Congratulations! I’ll be downloading and testing shortly!

Thank you for all of your hard work for us Pelles C users!!!

BTW version Pelles C v11 had no issues in Windows 11. Been running that way for quite a while.

( About Windows 11: I need a hardware upgrade to properly run it, but since I have heard almost nothing but bad opinions about Windows 11 I'm going to wait. It seems to follow an old Microsoft tradition of "every other Windows version is crap"...

Windows XP : better than previous version
Windows Vista: worse
Windows 7: better
Windows 8(.1): worse
Windows 10: better
Windows 11: worse(?)

My parents were used to say that you must do a job 3 times at least. The first time to do it following your dreams, the second when you realize that many of those were crap, the last when you finally understood what is really required... ;)

This post was sent from a Win10 machine... ;D

Speaking of Windows 11, this was reported yesterday ...

A fully patched Windows 11 system was hacked again at Pwn2Own, with Thomas Imbert (@masthoon)
from Synacktiv (@Synacktiv) earning $30,000 for a Use-After-Free (UAF) bug.

I would like to clarify at the expense of the Russian language - is support for version 12 planned?

PS: on Windows 11 everything works great!

Post by: Pelle on April 04, 2023, 10:06:58 PM: Adding C2X mode prompted many changes to the parser, which in turn triggered more refactoring. It's possible a bug got fixed during all of this. Whatever.

Post by: Akko on April 13, 2023, 09:58:57 AM: Many many thanks for the new version!! I really appreciate your continuing support.

My 5 cents:

Installs and runs on Win11 (for me personally the best Win version so far, although I am nostalgically a bit more inclined towards Win7..).

Compiling my Forth compiler with 12.00 seems to go fine, but the Forth test suite shows some errors with string handling functions (which it does not when compiled with gcc or vc or clang). Unfortunately I have not yet found time for hunting the bug ...

Not in this version, maybe in some future version...

Could be a bug, different default settings, or something else. I can't really comment without more info...
