QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.3.0 Released!

[bplus]

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?
