These updates include important bug fixes and security patches. - Removes obsolete logging code in `libqb`, now superseded by the recently added logging system. - Switches the build to `C++20`, preparing for upcoming features that will rely on the newer standard. - #655 - Further relaxing ALIAS name validation, building on the work introduced in #535 - @a740g - The previous update did not account for several critical C++ operators, which are essential for leveraging the underlying C++ compiler in more advanced and novel ways. By including these operators, developers can now use techniques that enable direct use of the C++ compiler without the need for additional header libraries. Bug Fixes - #615 - Fixed a rather subtle IDE module error - @RhoSigma-QB64 - Reported at - If there was a program with a line count close below the next 1000s boundary and a search was performed, then if the found position was close to the program end and the IDE window height was bigger than the remaining program lines after the found match, then empty line padding could lead to a "subscribt out of range" error in an internal array in case the number of empty padding lines was bigger than the difference of the next 1000s boundary minus total program lines. - #657 - Fixes a bug in the font library function `UTF32::ConvertUTF16()` - @a740g - The function incorrectly attempted to consume a UTF-16 BOM even when none was present. Full Changelog: GitHub Enhancements - #647, #648, #649, #650, #652 - Implements the $USELIBRARY meta-command and functionality - @RhoSigma-QB64 - For use of our brand new QB64-PE Libraries Pack add-on. - The add-on is optional to ease library usage, but the traditional way of $INCLUDEing libraries still works without changes. - #651 - Implements three new IDE editing features - @FellippeHeitor - Auto-closing of brackets and quotes. - Ctrl+D for line/selection block duplication (Edit -> Duplicate lines). - Alt+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+Down to move lines/selection blocks up and down. - #662 - Implements a feature request by @Bhsdfa to define another EXE output folder, this closes issue #661 - @RhoSigma-QB64 Code: (Select All) Where is my EXE saved?
