Hi, Here you can download a non-official pre-release of Gambas 3.5.1:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gambas/files/gambas3/gambas3-3.5.1.tar.bz2/download This releases mainly tries to fix the packager, but there are some bug fixes and new features related to the bug fixes too. Here is a summary of the changes in the packager: - The packager now uses the current Gambas major & minor version as minimum version for component dependencies. - If a project uses gb.gui, then the packager will create two extra meta-packages: one for Qt4 support, the other for GTK+ support. The Qt4 meta-package depends on the application package and the gb.qt4 binary package. The GTK+ meta-package depends on the application package and the gb.gtk binary package. If OpenGL is used, the corresponding GUI opengl support packages (gb.qt4.opengl and gb.gtk.opengl) are added to the dependencies. - The Ubuntu package naming convention is respected: i.e. there is the "ubuntu" string in the package name. - The 'gb.desktop.gnome' component is now visible and explicitely checkable, so that it becomes an explicit dependency when creating a binary package with the packager. - You can specify the package version number: this must be used when you make and deliver several different packages of the same software release. Here are the new features: - Enum.Stopped is a new property that returns if the current enumeration has been stopped. - OPEN STRING is a new instruction that allows to use a string as a stream. Writing to it appends the written data to the end of the string at the moment. - Closing a string stream returns the data written to the stream as a new string. - WRITE behaves the same way as READ on a memory stream, when dealing with a string: it writes a null-terminated "C" string. - OPEN MEMORY and OPEN PIPE are synonymous of the MEMORY and PIPE instructions alone. - FileChooser now has support for uncompressing 'zip' files, provided that the 'zip' utility is installed on the system. - If 'gb.gui' cannot load a GUI component, it tries the other one. If nothing works, it aborts. - The default SDL font file is renamed as "_default.ttf" to prevent packaging conflicts. - JSON.Decode() now takes an extra optional argument indicating that keys having a null value are taken into account inside objects. - JSONCollection is a new class that represents a JSON object whose some keys are associated with a 'null' value. Please test it and report! Let's make 3.5.1 a quiet release. :-) Regards, -- Benoît Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
