What you think about this still with Harbour version 3.2 or changes to version 3.4 ?
Hi Claudio,

I've switched the MiniguiEx's MinGW-based build to the Viktor's Harbour fork and it's works very good.
But this move will be required a small tuning from you because the some obsolete harbour functions marked with the constant HB_LEGACY_LEVEL4 was removed from above fork :geek:
And note that Viktor's snapshot build is 64 bits based now...

Primeramente, gracias Claudio y demás por darnos esta oportunidad de opinion, principalmente en este punto muy importante para nuestra comunidad.

En mi opinion, deberíamos acompañar más de cerca los cambios, mejorias y reparaciones hechas en 3.4. La version 3.4 parece más acompañar nuestros actuales pasos.

Así parece ser, un fork. Pero qué mal hay en eso y en qué nos implica, Claudio?
Me suena algo redundante pero talvez en el futuro, eso no sea asi...

Entiendo.
De cualquier forma HMG está en remolque con Harbour, sea de uno o de otro. Pero lo importante que hay avances con la version de Viktor Szakáts y la correcciones como la del hb_BLen() es bien evidente y real cuanto al bug en UNICODE.

Me parece que esto es bueno y demande algunas acomodaciones (no lo sé). :?

Compatibilidades parecen haberlas.

Es bueno saber de antecedencia las preposiciones y pensar que una sola persona puede llegar a faltarnos? Nadie, ni nada es eterno. Todo tiene un comienzo y un fin. A veces precisamos tirarnos a la pileta para saber si hay água... Lo que considero, es que hay un trabajo en adamiento y correciones que nos hacen falta. De todas formas, la opinion de Roberto seria importante a considerar, porque él siempre fue nuestra brújula.

Visto a la retrocompatibilidad, avanzos y arreglos: me quedo con la version 3.4.
Esa es mi opinion personal.

Hi Claudio:

One thing disturbes me, on Grigory explanation:

"And note that Viktor's snapshot build is 64 bits based now..."

If we go that way, we may loose compatibility with 32 bits hardware, and these mean:
1) Preserve old HMG Version for developing app 32 bit, what mean we must do twice the same job
2) Go to a 64 bits version and force our clients to upgrade hardware.-

With regards.

All of these aren't good news :(

The worst thing is : may be signs of end of open source road for Harbour :cry:

Anyway, viva HMG :D

First, thanks Claudio and others for giving us this opportunity of opinion, especially in this very important point for our community.

In my opinion, we should accompany more closely the changes, improvements or repairs performed at 3.4. The version 3.4 seems to accompany our current steps.
srvet_claudio wrote:I have been thinking about this matter, but not if it worth upgrading to fork 3.4.
This seems to be a fork. But what's wrong with it and what we mean, Claudio?
It sounds somewhat redundant but maybe in the future, that will be not so ...

I get it.
Anyway HMG is trailed from Harbour, either one or the other. But the important thing there is progress with the version of Viktor Szakáts and corrections as the hb_BLen () is quite clear and true as the bug in UNICODE.

I think this is good and demand some accommodations (do not know). :?

It seems to have compatibilities

It is good to know prepositions with antecedence and think that one person could fail to us? No, nothing is eternal. Everything has a beginning and an end. Sometimes we need to throw ourselves into the pool to see if there is water ... What I think is that there is a work in progress and corrections that we need. However, the opinion of Roberto is important to be considered, because he was always our compass.

Seen backwards compatibility, advances and arrangements: I stay with version 3.4.
That's my personal opinion.

In my view, does not mean that 3.4 is unique in 64bits. On the contrary, it is prepared for 32 and 64bit.

No one is forcing anything on the version of Viktor's Harbour.

I think he's concerning to be able with 64bits
