The first stable release of GC Studio IDE 1.0 is released.
The IDE, based on VS code it is an open-source IDE with a specific extension/ for the Great Cow BASIC; PIC, AVR and LGT 8-bit range of microcontrollers are supported on the open-source compiler GCBASIC. Other extension include integrated Git and SVN.
Great Cow BASIC development started in 2006 and now GCBASIC supports over 1300 microcontrollers. GC Studio gives a modern and user-friendly user interface, improved help and compilation within many more features than the previous editor-based IDEs.
GC Studio was initially released as a BETA in March 2022 with milestone support, the improved user interface with features such as Intellisense, integrated Help, auto-completion of command, variables and methods. After 7 months of improvement with the help of members of the Great Cow BASIC community GC Studio IDE 1.0 is ready for prime time and it is now the default download for the toolchain.
GC Studio 1.0 supports Windows 32-bit and 64-bit
The roadmap now includes a new integrated terminal and data acquisition, GC Studio for Linux X86-64, and macOS 10.14 “Mojave” or newer, Raspberry Pi integrated communication and programming on Basic and Python – the journey will keep going.

GC Studio is the application that manages the Great Cow BASIC toolchain environment. It can maintain a consistent installation via channels. The channels are selectable by the user.
GC Studio is also the application launcher. The user can select difference code editors
GC Code – see below
Great Cow Graphical BASIC
SynWrite – the previous code editor
Geany
GC Studio was developed by Angel and is published on the Great Cow BASIC Organisations GitHub.
GC Code
GC Code is the code editor that supports the Great Cow BASIC specific extension developed by Angel and Evan. The Great Cow BASIC extension contains all the functionality/knowledge specific to coding in Great Cow BASIC.
GC Code.exe (the executable) is built on an open-source project called Code-Open Source Software (Code-OSS). Code-OSS is the core layer of VS Code. It is available on GitHub under the standard MIT License.
GC Code runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
GC Code is free for both private or commercial use.
GC Code from the beginning has DISABLED the Microsoft telemetry present on VisualStudio code; by default, to address user privacy concerns.
Questions and Answers
Will Sourceforge will remain as the Open Source Repository for Great Cow BASIC compiler code? yes
Can users continue to use legacy installers? yes –they will be on SourceForge. The Windows distribution that was published in Jan 2022 is now the legacy installer.
Can users can use GC STUDIO to create local configurations/installations? yes
Can users can fork the project to create other distributions? yes.
Can users can compile a local installation using the Open Source Sources published on SourceForge Forum? yes
.
How will this be governed going forward? A Great Cow BASIC Open Source Charter will be published in early December. This Charter will be open for revision for 28 days. After 28 days the Charter will be the Design Authority responsibilities, working practices going forward. The Charter will address 'how to request a change to the Charter'.
Has GC STUDIO met the functional criteria described in the JANUARY 2022 forum post ? Yes.
Has GC STUDIO met the non-functional criteria described in the MARCH 2022 forum post ? Yes.
Will the Windows patch zip be published ? No. GC STUDIO functionally replaces the ZIP.
What happens to the Linux distribution? It will continue as-is.
What happens to the MAC OS distribution ? It is no longer supported and is now deprecated as a distribution.
What is the scope of the GC Studio in terms of the tool chain ? The software defined in the Great Cow BASIC Bill of Materials is the scope of Great Cow BASIC solution.
Enjoy
