Linux Mint Users - Upgrade to 21.1 Vera - FYI

[Quincunxian]

Greetings all - For any Mint users.

I opted to upgrade from Mint 20 to Mint 21.1 and the upgrade process asked me to 'downgrade' my current version of Gambas to 'the previous version as it may cause issues'?
It would not upgrade until I had resolved this. (I was on the standard stable version from the ppa installation gambas-team)

Not really knowing how to do this downgrade, I fully uninstalled Gambas to get the upgrade to work.
After the upgrade, I reinstalled Gambas from the ppa gambas-teams and all worked as expected.

The only issue I experienced was that collapsing of code in the editor did not work, but this has been an ongoing and intermittent issue so expect it will resolve itself in due course.

The only other things to note was that my apatche2 service failed to start due to an error, which turned out to be the upgrade pushed my php version from 7.4 to 8.1.

Cheers for the info.

I upgraded 2 of my machines a little while ago but I do not use the apt gambas I compile and had no gambas issues at all.

The upgrade to Mint 21.1 raised issues with me as well. I had to uninstall Gambas, then reinstall it from the ppa after the update.

Have you tried using the IDE the old way? (using QT instead of gtk3) , it might fix the problem. i have no problems with procedure collapsing the way i do it, but maybe you do it differently as there are probably different ways.
there were various issues people had when Benoit first changed the IDE from using qt to gtk3 , most issues were something to do with keyboard/mouse functions that used to do something and did not anymore.
Most though are because of how the toolkits work differently, and most problems resolved by the people using the IDE with QT instead as this had the behaviors they were used to.
