Other B4A v11.80 is available for download

[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new version of B4A.
This update includes the new designer script extensions (DSE) feature: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-designer-script-extensions.141312/#content
I believe that overtime this feature will change the way we manage complex layouts.

Other improvements:

• This is the first 64 bit version of B4A IDE, which means that it will handle better large projects.
  It will be installed by default under Program Files\Anywhere Software\B4A.
  It will not run on 32 bit Windows. Note that the CPU architecture doesn't affect the compiled apps.
• RUNTIME conditional symbol - an automatic symbol that is added during compilation. It can be used to exclude code from the IDE case-corrector.
• Updated libraries: B4XPages v1.11, XUI Views v2.55, BCTextEngine v1.92, XUI v2.2, SMM v1.13.
• New DesignerUtils (DDD) library with a new designer script framework.
• Bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Note that the UI Cloud has been removed. It was in quite a bad state for a while. Newer devices misbehave when running for a long time as servers and it became impossible to maintain it.

Thanks Erel, this has reminded me to make my periodic donation.

Yikes. If only I would have saw that. I am not surprised at all. Also missed a 'defect'.

 

[Erel]

Since this is 64bit, a change has to be made thus:

SysWOW64 dir rather than System32

Where does this line come from? Note that it isn't really related to the IDE CPU architecture.

Looking forward to this. Thanks!

Superfluous Then in the While statement!

EDIT: There was a post from @b2mvga complaining about a compile error that this was a response to but that post has now vanished

Installed v.11.80, put path to my additionmal libraries folder, opened my project and the following libs were missing

1- Encryption
2- SQLCypher
3- FusedLocationProvider
4- TabhostExtras.

Is it because I put them into worong place? Into regular libs instead of additional libs when I nstalled my previous version?

Yes

When download a new library, DON'T PUT in general librarys.
Is better put in you personal adicional library ALWAYS.

Sorry for late reply. I think some time in the past you showed us how to open the project folder - maybe when you introduced these ctrl-mouse click commands. I have a whole list of them for various functions (opening folders, copying files etc)

I wasn't correcting you Erel, just pointing out the change for other people.

Good advice ?

The update leaves the old version behind as is expected when going from 32 to 64 bit.
However, it also removes the old version from the Installed Apps list, so it can not be uninstalled from there.
What is the recommended method to uninstall the old version?

 

[Alexander Stolte]

What is the recommended method to uninstall the old version?

Uninstall from the Control Panel (for programs)

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Control Panel and select it from the results.
2. Select Programs > Programs and Features.
3. Press and hold (or right-click) on the program you want to remove and select Uninstall or Uninstall/Change. Then follow the directions on the screen.

in this menu you can see which of the two is the 64 bit version and therefore you can uninstall the other one there directly

I seem to be missing the httputils2 library (can't find httpjob type). It is supposed to be an internal library, so I am not sure what I am supposed to do.
Thanks in advance!

Even more worrying, reverting to the previous version still shows the problem (even though there was no such issue until I upgraded to 11.80), so now I can't run my code at all
