Other B4J v9.5 BETA is available for download

[Erel]

This is the first 64 bit version of B4X IDE.
It will not run on 32 bit OS.
The new version will be installed in "program files" and not in "program files (x86)".
Download link: https://www.b4x.com/b4j/files/beta.exe

Switching to 64 bit architecture allows the IDE to better handle large projects.

Other than that this update adds text alignment support for TextField and a few bug fixes.

I don't remember if this was happening in 9.3, but when running an B4XPages App in Debug mode (not release), after ExitApplication the IDE returns to Main, rather than to where I was. Then I have to switch back. Sometimes I start typing without looking, and cause more work.

It was the same in previous versions.

 

[William Lancee]

I guess I didn't use ExitApplication very often (my Apps are for ever )

Good day B4Xers, please Is it safe to transfer the internal Libraries from the old 32bit installation to the 64bit installation folder?

 

[Erel]

It is a mistake. The latest versions of the internal libraries are always included with the latest IDE version.

Hi Erel

j.PostBytes(testlink & "?method=test", Null)

this line of code that worked with the 32-bit version, fails with the 64-bit version
With this it works correctly

j.PostBytes(testlink & "?method=test", Array As Byte())

 

[Erel]

It is not related to the CPU architecture. Probably related to the OkHttp upgrade.

Hello Erel!
I'm trying to install the beta on my Parallels Windows 11 VM but it doesn't work even if I try with combinations of running compatibility! The VM and, of course Win11, is ARM64 architecture but the normal B4J 32bit version has been installed normally! The message it shows is attached.

The Win11 specs:
Device name vfaf-vm11
Processor Apple Silicon 3.20 GHz (4 processors)
Installed RAM 16,0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor
Pen and touch Pen support

Depending upon the source of that error message it looks like either Parallels or Windows 11 on ARM cannot run 64bit x64 programs. there is probably nothing you can do about that.

 

[William Lancee]

After I get this error popup and this log

[IDE message - 2:02:44]
An error occurred.
Destination array was not long enough. Check destIndex and length, and the array's lower bounds.

I have to restart B4J IDE to run anything (release or debug).

The error occurs when the size of the Log panel is greater then 4000. [Edit: much greater >10000]
I know I can get around it. But should the error not be handled more gracefully?

Hello @agraham! The strange thing is that the 32bit B4J version has been installed and works but I have some memory usage problems!

Can you start a new thread and provide more information?

I hope that there is still a option to select your own folder for installation.

 

[Erel]

There is.

 

[Swissmade]

There is.

Top thanks

B4J v9.3 is the last 32 bit version.

Oh no. I am using using Linux and run B4X in 32 bit VirtualBox.

Does this also apply to coming versions of B4A and B4i?

 

[Erel]

Yes.

Hello Erel! I have extracted the contents and I've replaced the installation folder of the 32bit version with them. It seems that it's working very well. The IDE does not hang anymore on 64 bit ARM VM.

I forgot to say thank you very much for your unlimited help!!!
