if I have a program XXX compiled with version 3.who.knows and the program works and does what it is supposed to do without lacks and errors...
Then tell me, WHY should I ever want to recompile it with a new version of QB64(PE), what benefit I could expect from it? Does the progam magically do more than it was supposed to do?
What a waste of time even making a program for that updating process, really.
Only legitimate reason I could see to recompile a working EXE would be as a stress test to make certain that nothing broke between versions, so if others downloaded your stuff, you'd know they could compile it without issues.
We tend to share the source for things on the forums and all, and not the EXE after it's compiled. It's nice to know that what you're sharing still works for everyone after each update.
Maybe, occasionally, there could be an improvement in execution speed, even though the result is the same otherwise?
Of all the places on Earth, and all the planets in the Universe, I'd rather live here (Perth, Western Australia.)
