[Gambas-user] gambas 0.60

[Benoit Minisini]

Hi people,

gambas 0.60 is out. You can download it on the web site.

Here are the changes :

- The IDE component explorer has been replaced by an help browser based on
  the Gambas Wiki made by Rob.

- The internal component management has been rewritten. Every component
  information is stored into a text file named 'components' located
  by default in /opt/gambas/lib. This text file contains component
  names that can be translated.

- Logically, SuSE 8.2 users are not obliged to create a symbolic link
  on libqt-mt.so.3 anymore. They just have to pass "--with-qt-libraries=
  /usr/lib" to the ./configure script. Tell me if it works.

- Files can be watched like Processes. Be careful, this implies a p-code
  incompatibility : older projects that use the OPEN keyword must be
  recompiled.

Here is an example of how to watch a serial port :

'-------------------------
' Gambas module

PRIVATE hPort AS File

PUBLIC SUB Main()

  OPEN "/dev/ttyS0" FOR READ WRITE WATCH AS #hPort

END

PUBLIC SUB File_Read()

  DIM iByte AS Byte

  PRINT "I can read at least one byte on the port"
  READ #hPort, iByte
  PRINT iByte

END

PUBLIC SUB File_Write()

  PRINT "I can write on the port"
  WRITE #hPort, 42

END

'-------------------------

Enjoy it.
