[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 3.19.0

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

Gambas 3.19.0 is now officially released!

The main features of this release are the following:

- Huge interpreter optimizations, making it faster than Python, Perl and 
Java interpreters in all benchmarks!

- Support for the russian 'e2k' architecture.

- Many enhancements to the IDE image editor.

- The IDE can generate AppImage packages.

- The IDE project tree filter is a lot faster.

- Add global shortcut to LinkedIn, following KDE merge request #1731 
(https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1731#note_768204).

- Support for computed GoTo and GoSub.

- New 'Dec()' and 'Base()' functions for converting integers in any base.

- The database component now can retrieve the contents of a newly 
inserted record, provided that the database driver supports it.

- The 'gb.desktop' component now uses the freedesktop portal by default 
if present.

- A new default icon theme named 'gambas-thin'.

- Better Wayland support in GUI components.

- A new syntax highlighter component based on definition files: 
'gb.highlight'.

- Add wayland support to the 'gb.media' and 'gb.media.form' components, 
and fix many problems.

- Add support for the 'dict://' protocol in the 'gb.net.curl' component.

See https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/release/3.19.0 for the full release 
notes.

The binary packages are normally available on the Gambas stable Ubuntu PPA.

And the master has switched to the 3.19.90 version.

Report any problem and enjoy it!
