Other Don't Wait For v5.51... It is already here

[Erel]

I'm happy to release B4J v5.50: https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html
This version adds support for resumable subs (Wait For / Sleep): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/posts/498072/
This is the most important language improvement since the addition of classes in B4A v2.0.

Resumable subs make it much simpler to handle asynchronous tasks.

Additional improvements:
- Debugger improvements.
- Node_AnimationCompleted event.

Example:

Sub btn_Action
   Dim b As Button = Sender
   For i = 10 To 0 Step - 1
     b.Text = i
     Sleep(100)
   Next
   b.Text = "Takeoff!"
End Sub

XD resumable subs was created just to have that pun on the title!

Nice one

V5.51 was released. It fixes a bug with resumable subs and try / catch blocks and an issue with Spinner control.

Hi,
What should I do to receive the email for new software-baj releases?
Thanks you

(Italian: cosa devo fare per ricevere una email quando ci sono dei nuovi rilasci?)

You don't need an e-mail, just download it HERE.

thank you Klaus... but my question is about future releases.

 

[klaus]

I didn't get an e-mail either, as B4J is for free, you just need to download it.

 

[juvanum]

ok. thank you

 

[jmon]

Thank you for this release, some really cool things recently. So cool that I will rewrite lots of code with the new features!

Could we be notified by email of new releases? Or could there be a "new releases" thread that we could follow ?

Not exactly but there're the Change Log Posts B4X (for B4J, look at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4j-change-log-version-history.37448/#content)

 

[Erel]

You can subscribe to the change log thread. From now on I will make a new post at the end when a version is released.
