Hi,

This new release of Gambas is mainly a bugfix release:

* Clicking on a virtual property in the property sheet does not crash anymore 
when the property help is displayed.

* The automatic completion can deal with multiple local variable declarations 
on the same line.

* The stack backtrace list width is saved correctly.

* Gambas projects can be safely compiled as root.

* Core dumps are ignored when making an executable.

* Draw.Circle() has been fixed.

* Focus management, Embedder, and the Window.Reparent() method have been fixed 
in gb.gtk.

* There is a new example that draws barcodes.

* Japanese, Russian and Swedish translations were updated.

Here is the full changelog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* BUG: Clicking on a virtual property in the property sheet does not crash
  anymore when the property help is displayed.
* BUG: The automatic completion can deal with multiple local variable
  declarations on the same line now.
* BUG: The stack backtrace list width is saved correctly now.
* BUG: Do not display the current opened project in the list of recently
  opened projects.
* NEW: Add a popup menu to the console window.

[EXAMPLES]
* BUG: Fix the DataReportExample example.
* NEW: New Barcode example made by Charles Guerin and modified by me.

[HELP]
* BUG: Makefile are not installed anymore.

[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix a bug in DateAdd() that made this function corrupt the next
  date to string conversion, which then lead to other bad weird things.

[COMPILER]
* BUG: The owner and group of all files generated by the compiler
  ('.startup', '.info', '.list', object files) are now set to the owner and
  group of the '.project' file. This way, any project can be safely
  compiled as root, without locking it for other users.

[ARCHIVER]
* NEW: Ignore core dump files when making an executable.

[GB.DRAW]
* BUG: Fix Draw.Circle center that was shifted one pixel to the top left.

[GB.FORM]
* BUG: Setting the Root property of the DirView control sets the Current
  property to the same value.

* BUG: The focus now follows the Z-order, as in gb.qt.
* BUG: Fix the XEMBED protocol support.
* BUG: Window.Reparent() now works correctly when embedding or unembedding
  a top-level window.

[GB.NET.SMTP]
* BUG: Try to use the fully-qualified domain name when sending the EHLO
  command to the SMTP server. That actually works only if the system domain
  name has been set to the DNS domain name.
* NEW: Do not use MIME parts when it is useless.

[GB.PCRE]
* BUG: Fix crashes due to bad uses of interpreter API.

[GB.QT]
* BUG: Fix the XEMBED protocol support.

  warning message anymore.
