Other B4i v8.30 BETA is released

[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new beta version of B4i.

1. Support for Java 14, which is now the recommended version: https://www.b4x.com/b4j/files/java/jdk-14.0.1.zip
2. Firebase 3.00 / iAdMob 3.00 - based on updated SDKs. This is a large change under the hood. If using hosted builder, and not using B4i v8.30, then you need to update the internal libraries in order to compile: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebase-admob-v3-00.144798/#content
3. Improvement to error logs. The IDE will try to select the relevant message in the long text.
4. Map.Put / CreateMap support Nulls as values. This is mostly important for Json.
5. Updated libraries: iPhone v2.01, iCore v8.30, iFirebaseAnalytics v3.00, iFirebaseAuthv3.00, iFirebaseStorage v3.00, iFirebaseNotifications v3.00
6. Ctrl + Alt + W closes the current code window.
7. Bug fixes and other small improvements.

Developers who are eligible for a free upgrade will receive an email with upgrade instructions.

Thanks got it. Mac Builder is still 8.10 right? We have to add firebase 3 frameworks manually.

Erel, excited for the release!

Im curious why JDK 14 is now the recommended version? Its not a long term release and support stopped 2 years ago?

Yes and yes.

The previous recommended version was JDK 11. There were several issues with the signing key creation which were solved in JDK 14.
