the apocalypse!
#14
Wow, Steve, good reply!

So Phoenix is nefarious?  I knew I liked it here for some reason; just couldn't put my finger on why.

Phoenix is clearly not some usurpation of power or "official" status; it is an actively growing fork - one of MANY actively growing forks, hopefully - arising out of the ashes of "The Incident".  These forks are an indicator of the potential for resilience of Open Source software.

No one knows if any of the existing forks of QB64 will eventually dominate the scene so much that it becomes the defacto standard, but I'd be VERY wary of anyone calling themselves the "official" QB64 until a whole lot more dust has settled.  The "official" QB64 is either dead or severely wounded; time will tell.  In the meantime, QB64PE is a perfectly solid QB64, being actively developed by a group of skilled, enthusiastic volunteers.
