Thanks counting_pine, I guess it was some kind of internet connectivity issue. Google's DNS is currently configured as secondary DNS server. I'm using the Jenkins URLTrigger plugin to check for changes and trigger the build if any have been detected (= result of XPath expression //pubDate[1] changed...

No, the problem is that no build has been triggered at all: https://img.imageupload.net/2020/07/04/grafik.th.png I'm not sure what caused the issue, but for some reason the Recent-Changes RSS feed of the FreeBasic Wiki couldn't be fetched from the server, according to the logs: Invoking the url: htt...

Thanks a lot for the hint,fxm. Last known good was on 2020-05-23, first recorded failure was on 2020-06-09 (and 4 more times since then). The problem was an expired SSL certificate on the freebasic-portal.de server, which caused the CHM upload to fail. As I cannot do any changes to the configuration...

There is no source code because I own and have the source code for the main guts of the designer. They took the FireFly Visual Designer and injected into it in order build around the core exe. I'm sure that all the other dll's and stuff that was used to hack into the FireFly exe could be open sourc...

no, it is not an open-sourced software The author has spent a very long time on this project, so it will not be abandoned easily Could be. It's just a bit strange that the IDE pops up one day, is heavily advertised for a short period of time and now seems to have gone quiet again already. Doesn't s...

And that statement I actually disagree with. Open source VB6 would actually be pretty huge, or would have been even a couple of years ago. A couple of years ago most likely, nowadays I'm not so sure anymore. I mean most of the new UI technologies, research and development seems to happen in the fie...

I guess that should read "even if VB6 was open source, nothing would have changed in the BASIC world." ?

Quickly started it up and played around a bit and soon ran into Access Violation errors when creating / deleting controls in the designer. Evidently it is still in pre-alpha state :-) https://i.ibb.co/XF0GWPy/grafik.png The concept looks similar to existing Delphi designers, just in a very early sta...

@xiaoyao: where can I find the source code for this? Or is this just yet another poor attempt of creating a closed-source FreeBasic IDE going to be abandoned within a few years or even months? On the GitHub page I just can see a set of ZIP files containing (outdated?) compiled binaries along with so...

Experimented a bit with different old and new Linux VMs: A current install of Debian 10 in VMware or VirtualBox provided a framebuffer device by default (no extra configuration necessary), but it always triggered errors (either app segfaulting or even kernel errors). An older Debian 8 install on Vir...

fbgfx supports the framebuffer device, however I don't think that you can create a fbgfx application with FreeBasic that does not depend on X libraries by default. If you run a fbgfx application not within a X environment but from a terminal it will use the framebuffer (if available). Unfortunately ...

Can recommend the Git GUI https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/ SmartGit for Linux (also available for Windows and Mac).

Thanks for the hint, the machine ran out of disk space. I've cleaned up some space so that it should work now again. A documentation build will be triggered when a new change is detected (from now on again). (Change history is queried using the RSS feed XML: https://freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakk...

For now it seems to be read-only (at least FTP access doesn't work yet for me), so probably still some more days to go until documentation & compiler builds get updated again.

planned maintenance.

in short: it gets more storage space, better performance and the latest OS and should be available again soon
