Did you go here? https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/...tag/v0.8.1

The downloads are listed under the 'Assets' near the end of the release notes.

WTH, over? I did find version 0.8.1 at github, downloaded, ran it, and the C++ complier settings "are not implemented," it says. Downloaded twice, tried to recompile using the source .bas file, but same result.

Tried on my laptop, same result. The C++ compiler settings show up in the options menu, but are not implemented.

I think I found the problem. You have a typo. It says, "Menu Item [C++ Co#mpiler Settings...] not implemented!"

Any simple fix we can type into the source code? Should be simple enough, no?

Yep! same here:


Hello$.bas did save and compile correctly.

Ugg, I'm sorry I think I missed a step in

./source/ide/ide_methods.bas

, I'll apply a fix and get a new version out.

Yep, that's embarrassing XD The PR to fix the issue is out, I'll make a v0.8.2 after it gets merged (might not be till tomorrow): https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/pull/111

If you don't want to wait you could try using the build from that PR after it finishes.
