Add

Function Tokenizer_GetNextToken

Tokenizer

Add

Introduction of new module: Tokenizer. With the functionalities included into this module scripts will be able to parse string buffer into single tokens like delimiters, strings, quoted strings, number ...

2006.09.01

Core

Improve

Possibility to use national chars in declaring variables or keywords aliases (ALIAS)

Psch

Core

Fix

Fixed GPF when releasing memory associated with VARIANT data type

Core

Fix

Fixed memory consumption when inside thousands of loops calling functions. Still under investigation.

Console

Fix

Console_ReadLine had CRLF at the end. Removed.

thinAir

Add

Introduced new options to control whether console scripts should be executed in a separated shell. This is useful to see output results when scripts does not contain a waitkey or other stopping option at the end.

thinAir

Add

Undo/Redo on task bar

Core

Fix

Fixed an abnormal memory consumption when using string expressions. A temporary buffer used during string assignments was not cleared at the end of the operation doubling memory needed to perform the last operation

Core

Improve

Removed thinDict.dll library.

thinDict.dll was responsible for allocation/deallocation of all internal data (hash tables, data dictionaries, local and global variables, keywords, data types, ...). We have completely rewrite this code and incorporated directly inside thinCore.dll.

Core

Improve

Improved parsing compatibility: now SUB/END SUB are handled inside scripts. In reality all SUBs are considered internally as functions returning LONGs

2006.08.23

Core

Improve

Script execution speed increased by 5% to 15% especially for numeric expressions

Core

Fix

In some cases memory allocated for function local variable was not released

2006.08.22

Core

Improve

INSTR improved by adding a new optional parameter that will allow to search nthOccurience of the match string

Psch

Core

Add

Functions MIN$ and MAX$

Psch

Core

Add

Functions MIN and MAX

Psch

Core

Fix

Multiple IF / ELSEIF causing problems

Psch

2006.08.21

Core

Improve

SELECT CASE not handling direct UDT elements comparison. Now it will work on numeric and string elements.

Psch

TBGL

Improve

Petr has updated TBGL help file: thinbasic_tbgl.chm

TBGL

Improve

Petr has updated his thinBasic OpenGL integration library TBGL to version 0.1.7.0

Fix

An error in ELSEIF introduced in this preview version now fixed

2006.08.10

TBGL

Fix

Fixed GL include file plus some script examples

Psch

Core

Fix

Unary operation + not handled correctly

Core

Improve

DECLARE statement improved. thiNbasic now check presence of external library and function inside external library immediately before start parsing parameters. This will ensure function is ok before calling it. Also debug message box removed and a more clear runtime error will be generated.

Psch

SMTP

Fix

Fix SMTP_SetOption function. Fix SMTP_SendEMail function. Fix SMTP example

thinAir

Fix

Some keywords syntax colored by mistake due to error in APP_ListEquates function.

Psch

Core

Fix

APP_ListEquates function was also listing script variables and not only equates

Core

Improve

When declaring variables using DIM or LOCAL or GLOBAL, data type can be omitted (AS clause). If no data type specified, VARIANT will be assumed. So:

Dim V1, V2, V(10)

is now a valid statement to be used to declare 3 VARIANT variables.

Core

Fix

Fixed execution of obfuscated scripts not working when thinBasic changes version.

Core

Fix

Fixed colon and semicolon delimiter presence inside scripts. Simply ignored for the moment.

Psch

Core

Add
