The azores.linex.org/gambas-other repository contains version 2.5-1, which is more recent that the one in the Ubuntu repositories. I've confirmed that it works great in Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop AMD64, as I've used it extensively. For whatever reason the demo applications are still mostly broken however. The current stable release is 2.7.0 (gambas.sourceforge.net), and it doesn't appear as if anyone's been building Debian packages since 2.5-1.
GAMBAS is in my opinion one of the few "killer apps" available for Linux, considering it blows Visual Basic out of the water hands down. It is the only highly polished, highly functional, complete IDE/RAD environment for Linux that I know of, and should really be given more of a marketing and packaging push as a selling point of Ubuntu. There are a lot of Windows developers that love Visual Basic and don't want to learn C++, etc., just to make an in-house GUI application for their company. GAMBAS fills that gap in Linux and is a little known gem that more people need to know about. -- [hardy] New upstream gambas release https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
