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)
  • TIP: To download the release, expand the 'Assets' link below and download the 'twinBASIC_IDE_BETA_XYZ.zip' file
  • fixed: controls named the same as a base form method or property no longer take precedence [ Excalibur, private ]
  • added: warning TB0028 "control is overshadowed by base form method or property of the same name"
  • fixed: using nested packages containing AX controls could fail at runtime in built executables with deserialization errors [ RobWubs, discord ]

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