QB64PE v4.0 is now live!!

[Kernelpanic]

@bplus - I just downloaded and extracted v4.0 -- I got this message after extraction:

My God, Walther!

Yeah I noticed the German looks very similar.

again thank you for the present near the end of the year.  happy new year!

if galleon really returned, he would have to be surprised with how much qb64 has expanded or bloated depending on your point of view.

i wish i could reproduce this to be able to show you something about it, but i discovered an annoying thing done by qb64pe 4.0.  with the ide.  i'm using debian linux, tried this with mate "bookworm" base, and with kde with the "oldstable".  when the user does agree to select a separate qb64pe installation to pick up the settings, it could set the screen size wrong.  so i feel thrown back to 3.4 or earlier.  for example, if my installation of 3.13 (because i never downloaded 3.14) opened first with the big window, after migrating settings to 4.0, i expect the ide of 4.0 to give me the same big window.  sadly i was forced to ignore the offer to transfer settings so i could keep getting the big window.

if the ide of 4.0 gives me the small window, i have to erase entirely the configuration folder it created, and also the older qb64pe installation.  then try again to run "qb64pe" 4.0 executable without arguments, say no to the offer to migrate settings.  then i have a big window like before.

also after i reject the offer and change some things in the options menu, the ide still marks the empty document as modified.  i thought that was fixed earlier.  i'm sorry for reading wrong in this forum sometimes.

one question.  is the dialog box supposed to stick up near the top?  to change the cursor size, window size and font from the options menu.

the ide also strips spaces at the end of a line it processed which is a hinderance for some situations creating ascii pictures but... that is a feature.

I'm having a problem with QB64pe 4.0 on the Mac. If I try to run older programs of mine on 4.0, the IDE compiles them, gives no error message and then nothing happens. Nothing. I've tried it with many progs. 

If I open a program that doesn't run and save it with a different name, then sometimes it'll run, but not always. If I try the "bad" progs on version 3.14.1, all is well.

This for example doesn't run unless I rename it.

Code: (Select All)

Option _Explicit

_Title " A Spinning Circle: bplus mod 2 of NakedApe"

Screen _NewImage(600, 400, 32)

Dim As Integer i, start, fini, stepper, top '        Playing with Aspects

Dim As _Unsigned Long col

$Color:32

Dim asp(1 To 90)

i = 1: asp(1) = 1 ' make an array of aspect values Note: asp(i) = Cos(_D2R(i)) will spin on the other axis

While i < 90

    i = i + 1: asp(i) = 1 / Cos(_D2R(i))

Wend

top = i: col = Red: start = 1: fini = top: stepper = 1

Do

    For i = start To fini Step stepper

        Cls

        Circle (_Width / 2, _Height / 2), 100, White, , , asp(i)

        Paint (_Width / 2, _Height / 2), col, White

        If _KeyDown(27) Then System Else _Limit 90

        _Display

    Next

    If start = 1 Then

        start = top: fini = 1: stepper = -1

        If col = Red Then col = Green Else col = Red ' flip colors on odd cycles

    Else

        start = 1: fini = top: stepper = 1

    End If
