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.

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.

4.60 of what..? PBP is only up to version 2.6 as far as I know!

Uh yeah, what he said.

I meant 2.46, then 2.50 and now 2.60.

DYSLEXICS UNTIE !

Hi Robert.

Is this version with the GLCDs, Floating, Multi-tasking and Integrated DT-INTS? ;)

Hi, Ioannis

You've forgotten the brand new autoscript feature and vocal commands, see :

just say in the micro :

"I want a program for my old Austin mini to show 250 HP (min. ) "... i.e.

et voilà ...

just hit the return key ... and it rolls ... Programmed Pic jumps off the CD Drawer !!!

isn't it Marvellous ???

...

[Humour OFF] ( sorry I left this mode ON yesterday eve ...)

would be a good test for the "poll" feature of the forum ... don't you think ???

might be surprising results ... halas.

Alain

How much will the new version cost?, i need to get 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 :eek:, :mad:, and sometimes :confused:

Any truth to that?

Nah, thats just rumors spread around by the communist!

Ioannis

Communists?
Hmm. Well, I suppose that would explain it.

Thanks!

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...
