What's new in QB64 v2.1?
General
- The GCC compiler has been updated in a manner so that the latest version will be used when releasing a new version of QB64; for example, this release utilizes GCC v12.1.
- The audio subsystem/libraries have been replaced; meaning that it is no longer necessary to be restricted to a LGPL license simply by using BEEP.
- The command-line opening of a .BAS file has been improved to allow for opening from command-line outside of the QB64 folder without having to specify the full path.
Run/Compile
- When pressing F5 for an Untitled BAS file, the program is compiled and executed; upon exit of the program, the executable is cleaned up (automatically removed from the file system).
Help
- The help files have been migrated from proprietary .txt files to the commonly used markdown (.md) format.
- The help pane now displays the full name of the document that you are currently viewing; this means that the breadcrumb feature has been deprecated (removed). However, pressing the BACKSPACE key will navigate the pane to the previous help document.
- The view on wiki button has been deprecated (removed).
- The wiki related menu items in the Help menu have been deprecated (removed).
Other
The Math Evaluator expression evaluator has been improved.
