Yes, the latest compiler has been released! Check out the mainpage for details.
This version mainly fixes the bugs encountered in v1.20.
As a side note, this will also be the last version to use the SNASM compiler. The next release will use the ASMX assembler, which is a smaller executable, assembles 68k code faster, eliminates 100% of all compatibility errors with the Windows OS, and has support for assembling Z80 code.
Expect another release no later than 3 weeks.

Cool! Using asmx also puts you one step closer to platform independence. ;D I prefer to use linux, and BEX just doesn't work worth a darn under WINE. Is there any chance you could just make a command line version of BEX? That way we could just do something like "bex options inputfile" to compile the code from a shell.

Incredible  !! Thanks Devster. The new version works better than ever  !! I suppose that it is time to retire our old and dear Snasm, and replace it with something younger and more efficient. I will wait anxiously the next new version.  |

I also would like the commandline compiler too... i can imagine using BEX on Makefiles ;D Of course, this would allow anyone to write their own IDE, and to get rid of some nasty VB6 bugs... In the meanwhile, i will try to buy find some spare time to play with v1.20  BTW: Could you provide a zipfile version? The installer is OK, but for people upgrading, it may be a waste of time to run an installer. (this goes double for Wine users) |

With just a commandline compiler, you wouldn't have to worry about features that are already better implemented elsewhere. Just make the best damn compiler and let the user pick their IDE (Eclipse, Bloodshed, Code::Blocks, Geany... ). |

okay, here's what's going on with "another" version of the compiler. i haven't said anything about this, but i'm actually in the process of converting the visual basic code (that makes up basiegaxorz) into c++ code using an automated converter  . the problem is that the current converted code doesn't work worth beans - yet. i'll keep working on it, and debugging, and etc, so until then, i'll keep you guys posted |

I'd convert to C# instead. I've been converting some of Gens code to C# and all runs perfectly after the conversion. You can write much more graceful code with C#. Plus all visual studio tools are free if you get the Express version, wich is complete except for corporate development features. Oh... I'd be crazy to take a look on that neat VB BasiEgaXorz code...  |
