coderjeff, v1c, DrV, etc. have released FreeBASIC 0.18.2b on 14 October 2007.

Website: http://www.freebasic.net

Changes:

> QB Compatibility Improvements:
>
> Updates to SCREEN, RND, INPUT, ERASE, PCOPY in text mode, all impoved
> for 100% compatibility with QB sources.
>
> Default field alignment in TYPEs:
>
> For improved header portability, and to fix the long time problems with
> BFD compatibility on linux, the default field alignment in TYPE's have
> been changed to 4 bytes on DOS and Linux. FreeBASIC libraries will
> likely need to be rebuilt due to this change. In all platforms, care
> must be taken when using TYPE's for file I/O, and it is recommended
> that FIELD=1 be used in such cases to save space as well platform
> portable field alignment.
>
> Cross Compilation:
>
> The windows version was previously enabled with all the possible
> cross compilation targets. This was cut down to just Cygwin and
> DOS as both should work. The other cross compilation targets are
> available: compile fbc from sources and specify the needed
> --enable-crosscomp-target switches. See ./src/compiler/INSTALL in
> the source distribution for more details.
