This is the first 64 bit version of B4X IDE.
It will not run on 32 bit OS.
The new version will be installed in "program files" and not in "program files (x86)".

Switching to 64 bit architecture allows the IDE to better handle large projects.
Other than that this update adds text alignment support for TextField and a few bug fixes.
It seems like it will be possible to have both versions (32-bit and 64-bit) installed at the same time. Is that the case? Would they also be able to run at the same time?
The main benefit of 64 bit apps is that they can use more available memory (when needed).
It is possible that you will notice other performance improvements as 32 bit apps run above an emulated layer.
I see. Installing multiple versions of B4J will not help with the "single debug instance" limitation. This is something that I need to fix (not very complicated).
I don't remember if this was happening in 9.3, but when running an B4XPages App in Debug mode (not release), after ExitApplication the IDE returns to Main, rather than to where I was. Then I have to switch back. Sometimes I start typing without looking, and cause more work.
