84. This is a major update as it fixes a critical IDE memory issue, several bugs, and adds even more Qbasic compatibility. This is a Windows only release. The next Linux version is not expected utill the V0.841 update planned 3 weeks from now. QB64 is currently a one-man project, by Galleon, aimed at making a Qbasic compatible compiler that will produce EXE's which will run perfectly on modern computers. It comes with a 'Classic' IDE, made in QB64, that looks and feels close to Qbasic. Most of Qbasic commands are now fully supported, making QB64 perhaps the most Qbasic compatible compiler there is. Even the well-known Qbasic game 'Wetspot' compiles, and is included in the QB64 samples folder. The next QB64 release is said to add support for the DRAW command, which in my opinion is the last major hurdle for QB64 to become a truly Qbasic compatible compiler. In addition to Qbasic compatiability, this QB64 V0.84 adds commands to allow the programmer to specify an ICON and the window title bar text for their programs.

Here is part of the QB64 Readme.txt concerning this release: Quote:Stability & QBASIC compatibility have been significantly improved. Many problems not listed here have also been addressed. - Dav Re: QB64 V0.84x released (Windows only) - ExtremePopcorn - 07-08-2009 Sweet! The icon part looks especially cool. Re: QB64 V0.84x released (Windows only) - Focus - 07-08-2009 Works well. Thank you!

Re: QB64 V0.84 released (Windows only) - Dav - 07-25-2009 The QB64 download has been updated once again, this time adding full support for the DRAW command! If you download QB64 earlier, grab it again to get the updated package - it's a bigger download, but well worth it imo. - Dav |
