XSharp Bandol Beta 3: Summer Holiday version

We have just released XSharp Bandol Beta 3 to our FOX subscribers. This is a special Summer Holiday version to celebrate the summer (at least on our hemisphere) and to celebrate the World Cup victory of one of the devteams' countries. 

This build fixes some issues that were found in the runtime and the compiler in Beta 2.

It also fixes some issues in the Visual Studio 2017 integration and has improved keyword case synchronization and indenting support.

The compiler has some changes compared to the previous build but is still of release quality.
The runtime is a beta version and should not be used for production code. It also misses some features that you may need.

  • Thanks X# Team,

    Waiting for this.
    I do love the French town series.


    Now, we are in season's series.


    Let me guess, after this will be Fall Version. I need to go to download right away....

  • Hi Rene, thanks for your kind words, but I wasn't on the playground, I was on my coach ;)... Croatia has done a great match.

    Let's hope you were on the couch and not the coach. Deschamps looks like a nice man, but in your case I would prefer Pascale !

  • When can we expect an update of 1.21? I still have to apply a couple of steps with patches (given to me May 20 on top of the 1.21 of April 10) to get 1.21 working so I am more looking forward to a working "1.22" than another Bandol update which I can't use anyway. Unless I missed something, the Bandol versions are currently only useful for a small minority who do not need VO/Vulcan/dbf compatibility, correct?

    I may be wrong, but the Bandol versions replace the 1.x versions.

    In that case I think we need a bit more explanation. On the download the comment is:
    "The runtime is a beta version and should not be used for production code. It also misses some features that you may need."
    Two weeks earlier Robert wrote:
    "X# core (at this moment) does NOT have any functions. It has only the .Net data types and methods available."

    So I understood this was the Bandol version, also given the "missing features".

    So which version do I need to keep my X# Vulcan compatible DBF using code running? If that's still the 1.21 then please create at least 1.22 installer.

  • Hi Dick,
    the runtime is in beta - the compiler has production quality as stated in the announcement. In the 1.x series there was no runtime, so you can install 2.0.0.3 and use it as before.
    For the runtime you can continue to use the Vulcan runtime as before, until in a later Bandol release both the runtime and the RDDs are available.
