Improvements

PowerBuilder

The following enhancements are added to PowerBuilder 2025 Build 3559:

New Compiler

  • PBL and object support comments. The comments in PBL are saved in the .pblmeta file and the comments in object are saved in the source code file.

  • The objects in the PBL directory are loaded dynamically instead of loaded according to the .pbproj file which now only contains the directory list of .pbl and no longer contains the object list.

  • Supports UTF-8 without BOM. Users can use the [Library] node in pb.ini to set DefaultEncoding=64, otherwise, it's DefaultEncoding=4 by default.

    [library]
    DefaultEncoding=64

    4 = UTF+8 with BOM

    64 = UTF+8 without BOM

    Other invalid values will be processed as 4.

  • Supports LibraryDelete function in Solution mode.
