Not really looking for new features, but it's coming up on 4 months since last release.
There must be a reason for a maintenance bug fix release somewhere here.
Or have we reached stability and maturity ?

The big problem with projects like QB64pe, they reach a point where "All is said and done." Without inspiration or insight you come upon stability. Fortunately QB64pe has too many tweakers, and they know what they are doing. So it's never going to be all said and done.
Maybe we should start an idea's thread on things to tryout. I can think of a few right now:
1. Slave Raspberry pi's to do the bidding of qb64. Don't know what ??
2. Slave or Cluster other PC's same as #1 suggestion.
3. Multi-threading and Multi-CPU spawning. Sub Function calls to isolate threads. <-- This could be a real nightmare done wrong. All use up 1 CPU task. AMD is coming out with 128 core monsters, also commanding a 17K each price. Wait five years they will be under $500.
Things could get stranger than my suggestions. Or be simplistic enough to suggest "Why didn't that happen earlier"
Let start a discussion, "Shall we play a game ?" Famous WOPPER quote.
Stock market software monitor 1000's of stocks, and generate also bids/sales. They all use 100's of the latest PC. Last years top performer is too slow this year.
