Changelog

• IMPORTANT: This is an interim/experimental release. It includes significant changes, so some instability is to be expected.
• KNOWN ISSUE: Controls are not being destroyed properly by the form designer, causing big memory leaks (broken in this build)

I noticed that there are no longer any notices about memory loss in the Change log. Have those been resolved or are they just not being included in the reports any longer?

Resolved; Wayne mentioned that specifically on Discord.

Thanks Jon! Excellent news.

Edit: fixed the sentence

It's Mike Wolfe's newsletter, not mine :)
And excellent for MS Access, VBA and twinBASIC programming information.

Oh, oops. I've seen you post it so often I assumed facts not in evidence. You are not, in fact, Mike Wolfe :p
Totally agree, I anticipate receiving it each week.

Sorry, Mike. (if you read this)

I guess VB6 Programming is on vacation so just note the releases continue at https://github.com/twinbasic/twinbasic/releases (up to Beta 940 as of this post) and weekly updates continue at https://nolongerset.com/tag/twinbasic-weekly-update/

There's now Alias syntax support (e.g. Public Alias DWORD As Long -- must be outside of a Module/Class block in a .twin file), GoTo Definition support in the debug console, and automatic error reporting (opt in). Also CustomControls (e.g. Samples 6 and 8) are working again.

Thanks for the update. I hope you and yours have a fantastic holiday.

• NOTE: CustomControls are currently broken in this release (e.g. Samples 6 and 8)
• NOTE: Some regressions are expected due to the significant architectural changes in this release
• fixed: (regression) UserControls were exposing all UserControl base methods via AX interfaces, not matching VBx
• updated: Sample 4 VBE Toolwindow to account for changes above
• fixed: on ARM systems, the licence key for the IDE would have to be re-entered when switching between Win32/Win64
• fixed: attempting to Build very quickly after switching to 64-bit mode could prevent the licence being applied, leading to a nag screen being embedded in the executable incorrectly
• fixed: applying hot-change project settings could cause the IDE to override the settings of the next opened project in the same session
• fixed: spurious 'revealLineInEditor' messages in the DEBUG CONSOLE in recent builds [ FullValueRider, discord ]
• fixed: for an imported and unsaved VBP, App.Path would incorrectly return a path with a trailing backslash when run in the IDE [ Jim Mack ]
• fixed: some IDE errors as reported via automatic error reports
