I agree, Chi. The autocomplete box covering code is why I went back to the old version and stopped testing Beta 1.

Yes, that is really annoying. Since a beta test version only makes sense if many people are actually using it, I hope that soon there will be a 5.70 beta 2 version where this bug is fixed.

There won't be any new function, because it is an LTS version.

It's a Beta LTS, the specifications are not closed.

Yeah a lot of people think LTS means feature freeze. It's not with any big Linux distros where it was pretty much invented.

I admit I don't know what it means with PB though cause it'd only make sense if there was lock-in for syntax and command support, and even then LTS of next tenths version is usually the non-LTS of last tenths version or even hundredths version.. You eventually have to rebuild code-base anyway do to bug fixes that are sometimes a security issue.

Since 5.70 is far from being completed, and the last LTS is more than 2 years old, it would be better to create a 5.63 without modification (copy of 5.62 which is stable) and name it 5.63 LTS. (IMHO)

Beta 2 is out, see first post for more info !

Example for new HTTPRequest() command:

Code:

InitNetwork()

; Specify the header you want for the request
;
NewMap Header$()
Header$("ContentType") = "octectstream"
Header$("UserAgent") = "Firefox 54.0"
Header$("NoParamHeader") = ""  ; When putting no string value, it will an empty parameter

; Various http request type
; #PB_HTTP_Get - post data will be ignored
; #PB_HTTP_Post - post data will be used if specified
; #PB_HTTP_Put - post data will be used if specified
; #PB_HTTP_Patch - post data will be used if specified
; #PB_HTTP_Delete - post data will be used if specified

; Example for a POST request with string post data (will return page not found)
;
HttpRequest = HTTPRequest(#PB_HTTP_Post, "https://purebasic.com/action.php", "{ JSON: [Hello] }", 0, Header$())
If HttpRequest
  Debug "ErrorCode = "+ HTTPInfo(HTTPRequest, #PB_HTTP_ErrorCode)
  Debug "Response = " + HTTPInfo(HTTPRequest, #PB_HTTP_Response)
  
  ; Even in NoAsynchronous mode, FinishHTTP() must be called
  FinishHTTP(HttpRequest)
Else
  Debug "Failed"
EndIf

For UseMySQLDatabase(), the OpenDatabase() command must be used like that:

Code:

db = OpenDatabase(#PB_Any, "host=localhost port=3306 dbname=yourdb", User$, Pass$)

Hi, hi,

time to start my tests with 5.70.
The possibility to do POST requests is a big step forward. Thank you.

Also MariaDB saves to include the mysql.pbi file from HexOr.
Maybe it can be turned from a dll to a lib (sometime)
Is it possible to use ssl/tls with it?

For PostgreSQL I had to wrote a Proxy which uses GNUTLS.
Very ugly.

The mariadb lib is LGPL, that's why you can't link it statically (to respect license).

Still no mention of Qt in the README, INSTALL, checkinstall.sh :cry:

p.s. Changes or additions to the instructions in the part for example Ubuntu 16.04 is?
