News, May 2011

After a long time we have a new version of wxBasic.
The latest version comes with the wxWidget library 2.8.12 and it comes on Windows, OSX and Linux at the same time.

By the way: from now on the wxBasic Website is managed via Drupal instead of plain html.

In the latest version are some bugfixes, most of them you might have never seen as they just appeard in the the versions never released to the public, the latest wxWidget library and some new features (e.g. enhancements to the debugger). The full changes follows.
To be honest the OSX and Ubuntu versions are not that fully tested as the Windows versions.
