Migration guide

Introduction

PureBasic is a modern programming language which evolves quickly to follow technologic changes and brings up-to-date commandset to the programmer. It sometimes involves to change or redesign some part of the language. While we try to keep these breaking changes to a minimum, it can happen and this migration guide will help to update your source from one version to another.

If you need stability instead of cutting edge features, we highly recommend to stick to 'LTS' (Long Term Support) version of PureBasic, which are released every 2 years, and are actively maintained for bug fixes.
