thank you for the new release. channel 4 ho!
i must confess, i have been hesitant to upgrade after 3.11. it forced me to update my debian bookworm system for libpng. otherwise qb64pe compiled successfully and works without problems. i also tried it on debian bullseye system with lxqt. also compiled successfully with one warning (sorry didn't record where) but no problems and works as expected.
i believe the help page for _FLOAT should say that it's possible to have an "F" as sentinel of exponent for scientific notation instead of "E" for SINGLE or "D" for DOUBLE. this is because the new _TOSTR$ function could return _FLOAT value as a string including "F" as is demonstrated in one of the examples on its page.
