Version 5.00 is soon to come

[Erel]

The work on the next major version has started.
As most of the advanced features are addressed with libraries, the next version focus is on optimizing the Basic4ppc engine.
Another important improvement will be a far better syntax checker.
This will allow finding more bugs before running the code.
An optional variable initialized check is added.
Structure variables (example: point.X, point.Y) will also be supported on the next version.
Many more features will be added.

It sounds gooood!
I am lookíng forward to it.

A few questions about v5:

-Any new commands ?

-New loops with check at the end?
DO
xxxxx
LOOP WHILE

and

DO
xxxxx
LOOP UNTIL

[Erel]

I can't tell you now all the new keywords but Do ... Loop While / Until will be supported.

Hi again.

Erel ... I'm very pleased that version 5 of B4PPC will be much much faster.
That's very important especially for applications running on Pocket PC.
It would be also very nice to add the possibility of using brackets in logic of IF statement.

For instance:

IF ((a=5) and (b=9)) or (c=2) then ....do something....

similar to VB or VB.NET.

Greetings,

[Erel]

I hope to add complex conditions as well.

Erel, you never cease to amaze me with how much good stuff you squish into Basic4PPC... I'm so jealous!

So good to see so much activity with Basic4PPC & it's forum.... fantastic work !!

Will multiple textline selection as remark be possible? I find this very useful when adding original codes or text (in other languages) at the end of the program. Now I have to begin every line with a '.
Also the use of a toggle wordwrap would be useful. On the PPC text and its buildup is much better to judge without the wordwrap, also shorter.
Thanks in advance and good luck with the next versions!
