Re: TwinBasic
As I don't use Basic at all, I don't have any skin in this game. However IMO design by committee (or voting) is not good. Look no further than what happened to Fortran from v77 to v90 (and some of the C++ decisions)! IMO it's preferable to have a 'controlling mind' in charge of a development that considers all proposals but ultimately makes decisions.

Re: TwinBasic
@Arnoutdv, thanks for taking a look.
Unfortunately as we release so frequently, the files are often flagged as suspicious by anti-virus vendors since they are considered new/unseen. I can assure you there's no virus or malware, but of course I appreciate that you might not have the ability to override your anti-virus in a corporate setting.

You don't need to install them all :-) Usually, I do aim for one release per day, but sometimes I'll release ad-hoc if I've got a fix for a particular issue that someone is waiting on.
