Other B4i v4.00 BETA is released

[Erel]

I'm happy to release B4i v4.00 BETA. This update includes the new resumable subs language feature.
The resumable subs feature is a very important feature which dramatically simplifies the management of asynchronous tasks.

Improvements:

• Resumable subs - Wait For / Sleep: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/resumable-subs-sleep-wait-for.78601/#post-498072
  
  
  
  
  
  Complete code:
  
  Sub btn_Click
      Dim b As Button = Sender
      For i = 10 To 0 Step - 1
          b.Text = i
          Sleep(100)
      Next
      b.Text = "Takeoff!"
  End Sub
• CSBuilder - Builder for attributed strings. Similar to B4A CSBuilder: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/csbuilder-attributedstrings-builder.79153/
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Debugger improvements:
  • Better handling of multiple installed debug apps.
  • Bug fixes and better logging.
  • Deployment process improved. Auto installation is now the default.
  • SetDebugAutoFlushLogs keyword. When enabled a short pause is added in debug mode when internal logs are printed. This is useful for debugging hard crashes.
• Find all references - Finds usages in layout files and CallSub calls.
• Symbols renaming based on Find all references feature: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/first-refactoring-feature.77122/#content
• Replace from Quick Search (ctrl + F) results.
• Icon Picker - Filter results, name tooltips and search by hex value.
• Auto discovery - The IDE finds devices running B4i-Bridge app automatically:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Font.CreateMaterialIcons / CreateFontAwesome methods.
• iNetwork library was updated with fixes related to handling of UDP packets.
• Label / TextView / TextField.AttributedText property. Works together with CSBuilder.
• Page.TitleView - Allows to replace the page title with a custom view (such as a label with attributed string).
• TextView_LinkClick event. Links are created with CSBuilder.
• Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

Note that B4i-Bridge should be updated (Tools - Build Server - Build B4i Bridge app).
Users who are eligible for a free upgrade will receive an email with installation instructions.

Is it possible to use CSBuilder with B4i 3.60 (Hosted Mac Builder) ?
I need this feature in my current project right now to have different parts of text in Label with differnt colors. (I have some troubles using https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-richstring.48573/#content).

Awesome on the sleep blocking feature which was impossible before for iOS develpment. Will find many uses for all programming projects!
