Gambas mailing-list has a search engine

The Gambas mailing-list, now hosted on hostsharing.net, got a search engine.

Thanks to Christof Thalhofer for that very useful feature.

Gambas mailing-lists are now hosted on HostSharing.net

Thanks to Christof Thalhofer and hostsharing.net, we have now a dedicated mailing-list server for Gambas at http://lists.gambas-basic.org.

There is one mailing-list at the moment, named "User". Additional mailing-list will be added in the future according to the needs.

The old mailing-lists will be kept only for history purpose.

Thanks for their support!

Gambas source code is now hosted on GitLab

The Gambas source repository has been moved from SourceForge to GitLab, and Git will be used for development for now, instead of Subversion.

The new git repository is at https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas, the first gambas being the name of the group of GitLab Gambas users, the second one being the name of the project.

The Subversion repository is now read-only.

Gambas 3.10.0 has been released.

The main important features of this new version are the following:

Enjoy!

Gambas 3.9.2 has been released.

This release fixes most of the bugs found since the release of Gambas 3.9.1.

See the Release Notes for all the details.

By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017 TO ALL GAMBAS USERS!

Last version of Gambas runs on Windows

Here is a screenshot of Gambas running on Windows through Cygwin.

More information about how to install Gambas on CygWin there. The next 3.9.2 minor version should include all the needed patches. In the meantime, use the development version.

Gambas 3.9.1 has been released.

This release fixes most of the serious bugs found since the release of Gambas 3.9.0. Especially the compilation on ARM and 32 bits systems.

See the Release Notes for all the details.

Gambas 3.9.0 has been released!

There are hundreds of new features, bug fixes and optimizations in this new version.

The main feature is gb.web.form, a new component that allows to make the GUI of your web application from the Gambas IDE.

How does it work in a few words?

Almost everything is done on the server side. The user browser is mainly used as an enhanced graphical terminal running the less JavaScript as possible. Events and page refresh flow between the browser and the server through XML HTTP requests.

Besides you will see some screenshots of the configuration program of a web radio entirely made with that component. The project is run through the embedded HTTP server component gb.httpd and Chromium is the browser.

Otherwise, the main new features of Gambas 3.9 are:

• gb.form.terminal, a new component providing a full-featured terminal emulation.

• A new IDE output console based on the previous component.

• A new and better project argument list interface.

• Project creation is now based on project templates. Custom templates can be defined.

• New library management system.

• The Expression class is now inheritable and allows to customize the interpreter evaluator.

• FileView and DirView controls automatically refresh themselves if your project uses the gb.inotify component.

• TextEditor now can display thin vertical lines to emphasize indentation.

• Menu can have a proxy, i.e. pop up the children of another menu.

• Paint.StretchImage() is a new method that scales an image to fit a rectangle, keeping the image proportions.

• gb.net.smtp component support PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentication.

See the Release Notes for all the details.

Enjoy it!

Gambas will have a terminal emulator soon.

The gb.form.terminal is a new component providing a VT-100 terminal emulator control, that you will be able to put anywhere in your application. It will be used in the development environment instead of the old rudimentary console.

Here is a few features of that terminal emulator:

• Ability to use any font, even variable-width fonts displayed as fixed fonts. But then some characters too wide may be cut.

• Limited or unlimited history.

• Blinking text supported.

• Mouse support (currently in development).

• Line graphical characters are drawn instead of using the font glyphs.

Happy New Year!

I wish an happy new year to all Gambas users and their family.

Here is a screenshot of the new gb.web.form in use. That component allows to create the GUI of your web applications with the IDE form editor. The screenshot shows the development of a web radio in progress.

Gambas 3.8.4 has been released.

This release includes all bugs fixes since the release of Gambas 3.8.3.

Here is some important changes:

• No crash anymore when running the IDE through a terminal server, or on old desktops that do not manage some X11 properties.

• Support for time-only values on recent PostgreSQL databases.

• Support for PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentications in gb.net.smtp.

See the Release Notes for the details.

Gambas 3.8.3 has been released.

This release includes all bugs fixes since the release of Gambas 3.8.2. It includes a few enhancements and optimizations too:

• Source files can now be dragged & dropped in the IDE project tree.

• Project directories are now movable.

• Support for line cap style, line join style and fill rule in the IDE image editor.

• Array accessors are faster.

See the Release Notes for the details.

Benchmarks have been updated.

Following the latest optimizations of the Gambas interpreter, I updated the comparison benchmarks.

The different benchmarks now run less occurrences, so that the result comes faster. The Perl version of the sort benchmark has been fixed too - it was run ten times too much!

Gambas 3.8.2 has been released.

This release includes all bugs fixes since the release of Gambas 3.8.1.

It includes a few enhancements too:

• Support for dark themes.

• New logo, project, mime types and control icons based on the breeze theme look.

• Project creation is now based on customizable project templates.

• Logical set operations on selections in the image editor.

• Relative paths now can refer to files located in the main project, in the current component, or in components crossed by stacked function calls.

• The ODBC component is usable now.

See the Release Notes for the details.

Enjoy!

Interview on Gambas

I have been interviewed by Randall Schwartz and Simon Phipps on the FLOSS weekly show on twit.tv. You can show the interview at:

http://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/353

If you watch it, you will probably notice that I will never become an English teacher.

Enjoy anyway!

Gambas 3.8.1 has been released.

This release includes all bugs fixes and little changes made since the release of Gambas 3.8.0.

See the Release Notes for the details.

Enjoy!

Gambas 3.8.0 has been released.

Here are the main changes in this new version:

• The text editor has been entirely rewritten in Gambas. It is located in a new component named gb.form.editor. That way, GTK+ programs now have a text editor with syntax highlighting for free.

• Support for QT5. The new gb.qt5, gb.qt5.opengl and gb.qt5.webkit components have the same interface as the QT4 components.

• Automatic support for KDE & Unity tray icon DBus protocols. Just use the TrayIcon class as before, and the new protocol will be automatically used if a DBus system tray icon is detected. Otherwise, the old X11 protocol is used.

• Important fixed in UTF-8 string handling.

• Searching inside native arrays is faster.

• The SQLite3 driver has been rewritten and is faster now.

Thanks for your patience and enjoy it!

The Gambas prayer by Bruce Bruen.

When the Sourceforge mailing-lists seem to not process mails anymore, you can try the following:

Hail Mary full of grace,
Deliver us from this terrible place,
There is no mail, there is no news
And no-one solves my Gambas blues.

We keep the faith, we hold the light,
Please get us out of this terrible plight.
My events don't fire, my handlers fold
silently, no errors told.

We hold the 'Forge in reverence
and look each hour in expectation
of clues, and even Tobi's sense
but yet there seems to be stagnation.

Mary, we do implore
that you knock upon their door,
kick their a*s*, make them move
and hopefully then things improve.

Amen

Gambas 3.5.4 has been released.

This release includes 28 bug fixes backported from the development version. It should be used instead of the previous 3.5.x versions.

See the Release Notes for the list of all bug fixes.

An article on Gambas in Linux Format Magazine

You will see it in the the issue 184.

Gambas 3.5.3 has been released.

This release fixes about thirty bugs, and so must be used instead of the previous 3.5.x versions.

It makes the IDE help system use the new wiki too.

See the Release Notes for the list of all bug fixes.

The new Gambas wiki is officially out.

It is located at a new web site http://gambaswiki.org hosted by the company where I work.

That new wiki is based on the Gambas Markdown syntax as implemented in the new gb.markdown component, and the old wiki database has been automatically converted to the new markdown syntax.

Registration is now done through a dedicated registration page. You just need an e-mail and answer a Gambas computation.

The Gambas web site now points at the new wiki.

The old wiki is kept during one year to host the Gambas 2 documentation.

Gambas 3.5.2 has been released.

This release fixes more than sixty bugs, and so must be used instead of the 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 version.

See the Release Notes for the list of all bug fixes.

By the way, even if it is late, happy new year to all Gambas users!

Gambas 3.5.1 has been released.

This release must be used instead of the 3.5.0 version, because it fixes the IDE packager. But there are some bug fixes and new features related to the bug fixes too.

• Now, if a project uses the gb.gui component, then the packager will create two extra meta-packages: one for Qt4 support, the other for GTK+ support. The Qt4 meta-package depends on the application package and the gb.qt4 binary package. The GTK+ meta-package depends on the application package and the gb.gtk binary package.

• If OpenGL is used, the corresponding GUI opengl support packages (gb.qt4.opengl and gb.gtk.opengl) are added to the dependencies.

• The gb.desktop.gnome component is now visible and explicitely checkable, so that it becomes an explicit dependency when creating a binary package with the packager.

• Finally, you can now specify the package version number: this must be used when you make and deliver several different packages of the same software release.

See the Release Notes for the list of all new features and bug fixes.

IMPORTANT! Ubuntu users must read this.

The Daily Builds PPA, previously located at ppa:sebikul/gambas-daily has moved to ppa:gambas-team/gambas-daily. This is to avoid Kende Kristián from performing untested changes to the Stable PPA, and avoiding potential issues.

The quickest method to update is to execute (as root):

This way the old PPA will still be active, but will be superseded by the new one. If you would like to remove it, search the following lines in your .sources files and comment them out or delete them:

I will keep the packages there for 2 weeks to give you enough time to update. After that, executing apt-get update with the old PPA will fail with a 404 error. So eventually you will have to remove this lines.

Sebastian Kulesz.

Gambas 3.5.0 has been released!

This new release fixes more than 240 bugs and adds more than 270 new features (yes, the same numbers as the last version!).

Gambas 3 has now a Just In Time compiler!

This JIT compiler has been made by Emil Lenngren. It is based on LLVM 3.1.

Add the FAST keyword on the top of a class, and all methods of that class are dynamically compiled and magically become faster.

For example, the GameOfLife example becomes globally twice faster, the generation computation four times faster.

Gains are mainly expected in low-level computation and control flow, programs becoming up to about 100 times faster. Note that there are some limitations yet.

Read this document for more details.

*Beware: LLVM 3.1 must be compiled by hand on most distributions, and the very last development version of Gambas must be used.

Gambas 3 runs on Raspberry Pi!

The Raspberry system was emulated through QEMU. Compilation takes hours. X11 Display was forwarded to the host machine. Everything is sluggish.

But it works, and it's cool. :-)

*Beware: The very last development version must be used.

Gambas 3.1.1 has been released.

This release fixes some annoying bugs that were still present in Gambas 3.1. You should really use it instead of the 3.1.0 version.

See the Release Notes for the list of bug fixes.

See the Release Notes for the details.

GAMBAS 3 IS FINALLY OUT!

Happy New Year! As promised (hu hu), Gambas 3 has been delivered during the 2011 year. :-)

Again, many many bugs were fixed and last-minute features were implemented:

• The special mathematical functions of glibc are correctly detected and used now.

• Floating point numbers should be printed in a better way.

• French, Czech and Catalan translations were updated.

And two security holes were closed:

• String hashing algorithm has been randomized. See that document for the details.

• In the IDE, you cannot get the project version by running a program (what a stupid idea!). Now you get it from a text file located in a parent directory of the project.

See the Release Notes for the full ChangeLog.

And tell me that is not a pretty present for 2012. :-)

*Please report as much as possible if compilation and installation on your system are ok or not, and if your distribution has binary packages of Gambas 3!
