QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.3.0 Released!

Condensation is a known problem. The solution is: you drill small holes in both panes of glass, offset of course so that the wind doesn't blow through, and then there is no more condensation between the panes of glass. - Nothing to thank for!

If I wanted holes in my windows, I'd upgrade to Windows 11.

You know the funniest, and shortest slogan that company ever came up with was, "Windows, imagine a world without walls." The immediate meme response was, "If you don't have walls, who the hell needs Windows?"

Hm, nice But I think one of MS's best slogans was  :

Hmm, The C/C++ language comes to mind. How is that coded again...


fprintf( stdout, "hello world\n" );

Is it true you lose the list of recent files if you change the Compiler options? Unexpected! If so, probably not only this version. If not, my apologies I screwed up something else and lost that list.

Just tested and didn't lose the list of recent files when I changed options.

Any chance you accidentally hit the Clear Recent option with an errant mouse click sometime?

Yes definite possibility, after all the list disappeared. 

Wait, dah, ... I switched to v3.3 I had downloaded (twice) but had not done all the things I have to do to get a new version up and running.
I was fooling around with this code and dismayed by the jiggly and blinky ball animation. So I thought I'd try changing compiler options THEN I thought I'd try the new v3.3 after knocking out some of all the processes MS was running CPU 40% sound right?

Is this I nice steady solid animation?

OK I checked, the Recent Files list is gone from v3.2 so it did happen when I had older version loaded and was trying compiler options..

[SMcNeill]

The recent list isn't gone; you just haven't saved anything since downloading the v3.3, so it hasn't added anything to it yet.

[bplus]

No, neither versions had the Recent Files lists, v3.3 just loaded is to be expected.

That's OK, it's not like having to set up main disk with fresh Windows 4 times in a couple of months.
