Wow, v4.0.5 from Oct 19, 2012?? That IS ancient. I am using a v4.0.5 from February 11, 2013. Shame there's been no releases since, or that the download page is still issuing a release 4 months OLDER than the one i am using.
I don't know what you're talking about. October was when 4.0.5 was released (so say the downloads page and the news on the front page). Did you re-build it in February or something?
FYI, 4.0b4 was released 8/29/2010.

No, you released it after fixing a couple fatal flaws i found in the October 2012 release, regarding memory leaks and DDLs, loading and UNloading DLLs, and the repeat() bug.
Looking at the tags, 4.0.5 was released on October 2012. http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/rev/362497032f33 There have been no further releases (or re-releases) since then for the 4.0 line. http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/tags
For those needing references like jimcbrown, i refer you to http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/120769.wc , feel free click "view thread" and scroll up if you want to view the fighting and drama in getting the fix done to that point.
The fixes you describe were indeed done by Feb of 2013, however they won't be in a released version until 4.0.6 is released. http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/rev/6bae389f572c?revcount=240 http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/rev/dd834258410e?revcount=240
They are also being documented in the release notes for 4.0.6 (rather than 4.0.5). http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euphoria/file/e79275ac5d37/docs/release/4.0.6.txt
The version you are running is technically a pre-alpha 4.0.6 - but it's so pre-alpha that it reports an incorrect version number!
But the official release of Oct 2012 is known to contain bugs. Why be still releasing it as the current version?! This is infuriating to me, and at least annoying to Ry (as he started that thread about it a week ago, which was never fully answered by any devs). It's infuriating to me because it's as if you are shooting yourself in both feet as to Eu being seen as bugfree and stable, and some of us know you're doing it, and there's nothing we can do about it but complain on the forum like this. The Feb 2013 should be the newest release, in my opinion, unless you are hiding something better.
