Title: What version of Axe would you recomend?

hopefully I got them all.

Since you're just starting out, I'd recommend the newest version. It's going to be more optimized and fully-featured than any other version. The only reason I haven't updated my version from 0.5.3b is because I still have programs made with older syntax that won't work in the new version, but once I fix them I will upgrade.

Why not use 1.0.5 :D It's newer and has moar features, and still works with Zedd ^^

I would love to read it!

Post by: Deep Toaster on October 02, 2011, 11:04:18 pm: Mine's a beginner's guide. Sounds like you want something like a more thorough commands list -- I think wiki.axe.omnimaga.org (http://wiki.axe.omnimaga.org/) is for that job :)

And I'd go for the latest as well (atm 1.0.5b)

Unfortunately (as alberthrocks pointed out on IRC), somebody vandalized it...

Post by: parserp on October 04, 2011, 04:38:05 pm: Thanks guys. looks like the newest version would be the best. :)
Title: Re: What version of Axe would you recomend?
Post by: saintrunner on October 29, 2011, 09:37:05 pm: yeah, always go for the newest one...even if it says there may b problems, usually as long as ur careful in ur coding, it doesnt effect any thing
Title: Re: What version of Axe would you recomend?
Post by: Deep Toaster on October 29, 2011, 11:10:22 pm: There shouldn't be any problems at all with version 1.0.5 except for incompatibility issues with versions prior to 1.0.0, so unless you've already made programs with older versions and don't want to rewrite, you shouldn't come across any issues with 1.0.5.

Post by: willrandship on October 29, 2011, 11:28:10 pm: There is absolutely no reason anyone should touch 0.0.1 outside of historical reference. I doubt the source code has more than 5% left over from it.

Spoiler For Spoiler:
that's why I voted for it :P

Post by: Stefan Bauwens on October 30, 2011, 03:36:00 pm: ~~I personally use 0.0.1~~
No, I would actually recommend the latest version because normally in each version the know bugs are fixed and new stuff are added.
And people who make stuff like Zedd should update their program and not let you downgrade to and older version of AXE.:P (Btw, Zedd apparently still works with the latest version)/me runs

Crabcake (http://omniurl.tk/8099/) and Fullrene (http://omniurl.tk/10916/) are both tools to allow programs to run that exceed the 8811-byte limit.

Essence compiles fine for me in 1.0.5 and it uses it..
(the 83pbe-safe mode at least, idk about the faster mode)
