What's new in Liberty BASIC for Windows 4.5.1

Jun 19, 2017
  • Fixed a bug in the editor where the cursor would sometimes not clean
  • up after itself when typing some characters and then pressing the
  • arrow keys.
  • Added a new function idefilename$() which returns the full path of
  • the file currently under edit in the Liberty BASIC IDE.
  • Added a conversion of ASCII 160 to ASCII 32 when the Filter bad
  • characters option is turned on, in order to permit pasting of code
  • from some web sites.
  • Added a new function idecode$() which returns the code in the
  • Liberty BASIC editor window. This is useful for creating utilities
  • such as code formatters or parsers that can be installed as external
  • programs under the Setup menu.
  • Added source code coloring to the debugger code pane.
  • Added display of global variables when debugging a sub or function.
  • A checkbox in the debugger turns this on/off.
  • Added a Smaller font and Larger font button to the Liberty BASIC
  • editor toolbar so that you can change the font size quickly.
  • Fixed the bug where the Liberty BASIC editor would open off-screen
  • when Liberty BASIC is started. This would give the appearance that
  • Liberty BASIC was not loading.
  • Fixed the double-click behavior in the Liberty BASIC editor so that
  • variable names that have periods in them will be properly selected.
  • This improves the way that the new variable highlight works.
