Just to let all know, we are completely recoding internal thinBasic data structure algorithms.
The reasons are:
better memory handling
better memory releasing
code property (before we were using some public code from others)
improve stability (previous code gave some random GPF on memory releasing)
possibly improve speed
This process touches the whoole variables handling (globals, locals, any type), all keywords handling, all functions handling. Most of the hard work is done by Hash Tables (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table), and Data Dictionaries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Dictionary).
We have almost finished. Just hardly testing all possible aspects in order to avoid any bug related to this process.

Eros
