• 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)
• TIP: To download the release, expand the 'Assets' link below and download the 'twinBASIC_IDE_BETA_XYZ.zip' file
• fixed: changing LAA or DEP project settings would force full closure of the open project [ fafalone, discord ]
• fixed: using 'Break on all errors' project option would trigger on some handled errors in AX control wrapper implementations [ XYplorer, private ]
• fixed: Image control with Stretch=False did not auto-resize to the set picture dimensions at runtime [ Kimpos, discord ]

A workaround for the memory leaks is to routinely restart the compiler (not the whole IDE), until fixed.
