Title: IWB 2.5 compatibility of source code
Post by: Andy on June 12, 2013, 04:07:40 AM
Hi,

Could Larry or anyone advise me on the compatibility of source code written in IWB 2.09 with that of the new IWB 2.5 - in other words will I have to change anything in my source code?

I remember when I last upgraded some lines had to be modified to include "(" and ")" which took some time to do - not complaining, just wondering if I will have to do some modifications to my code when I download IWB 2.5.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Thanks,
Andy.

No changes are required in the source code.

LarryMc,

This isn't exactly on topic, but in my 2.5, when I click
on 'About', it indicates the IDE as 2.508b and the compiler
as 2.095. I this correct?

Absolutely.
The IDE and the compiler or two separate executables.
The IDE is 2.508b (b for beta).
The compiler used in the beta is the same compiler used in the current released version of IWB.
When LarryS makes some required revisions in the compiler to support the use of an ini file instead of the registry then the compiler version will change.
When he gets the compiler modified AND gives me a debugger that will work with the new IDE then we'll be able to officially release IWB2.5.

Thanks Larry,

Downloaded IWB 2.5 this morning, copied - but did not overwrite new lib and inc files and my programs compile without any changes needed.

Great work!
Andy.
