Other B4A v9.90 BETA is available for download

[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new update.

Improvements:

• Add new module - Option to add the new module to the parent folder. This is useful in cross platform projects where the modules are shared between the different platforms.
• Fix for a design issue that existed since B4A v1.0 where in some cases assignment of an object to a variable can also change other variables that point to the same "wrapper".
• New warning:
  "Comparison of Object to other types will fail if exact types do not match.
  Better to put the object on the right side of the comparison. (warning #35)"
  See this post for more information: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-is-available-for-download.117877/post-737515.
• Support for Java 14 (must use the one downloaded from B4X).
• Fix for empty description windows in some cases.
• Several debugger fixes.
• New "contribute" menu item.
• Current selected line, in the search results and other syntax colored lists, is displayed.
• B4XTurtle and BCTextEngine are now internal libraries.
• Network v1.52 - UDPSocket.GetBroadcastAddress method.
• The code editor cursor color can be changed in the INI file. It uses the same 0xAABBGGRR format as in the theme files (CursorColor=0x000000FF).
• Template of XUI custom views was updated. The convention explained here is implemented: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/117992/#content
• Fix for compilation error when compiling projects with many modules.
• Latest versions of all internal libraries are included.
• Other bug fixes and minor IDE improvements.

hi Erel you wrote:

Can you give the download link so we can use the right version?

 

[Erel]

You can find it here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4j-v8-30-is-available-for-download.118160/#content
Note that it has no advantages over using Java 8 or 11.

B4XTurtle and BCTextEngine are now internal libraries.

I just added the BCTextEngine.b4xlib in additional lib folder yesterday for testing some samples and may forget about it and may get error when using new 9.90 version, when released.

Can we have ide check the lib folders and display that "same/similar .b4xlib/.jar available in both internal and additional folders and may give error", or something like that ?

Regards,

Anand

I remember that as a response to one of my posts, Erel mentioned that the Internal library will override the library in the additional library folder. In other words, don't worry about it. You will not get an error

It shouldn't matter that there is a copy in the additional libraries folder. The one in the internal folder will be used.

Thx Erel, appreciate your hard work. Love the fact that you continuously update the platform.

 

[joaquinortiz]

Great @Erel Thanks!!!.

the procedure to install version 9.90 over version 9.80 what would it be?. I have to delete first 9.80?

 

[Erel]

No need to uninstall the previous version. Just install it over it.

 

[Jorge M A]

Thank you!
In the meantime, for QA purposes, can we report bugs here, or do we open bug thread?

Color Picker
sometimes (?) error occurred.
Select any color, then "Copy to Clipboard" button and:

 

[Erel]

This error means that the IDE failed to access the clipboard. It usually happens when there is another program that manipulates the clipboard. Remote desktop for example.

It is not related to the new version.
