PlayBasic V1.65C BETA #20 (Retail Compiler Only Beta) - (Avail for Registered Users ONLY) (29th Dec,2017)
V1.65C Beta #20 virtually concludes the V1.65 clean up. In this build we are running on the new VM only. Which means all new instruction set and all new inner workings of PlayBasic... In this last build we're reconnected the Vm with the legayc debugger, which was previously rigidly hooked to the legacy VM making it break in later builds. In this version is almost back to normal, I say almost as the old interfaces are still there and there many be some routines still using them, but I'll tackle that in the clean up when building a release version in the new year.
The new runtime brings us more number crunching performance, standard instruction set and is now separate from most of the command sets (some are built into the VM.. like strings or array commands) the generally command sets could be swapped without needing to constantly update the runtime. There's some features of V1.64P that are NOT in the new VM, which are mainly some of the compiler optimizations that it would make to user byte code, one that comes to mind is the serialization of the Type / Structure accesses.. Which can give a massive performance benefit in code that focuses it's accessed on one structure of data.. I'm going to include this in V1.65, but wanted to get it working first.. then we can add some of my list of tricks 
Anyway, have fun.. there's bound to be some DEBUG messages etc in this.. but it's the future !
