    Default New version of Pic BASIC Pro released

    Just a heads up in case you are about to buy version 4.50. I called HVM Technologies to order the update to 4.50 and was told that they are expecting version 4.60 any day now. MeLabs already lists 4.60 on their home site.

    I haven't seen any mention if I can upgrade directly from 2.46 or if I have to pass by 2.50 first. Does anyone know how this works?

    EDIT: I am assuming the patches work on their specific versions, but that upgrades work from any version. I'd just like confirmation before ordering.
    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Updates to a version are free.

    To get a new version,2.60 at a reduced price you need to have a bill of sales for the version you are currently using.

    2.60 came out sometime last summer.

    Edit:
    I should have said patches to a version.

    About Humor ON, maybe just leave it on. Don't we need it?

    Of course there is no such new version, it is just a joke of the wish list that we had long time ago about the want-to-see features.

    I heard that on the new forum there would be no humor allowed, and the only "smilies" available would be , , and sometimes

    Any truth to that?

    Yay! My PBP 2.60 upgrade finally arrived yesterday.
    MELabs shipped it same day, but UPS took forever.

    I guess I'm just old fashioned, but I really like that PBP comes with a genuine printed manual. That seems to be getting more and more rare in this era of .pdf files.
    Mmm. It's even got that new book smell. Love it...
