Thank you very much Eros!

This release is major step forward, and many feature additions and fixes allowed me to translate the latest shiny OpenCL 1.1 headers (used for computations on graphic cards), please see here:

Thanks for the new version!

I am having real trouble downloading it from either of the urls supplied. So far, from my home computer and from my work computer, I only manage to download part of the file when I am informed that the file is unreadable and the download stops. Can you help?

A stupid (from my side) problem has been identified in thinAir when thinAir window is reduced and restored.
Mainly all the toolbar area is not repainted and the rest of child controls are not repositioned correctly.

To work around the problem you just need to resize (even a single pixel) the main thinAir window. This will repaint and reposition all the child controls.
I will try to solve this problem and repost new thinBasic version as soon as possible (not before this evening CET)

Sorry for this.
Eros

I've fixed the above problem and uploaded again thinBasic 1.8.9.0
If you are suffering the above problem, just download again thinBasic in install over previous version.

Sorry for the inconvenience and for the dummy bug I introduced.

I can confirm on Windows 7 64bit no redrawing issues occur, so I can only recommend the refreshed download :)
