What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· fixed important bugs introduced by recent pre-parsing improvements.
· fixed important bugs inside AND keyword when used as bitwise.
· Added new functionalities in Console module that will let developers to work with multiple console buffers. Programmers will be able to work using double buffering techniques avoiding annoying flickering when updating many screen areas.
On User Interface module:

· Improved UI_ImageCtx module.
· Improved XPrint module.
· On thinBasic SDK interface we were able to add a long waited functionality: possibility to call thinBasic script functions having parameters from inside thinBasic modules. For those developing thinBasic modules this will open a new big area of interaction allowing creation of specific events fired and handled directly from the script source code
· ... many more enhancements
