Other B4i v8.50 has been released!

Erel said:

I'm happy to release a new version of B4i.
This update brings code snippets and other IDE improvements to B4i.
It also adds support for Swift frameworks. Swift frameworks were supported in the first versions of Swift, but since then Apple changed the toolchain and a complete rewrite was required.

• Code snippets: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-code-snippets.152450/
• Support for Swift frameworks. Note that Objective C bridge headers are required.
  This feature is supported by Xcode 15+. The hosted builders were upgrades to Xcode 15.
• IDE shortcut to go to a layout file: 'ide://goto?Layout=MainPage
• New #ModuleVisibility attribute. Value can be Public - default visibility, or B4XLib. B4XLib means that the module methods and fields will not be visible once the module is packed as a b4xlib. Note that it is an IDE feature and is ignored by the compiler.
• B4XView.Alpha / SetAlphaAnimated property and method.
• B4XLibs modules and files can be overridden. This is done by adding the module or file to the project. The compiler now accepts it and gives higher precedence to the project files.
• Debugger improvements including performance improvements and bug fixes.
• Minimum version is iOS 11 or higher.
• Updated libraries: B4XFormatter v1.04, BCTextEngine v1.95, XmlMap v1.01, SimpleMediaManager v1.14, iHttpUtils2 3.04, iFacebook v2.1, XUI Views v2.60, iCore v8.50, XUI v2.30, iAdMob 4.00
• Bug fixes and other small improvements.

Developers eligible for a free upgrade will receive an email with download link.
Other developers will receive an email with a renewal offer.

Is it correct that I should overwrite the existing .h and .a files in the B4IBuildserver/LIBS subdirectory and leave the framework files as is?

Does B4i-Bridge require an update when upgrading to this version?

From my experience hosted builder is separate. Even if you buy Enterprise for 2 years. YOu only get hosted builder for a year.

yes i understand that but i renewed the hosted builder 1 week ago for 26 $ because i didnot knew that my b4i license ran out. so after 1 week i receive a renew your license email. so now i bought the enterprise + hosted builder (1 year) again for 89$ so will i have now 2 years or the first purchase of the hosted builder alone was a waste?
this was my question
