[AAraya]

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?

[fafalone]

Resolved; Wayne mentioned that specifically on Discord.

[AAraya]

Thanks Jon! Excellent news.

It's Mike Wolfe's newsletter, not mine

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

Sorry, Mike. (if you read this)

[fafalone]

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.

[jdelano]

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