[carlgundel]

Hey all,

I have just published our first RB v1.01 release candidate. If you are a paid customer and want to try the release candidate please send an email to me at [e-mail]

When the release is finalized we will also release a free version and upload it to freeware and shareware site all over.

Here are the latest changes:

Run BASIC v1.0.1 build 2.44 release notes - Nov 12, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------

-More fleshing out of Run BASIC documentation

-Added some more example programs and enhancement of others.

-Added code to transfer values from a program that uses RUN to start
another program. The values are: UserInfo$, UrlKey$, UserAddress$,
ProjectRoot$, ResourceRoot$, and #request

-Added NullColumn and NullColumn$ global variables which define the
values for NULL values returned from a QueryResultRow object. The
user can change this from zero and empty string respectively.

-Fixes a bug in the SQLite interface where a runtime error is thrown
if a SELECT is performed immediately after opening a database for
the first time without disconnecting and reconnecting.

-Fixed a bug in the compiler where SELECT CASE isn't followed by
END SELECT and the error isn't properly reported.

-Improved compile error reporting for malformed SUBs and FUNCTIONs.

-Changed the SHELL$() function to use the default shell instead of
the C shell, which isn't installed by default in many Linuxes.

-Fixed the Launch in Browser button to work in more Linux distros.

-Changed the preferences tab to set the login key to be 'login' if
the homepage app is set and the user forgets to set the login key.

-Enhanced the SMTPSENDER to allow the specification of sender
fullname using this format "John Doe<[e-mail]>"

-Fixed a bug with USING() function which wasn't being consistently
typechecked. The following would not compile:

a$ = using("##.###", 3.1)

-Fixed a bug which was causing applications to hang after half an
hour of inactivity.

I've had only a few requests for download links. Nobody else interested in testing the release candidate?

Hello Carl,

I'm fairly new at RunBasic and Liberty Basic, purchased both about two weeks ago.
I would love to try the new version I will drop you an email.

Respectfully,

Installs and runs beautifully on Intrepid Ibex Ubuntu & Windows XP PC. GREAT!!

I think some progs refer to images in the wrong directory- may need to edit path to eg mandelbrot.jpg in the tinyimagApp project.

Looking forward to more extensive play. Thanks Carl. Worth the wait...

Thanks Carl.
Works great..
Tried the Run Command. Like the way you can pass information using the UserAddress$, and UserInfo$ variables.
I've written several small applications, now it is possible to write entire systems. I like the way each program you run stays in it's own sandbox - even on the screen. When you clear the screen, it only clears it's section of the screen and any RUN programs below it.

Thanks for the effort..

Whoops, I forgot to put that particular JPG in there... again.
