Thanks to Lexikos, the release has been fixed so that bitwise operations involving floating point variables don't wrongly cache those variables as integers. Without the correction, the following example shows "2" instead of the expected "3.000000":

The link still points to the old AutoHotkeySC.bin, w/o the bugfix, so compiled scripts still show 2 intead of 3.000000 with the test script. In the first post there are two links to the bin file, which needed update.

Thanks. I've fixed the BIN/compiler ZIP file to contain the new version instead of the old one. All the old links (in case anyone has saved them or they appear elsewhere in the topic) also contain the newest versions.

Hi Chris,

really great the idea of storing the real number as binary (Real*8 = Double = precision 15 decimal digits) and not as a string and thanks for your work.

I was waiting for that: Date + time calculation starting in 1582 needs 14 digits for msec precision. Used "SetFormat Float 0.16E" before.

To avoid code bloat, AutoHotkey currently uses the Windows API for date/time math. Hopefully it is just as accurate as the library above.

I have a small hotkey to start a new empty notepad.

;New Notepad
^!n::Run notepad.exe

But since the new beta version, I always starts in the background and I have to click on the taskbar icon.
With the previous version, I was the topmost program

[Chris]

No changes were made to those parts of the program. So it could just be a timing issue or some OS quirk.

What am I doing wrong? I can't get scripts to compile successfully using the NoDecompile switch. Are you sure the version in the zip file is the right one? (After all, the zip file says "new2" not "new3"...)

[Chris]

I've successfully tested the NoDecompile switch with this version. So perhaps your version of Ahk2Exe is too old. Try replacing it with the following: www.autohotkey.com/misc/Ahk2Exe-1.0.47.06.zip

[BenCh]

Thank-you, that fixed it.

Have been checking the beta on some scripts and am indeed seeing faster performance.

One strange behaviour on same script between its uncompiled and compiled forms. I'm fairly sure I'm using the beta AHK .exe and the beta AHK SC.bin in the Compiler directory.

It's the effect of "SetFormat, integer". Here's a code snippet

[Lexikos]

AutoHotkey_L (my custom build) has been updated with bug-fixes and optimizations from the current beta, a fix for the bug reported by Ian, and one new feature.

Chris, the section of code which disables binary number write-caching was omitted from SC builds, along with load-time validation of SetFormat's parameters.
