PlayBasic V1.65C2 _Retail Upgrade_ Now Available (10th July, 2021)
The PlayBasic V1.65C2 package includes updates of PlayBasic Compiler, Release / Debug Runtimes, SLIBS, DOCS & IDE V1.17b.
The V1.65C2 release is the fourth major release of the next generation of the PlayBasic virtual machine. This is a stabilization release, encompassing the last two years of bug fixes into the upgrade.
Reminder: The new runtime doesn't support reading from types that don't exist, which can cause old programs to fail at runtime. For a full V1.65C2 development story read the PlayBasic V1.65 blogs and for V1.65 related errors, post them in the V1.65 bug reporting thread on the forums.
