[Gambas-user] Gambas 2 version 1.9.90

[Benoit Minisini]

Hi,

The last svn revision of gambas changed the version number to 1.9.90.

That means that:

1) You must do a ./reconf-all; ./configure -C before recompiling everything.

2) The first release candidate of Gambas 2 is coming :-). Before, I will first 
release 1.9.90 so that you can test it a little before making it public. If 
no big problems are found, the 1.9.91 will be released as Gambas 2 RC1.

Important notes:

There is a big change in the last revision: the module symbols are now private 
by default, and not public as in VB. This will break the projects that used 
this feature. But I added a new project option to enable the old behaviour. 
This option is automatically set when you create a new project and you 
request Visual Basic compatibility.

The other big change will be the last incrementaion of the bytecode version, 
that will force you to recompile all your projects. Sorry for that!

I plan to make some articles on news site about the release candidate, in the 
hope of attracting more testers^W people. Maybe I will make some sort of HTML 
slides on the web site and provide links to them in the articles. 

Any help and suggestion about that is welcome!!!

Regards,
