Change log, since 1.12 (demo)
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Change log, since 1.12 (demo)
| ||
| I'm currenly considering buying BlitzMax but was wondering how much have been changed/fixed/added since the demo version was created, I saw the change log/histor for 1.22 and it was pretty impressive ;) Have anyone created a total list of changes since 1.12 till 1.22 ? |
| ||
| Well I was under the impression that there was a new demo 1.20, so why not download that and look. For my opinion although some things have been added, it mostly now that its not to be concidered beta anymore |
| ||
| If I under products wants to download then I get following URL http://www.blitzbasic.com/file/get.php?file=/Products/demos/BlitzMaxDemo112.exe so version 1.12 Maybe the demo is somewhere else!!! |
| ||
| You are right see below |
| ||
| only osx is updated ... Linux has none Windows is over half a year old and not compatible to current BM |
| ||
| Thats realy realy stupid of BRL |
| ||
| This confused me a bit ;) Update 1.22 was that not for all versions ? Including windows !!! If yes, then what is not compatible with the latest BM.. changes in the runtime ? |
| ||
| The code won't work with 1.22 as some commands and the GC changed, nor are modules built for 1.12 compatible with 1.16 and later. And yes the update was for all versions, but the update does not use the regular updates so this has nothing to do with the demo. |

And the Release notes: 1.22 Release ************ Another maintenance release - various compiler issues fixed. 1.20 Release ************ Mainly a maintenance release - lots of little bug fixes, tidy ups etc. Added some methods to String: StartsWith, EndsWith and Contains - see strings doc in language reference. 1.18 Release ************ BlitzMax now generates native x86 code on Intel Macs! The tools in 'bin' (compiler, linker etc) are still distributed as PowerPC apps, and rely on Rosetta (Intel Mac PPC emulation layer) to work. They run surprisingly well, but you may want to have a go at recompiling some of these - esp. MaxIDE - for improved performance. Universal binaries and/or cross compiling not yet supported. Important note: before using the Intel Mac version, you will need to perform a 'rebuild all modules'. This will probably result in several C compiler warnings which you can ignore. Fixed a bunch of compiler bugs, and added a '$w' type for 16 bit null terminated 'wide char' strings to complement '$z'. Use of these types is now restricted to 'extern' function parameter and return types. The compiler no longer allows you to create a pointer to an object via VarPtr (this was always supposed to be the case, but somehow it got overlooked!). Therefore, 'Object Ptr' (or ' Ptr' etc) is no longer accepted. This is because there is not any safe way to write to such a pointer without massively confusing garbage collection/detection. It is still legal to convert an object reference to a 'Byte Ptr', but you should be aware the pointer will only be valid while the object remains 'in scope'. Unicode support improved on Mac and Windows. Most MaxGUI gadgets are now unicode friendly, and the IDE should be too. 1.16 Release ************ Pub.ENet module added. GNet now uses ENet for low level comms. GNetAccept and all peer functions have gone. GNetAccept now built into GNetSync, and GNetConnect now just returns True/False. 1.14 Release ************ Big change: automatic object/handle conversion has been removed in Strict mode. This means code such as... Local image=LoadImage( "something.png" ) ...will need to be changed to... Local image:TImage=LoadImage( "something.png" ) ...in strict mode. Ditto for sounds, channels etc. This may affect quite a bit of code out there, but I believe it's the right thing to do (we really should have done this much earlier). The automatic object/handle conversion has been the source of a large amount of confusion and, quite probably, memory leaks. You can now perform explicit object/handle conversion using: HandleFromObject:Int( obj:Object ) HandleToObject:Object( handle:Int ) The first time you call HandleFromObject, you will receive a unique, per-object integer 'handle'. Subsequent calls to HandleFromObject will return the same per-object handle, and you can use the handle with HandleToObject to recover the original object. When you are done with the handle, don't forget to Release it or the object will leak. Releasing the handle will also cause any future HandleFromObject calls to return a new handle value. |
