CVBasic IDE v1.5.2e throws a malware error with MalwareBytes - Malware.Sandbox. Any ideas? Thanks!
It was flagged as clean by Norton and Windows Defender before being uploaded, so can only think it is a false positive from MalwareBytes (the IDE was programmed in BlitzMax which unfortunately upsets some virus checkers). I have just rechecked the zip file without issues so can only suggest that you delete it if you're concerned.
Will this work with the newest version of CVBasic? Or is there another version of the IDE being worked on?

I have just released v1.4.1 which should do. Since CVBasic is being updated so often I ought to rethink how the IDE handles compiler-targets - maybe by adding a 'Target Editor' so that users can add them as they become available (that way I'd only need to update the IDE if something fundamental changed within CVBasic). However, the currently low number of IDE downloads suggests that's probably not necessary...
Just donated. Thank you for your work on this IDE! I can't tell you how many people I've seen quit homebrewing for compilers without great IDEs.
Thank you - your support is much appreciated.
