Just to let y'all know I've put version 2.3.5 up on the main page.
The biggest change is probably the ability to compile code at runtime.
There's also new "lazy and" and "lazy or" instructions, which should make certain conditionals a bit easier to write.
I've also relaxed the "can only open files in "files" subfolder" restriction slightly to "can only open files in current folder (or a subfolder thereof)", and added some functions to list the files in a folder.
And I've fixed that annoying (and weird) bug where sounds don't play in standalone exe files.
Enjoy,

The biggest change is probably the ability to compile code at runtime.
dim code
code = Compile("print" + chr$(34) + "Hello world" + chr$(34))
Execute(code)This should open up some interesting possibilities for adding dynamic scripting to programs.There's also new "lazy and" and "lazy or" instructions, which should make certain conditionals a bit easier to write.
dim i, a(10), value
value = 3
while i <= 10 land a(i) <> value: i = i + 1: wendfor example (the "land" (lazy and) prevents the application from trying to evaluate a(11) and halting with a runtime error).I've also relaxed the "can only open files in "files" subfolder" restriction slightly to "can only open files in current folder (or a subfolder thereof)", and added some functions to list the files in a folder.
