QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.7.0 Released!

[Steffan-68]

Agreed if I were on Windows. On Windows should always have a brand new directory for the latest version of QB64(PE); rename the old one or delete it (if disk space is getting short). Even if MinGW and its associates received no changes whatsoever.

But I haven't had problems with doing this on Linux because I make sure to be as updated as possible then run "setup_lnx.sh" right after unpacking the QB64PE archive.

Haven't had a problem yet Again, it may not cause any immediately obvious issues, but it's not a supported way to do updates and will eventually lead to a broken system, even on Linux.

Has something changed in the '_MEMPUT' command?

The IDE does not report an error, but the error 'Critical Error #300 Line:833 Memory region out of range' is output in the finished compiled program.

With QB64pe V 3.6 the program runs normally, now in V 3.7 this error occurs.

We're investigating It seems like an issue with the change from

zlib

to

miniz

. Your data doesn't successfully decompress with either library, but

zlib

would give you back the partially decompressed data and the correct length of it, where-as

miniz

doesn't give the length of the partially-decompressed data so

btemp$

has the wrong length.

Unfortunately

_Inflate$()

doesn't give an error if the decompression fails so you had no way to know. It really should error, but we probably can't make that change now so we're looking at a fix for

miniz

to give you the correct size. As an alternative to waiting, you code will work in v3.7.0 if you give

_Inflate$()

the size parameter, so

btemp$ = _Inflate$(btemp$, m.SIZE)

.

Great thank you ! Everything worked with 'btemp$ = _Inflate$(btemp$, m.SIZE)' .

Don't know what kind of problem some have to install a new version of QB64PE?
I simply created a BAT file that removed the old version for me, after which I only had to endpack the new one in the same folder.
