Speed up Liberty BASIC programs by up to ten times!
Compile Liberty BASIC programs to compact, standalone executables!
Overcome many of Liberty BASIC's bugs and limitations!
You should perhaps say if LB 5 comes out! It was originally forecast to be released around the beginning of 2005 so we should be celebrating the 10th anniversary now:
Wait, WHAT ARE WE STANDING AROUND FOR! We need to arrange a party!
New object syntax (much cleaner and easier) Possible, but if it's purely 'cosmetic' (i.e. not actual new functionality) I would need to be convinced of its value.
Create your own reusable modules LBB already has this, using 'include
Tabbed editor Possible. I have code which does this that I could transplant into LBB.
Debugging improvements Impossible to say, because I don't know what they are!
Improved performance I think it's likely LBB is already as fast as, if not faster than, LB5!
ODBC database access (also MySQL and SQLite) Possible, but I would need to see the syntax.
Better distribution packaging (no more TKN files) LBB creates compact standalone EXE files! I bet LB5 won't do that!
Three (and four and five...) dimensional arrays Already in LBB, although you can't REDIM them to a different size. It would be relatively straightforward to add the REDIM capability if LB5 provides it.
Raised memory ceiling (no more 70MB limit) LBB already provides 500 Mbytes (and REDIM can use all the available 32-bit memory).

Thanks for letting me know! I think making common controls have their own commands is the best idea LB5's got. I know the things you have are already in LBB in some cases.
