VibeBasic 0.14.0

Added

• A real Decimal type: CDec gives a Variant of subtype Decimal (14), a 96-bit integer with a scale of 0-28 as in VB6, instead of a Double that lost digits past about 15. Arithmetic with a Decimal stays Decimal, and comparison, Int/Fix/Abs/Sgn/Round, Str/CStr/Print, Format, FormatNumber, Write #, binary Put/Get and Dictionary keys keep all its digits.

Changed

• VibeBasic is released under the MIT License.

Fixed

• DatePart and Format honour firstdayofweek and firstweekofyear in week numbers (vbFirstFourDays, vbFirstFullWeek; days before week 1 count as the last week of the year before), and Format honours firstdayofweek for w.
• AscW returns a signed Integer, like VB6 (AscW(ChrW(65535)) is -1).
• Time$ and Date$ return VB6's fixed-format strings (hh:mm:ss and mm-dd-yyyy) instead of a Date.
• CDate("3 PM") and IsDate("3pm") accept a time with AM/PM and no minutes. DateValue(Null) and TimeValue(Null) return Null instead of raising error 94.
• Format uses the positive section when the negative or zero section is empty (Format(-5, "0;;zero") is "-5"), and keeps the sign of a negative number that rounds to zero (Format(-0.4, "0") is "-0").
• A database's RecordsAffected is 0 after SQL that changes no rows, instead of the count of the last INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
• Made macOS apps whose names have no Latin spelling get distinct bundle identifiers, so App.PrevInstance no longer mistakes one such app for another. A Make target ending in .APP no longer becomes Name.APP.app.
