Re: twinBASIC programming - Beta releases
If Wayne can change his mind. Let community members do the bulk of the IDE menu feature development.
Why is vscode so easy to use these days?
Modern idE, if it is not open source, it will become very difficult to be accepted.
Suppose twinbasic opens the source code for 50% of its functions.
Thousands of plug-in features written by community members.

- IMPORTANT: This is an interim/experimental release. It includes significant changes, so some instability is to be expected.
- KNOWN ISSUE: UserControls from the ACTIVE project will not appear correctly in the form designer in this release (they are purposely disabled until next release). Packaged controls, such as VBCCR will work.
- KNOWN ISSUE: Menus currently not appearing in MDI Forms (broken in this build)
- KNOWN ISSUE: 'Scale*' properties are often not settable in the IDE property sheet (broken in this build)
- KNOWN ISSUE: Setting Width/Height via the property sheet often does not work correctly (broken in this build)
- 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
- WARNING: there are known memory leaks in this version, so memory usage will be higher than normal
- improved: now enforcing stricter constant expression evaluation rules to prevent compiler hard crash in some instances when evaluating invalid code (e.g. when evaluating array bounds) [ jovick, discord ]
- fixed: file number prefix (#) was not supported in InputB() [ jovick, discord ]
