Build 349 is ready - Includes Mac version!

[Carl Gundel]

Come and get it.  Sorry for the delay.  The Mac version was a little trouble.

  www.libertybasic.com/lb5-349.zip


Build 349 Notes
==============================================================================

- For Windows use the lb5alpha.exe file.
- For Linux 32-bit use the lin32-348 file: ./lin32-348 lb5alpha.im
- For Raspberry Pi use the rpi-alpha file: ./rpi-alpha lb5alpha.im
- For MacOS double click on the lb5-349 app. You may need to press and hold   right click to popup a menu and use Ctrl+Open to overcome permissions.

Fixes:

-MacOS version now included!

-Glitches in syntax coloring greatly reduced.

-Disable all the preferences in the preferences window. We will enable each
of them as they become functional.

-Grid control not redrawing immediately on reload()
Note: Mouse movement over the widget causes a refresh.
Fixed

-The listbox control now does not deselect by default when clicking again on
the current selection. Instead you can turn this feature on and off with:

#win.hnd toggling(1) '1 to turn it on or 0 to turn it off

-Added httpget$() function

-Increased default double click interval to 400ms to remedy filedialog
navigation problems in Linux when trying to dive into folders.

-Added support for the following new format commands for the texteditor.
CLS() - empty the control
LINES() - return the number of lines of text
LINE$(index) - return the line of text at index
MODIFIED() - return non zero if the contents have changedams. ^0 ].
SELECTION$() - return the selected text
SELECTALL() - select the entire contents
ORIGIN(col,row) - scroll the contents to col,row
SETFOCUS() - give the focus to the widget
INSERT(var$) - replace the selection/cursor with the contents of var$
LOCATE(x,y,w,h) - reposition the widget
ENABLE() - enable the widget
DISABLE() - disable the widget
SHOW() = make the widget visible
HIDE() - make the widget invisible

-The "size" graphics command has no effect when using "set"
Fixed

Oops I see that I made a mistake in the documentation.

Should read:

  - For Linux 32-bit use the lin32-349 file: ./lin32-349 lb5alpha.im

I already updated the contents of lb5-349.zip on the libertybasic.com server.

any chance of support for the following in the next alpha release?

Thanks in advance

New string functions make it easier to do some things and with faster performance.

upto$(sourceString$, search$)
after$(sourceString$, search$)
afterlast$(sourceString$, search$)
endswith(sourceString$, search$)
remchar$(sourceString$, removeThese$)

I will try for the characterInput and Inkey$.

Sprites are already in there, pretty much.

[Gordon Rahman]

Thanks in advance Carl,

Sprites travel and visible maybe easy to do?
and only the " when(left(right)ButtonDouble and the middleButton)" methodes are left for the mouse to be controlled fully.

It looks as if more people pay attention to LB now as LB is mentioned and discussed. 
A favorable trend.
